Af­ter suc­cess­ful stag­ings in 2024 and 2025, the Pot on Point Com­mu­ni­ty Culi­nary Fes­ti­val will re­turn for this year’s Point Fortin Bor­ough Day Cel­e­bra­tions. It will be held on April 25 at the Gar­den Jew­elz Foun­da­tion in New Vil­lage.

Dur­ing this week, salt in­take needs some at­ten­tion, es­pe­cial­ly for women’s health. Salt is im­por­tant for bod­i­ly func­tions, but con­sum­ing too much can af­fect health long-term. As women, our salt in­take is im­por­tant when it comes to man­ag­ing high blood pres­sure, heart health, hor­mon­al bal­ance and main­tain­ing well­ness at every stage in life.

While most C-sec­tions are per­formed un­der re­gion­al anaes­the­sia (spinal), there are sit­u­a­tions where gen­er­al anaes­the­sia—when you are ful­ly asleep—may be nec­es­sary.

For some women, get­ting from one place to an­oth­er is not just about con­ve­nience, but com­fort and peace of mind. Whether head­ing to work, run­ning er­rands or trav­el­ling late at night, safe­ty can be an un­spo­ken part of the jour­ney.

(Cul­tur­al DMV News, Mary­land, US) In a re­gion known for its cul­tur­al depth, the Caribbean and African Women of Im­pact (CAWI) Hon­ors, held on March 22 in Sil­ver Spring, Mary­land, USA, brought to­geth­er a pow­er­ful cross-sec­tion of voic­es—bridg­ing con­ti­nents, dis­ci­plines, and lived ex­pe­ri­ences in a way that felt both in­ten­tion­al and nec­es­sary.

Jor­dan Al­lis­ter Woods said he has al­ways been fo­cused on health, dis­ci­pline, cre­ativ­i­ty that en­gen­ders bet­ter­ment, pro­duc­tive op­por­tu­ni­ties for young men, and be­ing an ex­em­plar.

At a time when au­di­ences are con­stant­ly scrolling for the next clip or re­play, for­mer school teacher turned ac­tress Avion Crooks took a de­lib­er­ate­ly dif­fer­ent route: one night, one au­di­ence, no dig­i­tal af­ter­life. Her sec­ond stand-up com­e­dy pro­duc­tion, One Night On­ly… is Long Time, lived up to its name—a three-hour im­mer­sion in dis­tinct­ly Trinida­di­an hu­mour that re­ward­ed those present at the Na­pari­ma Bowl on April 9.

Riesa Ram­sa­hai-Herdé’s pas­sion to make a dif­fer­ence was shaped in her ear­ly years, where her late un­cle’s Down Syn­drome high­light­ed her fam­i­ly’s strength and the lim­its of lo­cal sup­port. Schools then fo­cused main­ly on aca­d­e­mics and failed to equip him with the ba­sic skills need­ed to live in­de­pen­dent­ly. He re­mained re­liant on loved ones through­out his life un­til he died in 2021. It was on­ly while trav­el­ling abroad that Riesa saw a dif­fer­ent re­al­i­ty. She wit­nessed peo­ple with Down Syn­drome ac­tive­ly work­ing and con­tribut­ing to so­ci­ety.

Root­ed in a phi­los­o­phy that links so­cial in­vest­ment to na­tion­al progress, the African Women’s As­so­ci­a­tion (AWA) con­tin­ues to ex­pand its foot­print in com­mu­ni­ty de­vel­op­ment with a blend of cul­tur­al ex­pres­sion, en­tre­pre­neur­ship and out­reach.

Tues­day morn­ings at Tiffi­ni’s Re­tiree’s Sewing Club al­ways serve up a healthy dose of laugh­ter, stitch­ing, and ca­ma­raderie. With on­ly four seats avail­able, the at­mos­phere in her Curepe stu­dio is in­ti­mate, en­sur­ing that no one gets lost while mas­ter­ing a bob­bin or a back­stitch. If a stu­dent miss­es a step or for­gets an in­struc­tion, they jok­ing­ly an­nounce they are head­ed to the “naughty cor­ner”, on­ly to have a friend shout that they’ll be join­ing them.
