The in­ter­est­ing thing about the sea­soned pho­tog­ra­ph­er is that he re­al­ly doesn’t set out to cap­ture any one par­tic­u­lar thing. He lets the art guide him, and he sees it every­where.

For decades, the name Na­pari­ma Girls’ High School (NGHS) has been syn­ony­mous with more than just aca­d­e­m­ic pres­tige. In many house­holds across T&T and the di­as­po­ra, the school is rep­re­sent­ed by its icon­ic cook­book.

A re­cent­ly es­tab­lished, re­gion­al­ly based, in­ter­na­tion­al net­work is ad­vo­cat­ing for more ur­gent of­fi­cial ac­tion to ad­dress the per­va­sive life-al­ter­ing in­ci­dence of en­dometrio­sis (en­do) in the Caribbean.

Break­fast is said to be the most im­por­tant meal of the day, but do we eat break­fast dai­ly? Un­for­tu­nate­ly, it is of­ten re­gard­ed as the most for­got­ten meal of the day. Women usu­al­ly skip this meal be­cause of busy sched­ules, work de­mands or even the be­lief that it helps with weight loss. Eat­ing bal­anced meals, specif­i­cal­ly break­fast, can im­prove women’s health, en­er­gy lev­el and long-term well­ness, but it de­pends on what we feed our bod­ies.
