I have lived almost all my life in Jamaica where I am influenced by a culture that has given reggae to the world. My education is British-oriented, and I also lived four years in the United Kingdom where I renewed my connection to British writers whom I had admired since my schooldays. The impact of my years living in Africa is perhaps the major influence in my co-authoring a book of African  and Africentricproverbs to be published in November of this year.
