“I was once mistakenly beaten and arrested by police when trying to protect students at a UWI Cave Hill student protest. But I refused to leave my students. It is my belief that as Caribbean people, we do not always have to follow. We can lead, be original, pioneering and the best in the world in what we do. I want to encourage us to think big and believe in ourselves.”
