At 95, Yvonne Bobb-Smith is still do­ing what she has loved since child­hood: re­flect­ing on life, telling sto­ries, and invit­ing oth­ers to think more deeply about the hu­man ex­pe­ri­ence.

It’s the ca­su­al kind that slips from the tongue in po­lite con­ver­sa­tion, but the deep, all-con­sum­ing grate­ful­ness that comes from hav­ing faced a mo­ment when every­thing could have changed.

The Shi­va Gana Or­gan­i­sa­tion wel­comed the Hin­du New Year with a street pro­ces­sion along Mon Plaisir Road in Cunu­pia on March 19. The pro­ces­sion moved from the home of Pun­dit Narindra Ma­haraj to the Pun­dit Sim­boo­dath Misir Ashram Cam­poo Shi­va Mandir.

When Mar­sha Mas­si­ah was five years old, her moth­er had a chal­lenge. She was read­ing so many La­dy­bird Books that her moth­er had to ask her to slow down, or she risked run­ning out of mon­ey. That young la­dy with an ex­tra­or­di­nary ap­petite for read­ing has be­come the lead­ing fig­ure be­hind the Brook­lyn Caribbean Lit­er­ary Fes­ti­val (BCLF) - a lit­er­ary event based in New York every Sep­tem­ber that wel­comes the top Caribbean writ­ers of the year to the Big Ap­ple.

Preg­nan­cy is a re­mark­able jour­ney, but it is al­so a time when care­ful med­ical at­ten­tion is es­sen­tial to pro­tect both moth­er and ba­by. An­te­na­tal care is not just about rou­tine vis­its—it is about time­ly screen­ing, ear­ly de­tec­tion, and pre­ven­tion of com­pli­ca­tions that may oth­er­wise go un­no­ticed. It’s a well-known fact that pa­tients with no an­te­na­tal care have in­creased mor­bid­i­ty and mor­tal­i­ty.

The Live­Cur­rent In­ter­na­tion­al Min­istry, led by Tri­ni-Amer­i­can First La­dy Geno­la Clark and Amer­i­can Rev. Oba­di­ah Clark, re­cent­ly ex­tend­ed heart­felt thanks to Chapel on the Hill Church’s mis­sion­ar­ies from Penn­syl­va­nia, for their col­lab­o­ra­tive par­tic­i­pa­tion in the min­istry’s “beau­ti­fi­ca­tion-plus” project in Trinidad.

Bi­ol­o­gy dic­tates that men do not ex­pe­ri­ence menopause, but that does not mean they should not ed­u­cate them­selves about it.

“Con­grat­u­la­tions to the Trinidad and To­ba­go mem­bers who have been el­e­vat­ed from base mem­ber to Olóye (chief), and from Olóye to Así­pa (di­rec­tor),” were the words of Niger­ian Òso­gun Ààro Àg­báyé, Oba Ìsórò Oládàpo Oláfíràn­sé, fol­low­ing a re­cent cer­e­mo­ny in Trinidad and To­ba­go.

As a young boy, Adan Jes­samy grew up with “old-school” par­ents who pri­ori­tised aca­d­e­mics over the arts. To­day, he is build­ing a suc­cess­ful rug-mak­ing busi­ness, while show­ing and en­cour­ag­ing oth­ers to pur­sue their cre­ative pas­sions.

Twelve dance ath­letes are set to com­pete for the op­por­tu­ni­ty to rep­re­sent Trinidad and To­ba­go at a three-day in­ter­na­tion­al dance fes­ti­val in Ar­genti­na.

The stu­dents of La­dy Ho­choy School in Gas­par­il­lo trans­formed the Pleas­antville Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­tre in­to a mov­ing stage of faith, re­flec­tion and tri­umph re­cent­ly, as they de­liv­ered a pow­er­ful East­er con­cert cap­tur­ing the strug­gles and ul­ti­mate res­ur­rec­tion of Je­sus Christ.

If a pic­ture tells a thou­sand words, then pho­tog­ra­ph­er Roger Lewis has sto­ries for a life­time. The in­ter­est­ing thing about the sea­soned pho­tog­ra­ph­er is that he re­al­ly doesn’t set out to cap­ture any one par­tic­u­lar thing. He lets the art guide him, and he sees it every­where. His ul­ti­mate goal is to leave be­hind “foot­prints of Trin­ba­go”. With more pho­tos tak­en than he can count over two decades, he has def­i­nite­ly ac­com­plished that goal.
