Our conversation continues with Mr. Benito Wheatley, as he reflects on his grandfather, Dr. Hon. Willard Wheatley, past chief minister of the BVI and impact on his life.  We discuss how he dealt with one of the most horrific events in the BVI in 2017, the direct impact of Cat 5 hurricane Irma and his role as the sole voice to the world.  Benito then gives a reflection on Hon. Ralph T. O'neal, the longest serving politician in BVI's history serving almost 40 yrs.

I interviewed Mr. Benito Wheatley, Policy Fellow at the University of Cambridge’s Centre for Science and Policy. Benito Wheatley is Special Envoy of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) Government and the Premier’s Advisor on International Relations, with a particular focus on the United Kingdom (UK), European Union (EU) and United Nations (UN).

We sat down in the virtual studios for Part 1 of this episode where we talked about keeping BVI Historical Milestones Alive namely the 70th Anniversary of the Great March of November 24th. Also discussed was the 40th Anniversary celebration last year of the End of Grant-In-Aid.
