Wow Black History Month and Reggae Month in one - cultural and history overload! Many people ask why we have to celebrate black history. Quick answer - because no one else is and everyone needs to have their story told. It's the same thing with reggae. I come from a small nation that punches way above its weight and a lot of our punch comes from our music. This month I want to stretch my thinking and learn some lessons from popular reggae songs and some history. I am not sure that I have a whole month in me but let's see how far we go....... Day One! No Woman nuh Cry by Reggae Legend the late Robert Nesta Marley. At long last we are paying attention to mental wellness. According to the National Library of Medicine "It is increasingly being recognized that the mental health of employees is a crucial determinant in their overall health and that poor mental health and stressors at the workplace can be a contributory factor to a range of physical illnesses like hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular conditions, amongst others. In addition, poor mental health can also lead to burn-out amongst employees, seriously affecting their ability to contribute meaningfully in both their personal and professional lives". So how is mental wellness at your workplace? Are the women (and men) crying out for help? Do you have facilities in place to support them? Do they know about these resources? Can they use them without being shamed? Do your leaders know how to recognise when people are crying out for help? Where do you score on this list and what do you need to do?

The Caribbean has an interesting history, an interesting ongoing story, an interesting people. Consider first, that Islanders Lived there Before The Africans Arrived for Slavery, Consider also that islanders were left Behind after the Abolition of Slavery. It is also interesting to note that the Caribbean Played a Key Part of The Slave Trade, 1) Global Production Output of Key Resources using Slave Labor 2) The Breaking Ground for the slaves being traded themselves. Humanity has Grown Closer, Compassion is foundational to our united human moral code. Nations and people rebuild communities, love has transcended race and color, yet I have found 3 things Growing up on the Island 1) The Caribbean must again awake and compete on the Global Stage, claim its global share in International Commerce, and use the plethora of Resources, Knowledge & Skill and couple it with technology to advance. 2) The Caribbean, though the Omega to modern civilization post slavery, seems to be forgotten when real wealth is distributed. 3) The Caribbean people are Resilient and Proud, and will rebuild on their own if they must. Lyrics; Dready got a job to do, And he's got to fulfill that mission To see his hurt is their greatest ambition But we will survive in this world of competition, Because no matter what they do Natty keep on coming through And no matter what they say Natty do them every day Natty Dread rides again Through the mystics of tomorrow Natty Dread rides again Have no fear, have no sorrow Bob Marley Ride Natty Ride https://hubs.ly/Q02CWfPw0

November holds a special significance in the #USA as a month dedicated not only to expressing gratitude, but also to honoring and celebrating Native American Heritage. Designated as #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, this period serves as an opportunity to delve into the rich history, diverse cultures, and enduring contributions of #NativeAmerican peoples. In the spirit of recognizing and commemorating Native American Heritage Month, we want to shine a spotlight on Brian McKenna's impactful show, Chiefs. Chiefs is a six-part series from Multicom Entertainment Group, Inc. that intricately explores the lives of the great leaders, #warriors, and diplomats of the #FirstNations, whose stories form a central drama of the North American continent. Combining #documentary elements with dramatic reenactments, the #series vividly brings to life the power, spirit, and mystery of the First Nations while also seeking to separate myth from reality. You can learn more about it below or watch it now at TheArchive.tv here: https://lnkd.in/gq7xizgN As Americans gather around the #Thanksgiving table, it's crucial to recognize that for many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a day of sorrow and activism. The #holiday, commemorating the arrival of settlers in North America and the subsequent centuries of #oppression and #genocide, prompts reflection on a more nuanced history. The myth of #Thanksgiving implies a harmonious gathering between #Native people and pilgrims to celebrate the #Plymouth colony's survival. However, the reality of the "First Thanksgiving" in 1621 is more complex. Native people were not initially invited, and Wampanoag soldiers independently arrived after hearing celebratory gunshots and screams from #pilgrim settlements. #americanindian #thearchive #multicom #streaming #entertainment #november
