Introduction

Someone said I should introduce "Team: Save Trinidad". My mind wandered off into a Justice League type photo with all of us decked off in "Soca Warriors" t-shirts. I see that the number of hits are climbing (slowly but they are climbing) so that's positive. So I will introduce the contributors in no particular order... here goes.

* aka_lol

I recruited aka_lol after seeing his comments on Krista-Lee's blog and then seeing his blog. I liked his style of writing and I asked him if he would be interested in writing here. I can't tell you much about him as a person but I can tell you he handles http://www.mayarobeach.com/ which is actually quite nice.

* firemanboyzie

That's me. I started this blog because of the sentiments of a close friend or as one of my friends put it "I sure he doing it for some girl". I treasure my friends -- they know me well. My vision? I want someday for 1.3M Trini citizens to be blogging here strong -- I want to hear them on the radios, the televisions, the telephones and in the streets. I think that may never happen, thanks to cable TV.

* Jahari Gamba

Our youngest member. Jahari is a very black conscious youth man and that is admirable in these times. He hasn't posted yet because of exams but i suspect he will soon so stay tuned.

* Krista-Lee Bissoon

I recruited Krista-Lee via her blog -- which was quite amusing and entertaining. She's a masters student and I thought she would give us an interesting perspective on things. She too hasn't posted because of finals, but I hope that she will find some time soon.

* crazee mudderasss

crazee mudderasss is a fellow member of the band Solaris. I won't disclose any more personal information because I am not sure that with a name like crazee mudderasss he would want all his information given out on the WWW. He's only posted once and since then his network admin has blocked blogger.com as there is pornos and that sort of stuff in the blogosphere.

* Valarauka

Valarauka is also a fellow member of the band Solaris. He brings a very interesting perspective to crime and social issues as an Economist. What scares me the most is that I agree with most of what he says.

* Kahaya

Kahaya is a long time friend. She studies law in Barbados so I am hoping she brings some interesting points to us. I suspect she has done a lot of reading and from our discussion we had on Marxism a long time ago I know she is a good writer. We should be hearing some more from her soon.

Taran (www.knowprose.com) doesn't blog here but I continue to link whatever posts in his blog I see as being relevant. That makes him our invisible contributor.


If you would like to contribute, feel free to add a comment here. If you just want to put a one time article, get in contact with me and I will post it on your behalf. Trinidad is all of ours to save -- so I won't deny anyone a voice here.

peace and love
Kwesi.
