Last night Dr Michele Reis held her book signing at Billy Blacks restaurant in Harlem.
With
the help of supporters and Trinidadian friends, Michele was able to
bring together a wonderful group of people from Trinidad and Tobago, as
well as the Caribbean. At 7pm Dr. Reis took to the stage and welcomed
everyone. She went on to describe her journey of triumphs and challenges
to get her book published.
She further explained that with this book she hopes to bring
together Trinidadians and Tobagonians living abroad, to not only meet
each other but most importantly, to form an alliance and help
Trin-bagonians back home to reach their maximum potential.
Michele then invited people who had the pleasure of being published
in her book to speak and share a little about themselves and their
passion. For me, it was easily one if the most inspirational events I've
been part of in a very, very long time.
When the event ended I was excited to introduce myself to my fellow
expats. I saw familiar faces like actress Penelope Spencer and met some
new people like Trinidadian-born Gordon Espinet, Senior Vice President
for Global Training and Development for MAC Cosmetics. What an honor.
Another Person I met was
Ashley Christmas,
a designer and a man on a mission to bring home to Trinidad and Tobago a
clear message. Lead by example and help others help themselves.
Then I was on a roll, I met and chatted with
Designer Donna Dove, Chef Kaisha Cave, Fashion Editor Director Walter Greene and many more.
The evening ended with great food by Billy Blacks, great calypso
music and a lot of excitement for us all as to what the future holds.
Great job Dr. Reis!!
