My talk at the University of the West Indies Dominica in 2010

I do believe the expression is better late than never! I spent some time last week looking through my videos taken while in Dominica and putting some of them up on my Youtube page – I think I took more video footage inside of a car than out of it! At least I managed to get a few things together but still disappointed I never got round to interviewing any elders which is what I really wanted to do.

My sights are on 2012 being my next visit to Dominica – this time with the kids rather than on my own – unless someone wants to invite me back to speak of course which is always a pleasure to do on any Caribbean island. :)

This is the talk I gave on the day.

My visit to Portsmouth with a whole bunch of family that I had only just met

I was always obsessed with the view and took loads of video of the moutains and surroundings – great for me – boring for anyone else!

Next time I will make sure I take loads of photos too because I didn’t get any and I still have a few more videos to put together which show Fond St Jean – the place I will be setting up home in Dominica.

Dominican Diaspora Social Network for people from the Commonwealth of Dominica

Today I am helping Diane “tidy up” her video sharing sites online and I found this video that was made in 2010 to promote the Dominican Diaspora social network. The social network was set up for anyone who is from Dominica, lives in Dominica, has visited and loves Dominica.
