We are so proud of you at 23 last year - being the ONLY Caribean Indigenous representative at the 56th Session of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBTA) & the 7th Session of the Facilitating Working Group of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP) that took place in Bonn, Germany (June 1-16th), and at several United Nations side events in Bonn Germany, as the Representative of the Caribbean Amerindian Development Organization/CADO (now the largest regional indigenous NGO) where you were often invited to sit at the head table and speak also, at the Youth and Environment Europe side event on climate change and making climate change something mentioned by the Supreme Court of justice and influencing governments to make sure that humans are mentioned in climate change efforts.
You are the youngest female graduate of the Tribal Link Foundation - Project Access Global Capacity Building Program for Indigenous Peoples at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues/UNPFII (2017-2018), and an Alternate Board member (the youngest) for the Eagle Clan Lokono-Arawaks at the United Confederation of Taino People/UCTP.
The Bonn event was the first time in history that the United Nations Voluntary Fund has brought Indigenous Persons to the Climate Change Conference.
As your dad, I thank you for following in my footsteps and entering the International Indigenous Rights Arena with a bang - and not a whimper, when you represented the Clan and all Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean.
Every parent likes to see that at least one of their children is following in their footsteps in life, and this was your second International representation, the first - was in Guatemala a few months earlier in 2022, for the International Indian Treaty Council.
You even made your first debut on the International scene as an autodidact Indigenous Rights Journalist (like your dad lol) in a MAJOR not minor way - when your first article was featured in Cultural Survival Magazine, accessible for all to read via the link below:
This was your first article in Cultural Survival when you were 22 in 2021:

Then you had your SECOND article also featured there as well in 2022:

Additionally, the article you submitted to the UN, which was an analysis, call to action and combating strategies for climate change in the Caribbean region which they said also fits with the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism
