I am happy to share that I was recently awarded the Josie Jolley Student Award.

I am honoured to have been chosen for this prize, which celebrates students who have made significant contributions to the School of Global Studies at the University of Sussex.

I am grateful to those who nominated me and to the selection panel for recognising the selfless work I have done around the school throughout the year in the areas of communications, organising academic and social events, advocating for students, increasing the visibility of Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples and cultures, and promoting Latin America and the Caribbean.

Another year of life brings new lessons, experiences, and opportunities. I am grateful for all of life's gifts, every blessing, and the good people who have crossed my path. I trust that the journey ahead will continue to be rewarding.

Here’s to another year of great things!

On World Environment Day, the message remains the as same every year: to care for our natural heritage through sustainable practices that benefit nature and all its species.

Our greatest legacy to future generations is environmental awareness and preserving the resources we enjoy today.

On International Women's Day, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of women throughout history and from around the world, acknowledging their invaluable contributions to every aspect of society. From revolutionary scientific discoveries to pivotal advancements in civil rights, women have continually shattered barriers and challenged norms, reshaping the world we live in today.

Today, let us reaffirm our commitment to gender equality and honour the indomitable spirit of women everywhere, who continue to shape our world for the better.

Today, Caribbean Nicaragua celebrates its autonomous elections, where people from various Indigenous, Afrodescendant and ethnic communities vote for the regional legislature to form our government. 

From my home in the UK, I proudly raise the Autonomy flag, also known as the flag of Caribbean Nicaragua. It symbolizes our resilient history, achievements and rich cultural and linguistic heritage.

As a Creole person born and raised in Caribbean Nicaragua —and who has served locally for various years in the academic, cultural and youth sectors— I recognize the importance of continuing to strengthen the autonomy regime and working towards fully achieving ancestral rights across different areas.

It is in our hands, as young professionals, to continue working to build the land we dream of and that our ancestors so desired. 

Long live our Autonomy!

El periodismo es una labor que debe ser asumida con responsabilidad, ética y una aptitud humanista. No solo implica informar, sino también crear conciencia, promover valores y contribuir a la construcción de la sociedad.

En el Día del Periodista Nicaragüense, quiero extender un cálido saludo a mis colegas, mujeres y hombres de prensa y de la comunicología, quienes se dedican a esta bonita labor.
