On March 7, the man­age­ment and mem­bers of Re­pub­lic Bank Ex­o­dus Steel Or­ches­tra (XO), along with spe­cial­ly in­vit­ed guests, gath­ered at the home of the bank’s man­ag­ing di­rec­tor, Nigel Bap­tiste, to cel­e­brate the band’s vic­to­ry at this year’s Na­tion­al Panora­ma fi­nal.

For decades, the name Na­pari­ma Girls’ High School (NGHS) has been syn­ony­mous with more than just aca­d­e­m­ic pres­tige. In many house­holds across T&T and the di­as­po­ra, the school is rep­re­sent­ed by its icon­ic cook­book.

A re­cent­ly es­tab­lished, re­gion­al­ly based, in­ter­na­tion­al net­work is ad­vo­cat­ing for more ur­gent of­fi­cial ac­tion to ad­dress the per­va­sive life-al­ter­ing in­ci­dence of en­dometrio­sis (en­do) in the Caribbean.

A new fo­rum for stu­dents to ex­plore play­mak­ing through Caribbean cul­tur­al forms is tak­ing cen­tre stage in schools across Trinidad and To­ba­go.

Lyris Gra­ham-Williams knows what it means to lead, and to fol­low. At home, her hus­band takes the reins, and she em­braces her role as wife and helper, ground­ed in their Chris­t­ian faith and mu­tu­al re­spect. But for two years at Amal­ga­mat­ed Se­cu­ri­ty Ser­vices Lim­it­ed (ASSL), the roles re­versed. In the of­fice, he re­port­ed to her.

If you haven’t seen Dan­it­sia Sa­hadews­ing’s blind au­di­tion on The Voice of Hol­land last month, then you missed one of the com­pe­ti­tion’s most un­ex­pect­ed mo­ments (but there’s al­ways Google!). She de­liv­ered Patrice Roberts’ 2015 hit, ‘Old and Grey,’ of­fi­cial­ly putting so­ca mu­sic on the Dutch map and in­tro­duc­ing the genre to an in­ter­na­tion­al au­di­ence most­ly un­fa­mil­iar with its in­fec­tious en­er­gy. Her per­for­mance was every­thing a Trin­bag­on­ian would be proud of — brave, bold, and con­fi­dent.

Nile Mans­ingh has trav­elled to at least 20 coun­tries around the world – quite an ac­com­plish­ment for a 15-year-old. But her ac­com­plish­ments ex­tend far be­yond her trav­els.

A com­mu­ni­ca­tions pro­fes­sion­al, sales ex­ec­u­tive and life­long stu­dent of lead­er­ship, Ma­hon-Hen­ry has worn many hats over the years. Yet the ti­tle she is prepar­ing to em­brace most ful­ly is “au­thor,” with the up­com­ing launch of her de­vo­tion­al book Spir­i­tu­al Hide and Seek, a work root­ed in the en­dur­ing pow­er of Psalm 91 and the idea that faith must be lived, not mere­ly re­cit­ed.

Terneille Samuel Her­bert knows the val­ue of get­ting op­por­tu­ni­ties to shine in the per­form­ing arts as a child all too well. From be­ing trained by some of the top lo­cal pro­fes­sion­als in dance, the­atre and mu­sic, to plac­ing sec­ond in TTT’s Twelve and Un­der com­pe­ti­tion, she re­mains grate­ful. And now, years lat­er, she has cho­sen to give back to youths through Tal­ent­Pot—a com­pe­ti­tion for kids.
