Welcome to my website through which I network with
relatives (in Diaspora) and friends or just those surfing by. So thanks
for popping by!If it's about Christmas time, do have a read of my
personal Christmas Letter if you so wish
by clicking here.
The site is also a link for my personal and professional
interests and issues that you might also like to explore.
Unless you are in Barbados at Easter, guess you might not
believe that flying kites can be fun!
Work & Me! I would like to believe I am
Jamaican through and through, but this would involve a great
deal of unpacking, living here in the UK. I came here as a
young man, did some studies and subsequently worked
within the criminal justice system for 30 years. Initially a
pioneer of independent mind, I am now anxious that the people
of the Caribbean fight harder to achieve on all levels of this
society as well as to seek the responsibility of high office.
We are yet to realise the value and power of our collective
experience, and we run the risk of being "left behind" even by
more recently arrived immigrant/ethnic groups. I am fully
committed to social justice, anti-racism and to getting things done - and well!
More recently I did a MA (Race & Ethnicity) to
continue the fight in areas where social and institutional
changes are imperative. I firmly believe that it is the belief
that humans are divided into "races" that feeds racial
stereotypes, prejudice and racial oppression; but that the
assertion of"black pride" is as necessary as the acceptance of
other people who are visibly different. I am weary of either
white or black apartheid. Finally, though I might die poor, "I
will not live an unlived life" (Markova)!

FAMILY
|
| I'm Basil, and I live in the UK. We have 3 sons who have all but fled the nest - though one can never be too sure. Click below for a glimpse of them. >As
a mentoring and project management consultant, I trade under the name, EMBRIO TLC. If you are interested in my profile, then “sud off” – or if you do have the stomach for it, click
here. Around Christmas time I usually do a Christmas letter which should
be accessible by clicking here or finding the right button to the right. Otherwise, keep looking around – just watch my “flaming” furniture!

Cricket
has been my other main passion - playing over the years for Wigan U.CC., Honor Oak CC, Bristol West Indian CC, Birmingham
Cavaliers CC, & Moseley CC (was on the winning side at Lords in 1980
in the Haig Trophy). BWICC/RGSL is a black
cricket project in Bristol
I headed to establish sporting facilities through Lottery funding.
Guess you could say
that in more than one way, I enjoy flying kites. I love music (esp.
jazz), but now only occasionally find time to pick up my double bass and
amuse myself at home. I'm heading a charity to assist disadvantaged,
disabled and disaffected (3D) youths of Jamaica.
