Throwback to one of my proudest moments and a quiet reminder of the caliber of excellence

When my brother was installed as President of the Jamaica Institution of Engineers, I stood beside him as family, yes, but also as someone who deeply understands what it takes to rise.

Leadership isn’t accidental. It’s forged in discipline, integrity, long nights, and unwavering commitment to a vision greater than yourself. I’ve watched him live that truth for years.

Moments like this are more than sentimental. They're defining. Because when someone you love ascends, it affirms everything you believe in: that excellence matters. That legacy matters. That quiet service and mastery eventually speak louder than hype.

And let’s be honest, not everyone gets to stand in rooms like this.
Not everyone understands what it *costs* to earn respect, not just attention.
Not everyone holds the kind of space that draws powerfully capable people toward lasting transformation.

But I do.
And he does.
We come from people who build systems, stories, futures, bridges.

I'm honored to walk beside leaders. To help them rise without apology. And to witness those I love step fully into the spotlight they’ve earned.

Here’s to those who lead not for applause, but for impact.
And here’s to those of us who were born for rooms like this.

The Sacred Spine of Our Stories: Architecture and the Soul

There are buildings that shelter us—and then, there are buildings that shape us.

Architecture is not merely the arrangement of stone and timber; it is the memory of human hands, the whisper of intention, the quiet echo of spirit. The spaces we build become the outer casing of our inner longings. They hold our grief, our wonder, our prayers, and our becoming. And sometimes—if we are lucky—they become living testaments to what the soul can create when guided by reverence.

Such is the case with the **Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Paramaribo, Suriname**—a marvel of devotion carved almost entirely out of wood, held together not by nails or metal, but by the ancient artistry of joinery and faith. Constructed in the early 20th century and recently restored, it is now the **largest wooden cathedral in the Western Hemisphere**—a soul in timber, a song in silence.

To walk inside it is to feel the sacredness of craftsmanship. The scent of wood, the echo of footsteps on hand-laid floors, the lift of your eyes toward soaring arches—all remind you that spirit can live in structure, and that we are not so separate from what we build.

This cathedral, assembled without a single metal nail, reminds us of something essential in our own healing and becoming: that the strongest things in life are not always held together by force, but by care, patience, and precision. That restoration is possible—after decay, after silence, after years of being forgotten.

Like this cathedral, our souls, too, sometimes fall into disrepair. And like this cathedral, we are not beyond restoration.

We return to sacred architecture not just to marvel at what was built—but to remember what we ourselves can become. Strong without harshness. Grand without ego. Rooted in the Earth, but always reaching for the sky.

I found an old photo buried deep on my computer.

Two bright yellow chairs, sitting in the far corner of a weathered courtyard.
Surrounded by cracked stone, creeping moss, and shadows where time had settled in.

They were too bright for that space.
Too cheerful. Too bold.
Someone must’ve said, “They’ll fade.”

But they didn’t.

And something about that image broke something open in me.

Because I know what it’s like to feel too much in places that don’t know how to hold you.
Too loud. Too honest. Too sensitive. Too ambitious.
Too you.

But those chairs reminded me that I, that

You don’t have to dim just because the world has gone gray.
You don’t have to match the ruins to belong in the room.
And you definitely don’t have to fade just because someone told you to.

Some things survive brightness.
Some things refuse to be erased.
Maybe you’re one of them.

🟡💛
If this speaks to you, tell me in the comments:
What have you held onto, even when life tried to dim it?
