This year, for the first time, I'm going to partake in the tradition of end-of-year reflection. Well, for the first on the blog. No resolutions here, just a recap of what went well in 2014 - and in late 2013. (I know it's sneaky but I'm bending slightly since it's my first time!)
2013 October/November
The blog "Kick Een She Back Door Ban? Why?" was one of the most viewed posts since I've been writing
Zee Speaks. The song by Antiguan soca band Burning Flames was majorly controversial, but as much as I didn't like it, I didn't agree with a call for it to be banned either. Read the post again HERE.
I gave my second lecture at The University of the West Indies. The first was in 2011 to Cultural Studies students on careers in the creative sector. This most recent presentation focused on Mental Health in the media and was shared with psychology students. I spoke about best practice for speaking about mental illness in the news, activism, advocacy through letter writing and on a slight twist, feminism. It was actually quite an awesome session.
