2012 BAJAN FUSION: June 25-30th- A week of 'FLO'ing events in Barbados!!

BAJAN FUSION PROJECT

Hello M.A.D Skills Blogger Friends et al,

I wanted to share with you an idea I conceptualized back in New York called BAJAN FUSION, which is now being developed as my ‘First Big Barbados Project’.

On December 9th, 2011, I registered the company “Artistik Flava” in Barbados, with the intent of contributing to the fusion of Barbadian talent. The mission of my company is to offer creative, consulting and educational services and solutions to individuals and businesses, while being a catalyst of change through the empowerment and development of ‘borderless communities’.

Bajan Fusion 2012, Pon De Flo is just the beginning of this passion.

Six months of non-stop networking, relationship building and proposal writing are a few of the many things keeping me busy. It’s been such a fun, challenging, rewarding and learning experience, but the work doesn’t end here, there are still some lose ends to tie, I's to dot and T's to cross. 

I am forever grateful to my family, friends, professional and social networks who have been and are still very supportive and those who are helping to make this event possible.

My hope is that you can all share in THE EXPERIENCE!

If you’re thinking about a vacation for 2012 and haven’t planned a trip, Barbados “Beautiful Island In The Sun” is the place to be. Please feel free to connect with me for further details at bajanfusion@gmail.com.

• Bajan Fusion/Pon de FLO dates are June 25th - June 30^th, 2012.

• Pon de FLO comes back for Cropover/Kadooment (Carnival): August 1st - August 8th, 2012

FUN FACT: People from Barbados are Barbadian and are called Bajan in slang. If you were born of Bajan parents outside of Barbados, especially the US you are called a Bajan Yankee.

Career Aspirations

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Does it wrestle with your heart when you know someone who has so much potential but just can't seem to catch a break? What about yourself? Are the stars aligning in your favor? If not, what are you doing about it?

It's not easy when you've made great effort, but things are taking their time. At times, doubts can also creep in. You begin to question yourself, the process, the barriers, and the decision-makers involved. It is true that sometimes hiring organizations can overlook passionate and ambitious individuals simply because they lack in a specific area. Sometimes such organizations should make an effort to give people a chance to prove themselves, that's what taking risks is all about. That's how we grow and transform as companies. But it is a lot easier to work on ourselves and make changes in ourselves, than to change companies and organizations.

So if you are someone in need of that chance, don't let the doubts hold you back. Get back into the game, make some changes, acquire new skills or experiences, and wait for the results.

• Know that you are a work in progress. 
• Be diligent, be prepared, get the support and guidance you need.
• Live with patience knowing that it will get better. 
• Stay positive and keep moving forward.
