  Speaker 2: airplanes and they cannot tell me. Yeah, I'm by the airport,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: but those are not airplanes. I know what airplanes look

  Speaker 2: Well we can hear you. Oh wonderful here if you
• 7:47

• 7:51
  Speaker 2: In the background, I was actually on the phone with her,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: so we was just having a conversation right before we
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: jumped on live. So we ready, we stay ready.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Oh fantastic.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: Well, first and foremost, please stay because I prefer for
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: this to be collective, because it's going to be someone short.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: Because I'm literally standing outside under an awning in a
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: historic building, so that for whatever reason this building was
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: built like in the late seventeen hundreds and it's not
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: permitting the Internet signal, and I didn't know that.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: I thought it would.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Have been a nice ambiance to add, since March is
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: honored at International Women's Months, obviously, to really highlight the
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: achievements the engagements of our women folk globally, right, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: there's a lot of things that are happening with the
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: United Nations Commission on the Status of Women that I
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: think is really important for us as sisters around.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: The Crew podcast to just keep.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Our energies going and flowing, because we've got authors, poets, scientists, artisans,
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: all types of healers, spiritual leaders, activists, inspirational speakers, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: much much more right amongst us. And then here in
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: the Virgin Islands, the month of March is also designated
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: as the Virgin Islands History Month, So it allows us
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: to use each day in March to highlight not just one,
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: not just two, but a multiplicity of Virgin Islanders persons
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: that are born here, that have contributed here, that worship here,
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: that recreate here, that labor here in terms of their
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: engagements in uplifting Virgin Islands history, culture, traditions, education.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Achievements and much more.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: And what's funny is I'm literally standing in front of
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: a building that is a space called Hamilton's House. So
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: if you look in the back of me, you're gonna
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: see these wonderful paintings and illustrations of the Alexander Hamilton,
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: who while born in the island of Nevis, he grew
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: up as a youth and studied here in Saint Croix.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: And then on the other side.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: Of the space called Hamilton's there's also a picture, another
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: painting of another one of our historical comes, the honorable
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: David Hamilton Jackson, who was an African born Virgin Island
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: was then Danish West Indies.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: He was a labor leader, he.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Was a publisher. I want to highlight that because he
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: really pushed for the first liberty newspaper here in the
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: Virgin Islands now that was then the Danish West Indies.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: And he was a judge and a lawyer and a
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: bunch of other things in addition to being a significant
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: contributor to all things here in the Virgin Islands. So
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: I just wanted you all to be where I'm standing.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Where I'm at this is on Company Street in the
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: isle of Saint the of course, two square Sat John's twenty.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Square miles and our fourth island that people tend to
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: overlook is Water Island, which is two square miles.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: So this just gives us an opportunity to be in
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: the space to talk about how we're able to bring
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: some of these conversations around Virgin Island's history and heritage
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: and culture as well as International Women's History Months, or
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: where some people referred to as just International Women's Month.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: And I think that with that, my intention was to
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: have the opportunity to share with our viewers and listeners
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: a little bit more about some of the activities that
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: are forcedcoming during this month. There are a number of
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: historical cultural traditions, s tuality, science and arts initiatives that
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: are being speattered here in the Virgin Islands.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Regardless of all of the.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Silence and quietness around DEI diversity, equity and inclusion, we're
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: learning that many of our non governmental organizations, many of
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: our community based organizations, our civil society organizations, are using
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: this as a time to repair the damages done amongst
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: our humanity that shared and I'm really excited to just
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: be able to share that short piece, that short snippet
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: of how we're moving beyond the distractions or the limitations
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: or the anger mismanagement comes to find these things is
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: anger mismanagement when we start to talk about how we
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: look at what's happening nationally that's impassing our global communities
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: and how our women folks work alongside with our men folks,
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: our youth, our elders and all in between to be
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: able to show a layer of respect.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: A layer, a layer of how we bring truth, ask power,
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: and a variety the other that I desire to share
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: with sister.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Since we're speaking.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: About international women's mind with the Galla Geechee community in
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: the forty eight contiguous US, there was a recent international
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: Gullageechee Cultural Heritage Conference that was hosted at Coastal Carolina University.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: I want to send a special shout out to CCU
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: and all of its administration and staff from making that
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: a very resounding successful gathering. And I want to send
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: a special shout out to sister Queen Zenobia, who I
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: did not get a chance to speak with her at length,
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: but he was really instrumental with her team of other
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: sisters as well as brothers that worked to get their
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: students to work together to really give an international voice
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: an international publication opportunity that brought brothers and sisters literally
• 15:27

• 15:32
  Speaker 6: Canada as well as Surinama. And there was a publications

  Speaker 2: As they shout out Conway.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Of course, definitely shout out right because I'm grateful for that.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: And what was powerful was to see the number of publications.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: We got some serious authors on this side of the Atlantic,
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: and I really am excited to be able to share,
• 16:00

• 16:03
  Speaker 6: different primarily the women were who I had a chance
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: to be able to have opportunities to interface and speak
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: with during that time in South Carolina. And I'm looking
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: forward to being in a place where I have full
• 16:19

  Speaker 6: out since we have some limitations in some of our
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: technologies right here for tonight. Anything else further you think
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: I need to cover, Sister Queen.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Now you good. I mean, that's good. But it's just
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: a small world. Because Patrice down there in Charleston, Golagucci area,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: that that's in the one hundred office movement, he's Glagucci.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: He that's that's that's that's in his bio. Yes, we're gonna.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: Get it right, because there's a lot of partnerships. Yeah,
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: there's some wonderful partnerships and like we met some folks
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: like I need to in our next podcast. I know,
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna take some qualitative time to pull that program
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: so I can go through the number of persons that
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: are linked to that International Dalagichi Cultural Heritage Corner and
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: then all of the different agencies that they're looking for
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: to support and provide resources and to expand economic development opportunities.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: They're looking to be able.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: To have that parallel source for persons that want to
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: published about Golagchi live about you don't share the lifestyle
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: of Glagchi.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: I mean I saw sisters and brothers that have.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: All kinds of crafts, all types. It was a whole
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: artisans network.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I went, I'm telling you, I went to an event
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: down there in Charleston. Patrice came out there. I think
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: that was the first time me and Patrice met in person.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: And the lady was down there. She was she was
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: teaching different cowls and different things that they they say
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: and things that they were doing, and she was she
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: was just doing different stuff like it was fun. They was.
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: They did dancing, They did some dances and if I'm
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: not mistaken Patrise's daughter. Her school is connected to the Golagche.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: If I'm not wonderful, wonderful, well she on here.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Well I know that we have.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: But what I'm gonna make sure that we do is
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: have that as part of our discussion so that it
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: doesn't you know, my guests can just be O a
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: sissequin that know even more than what I'm sharing, because
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: I think it's really critical for persons to know that
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: there were a number of opportunities and I don't want
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: to keep coming back to that on economic development drivers,
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: economic development initiatives, so that the Gullageche traditions, culture, heritage, arts, science, education,
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: all of that are highlighted, respectfully supported and sustaining.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: I want to highlight that.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: Part that they're respectfully and sustainably preserved. Like that was
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: the part that I thought was, you know, there were
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: I didn't know they had a whole commission.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: You know, they've been they're getting ready to celebrate.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: Twenty years of having their respective heritage area World Heritage
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: initiatives in place in twenty twenty six. So there were
