The Sun has set on Belize’s Election Cycle and the dawn of the People’s United Party persists as they manage the mandate Belizean people have given them at both the general and municipal elections. In Episode 7 I share with you some truncated thoughts on what all this means as we traverse the turbulent waters of economic seas. It’s kinda like the waves you see beyond the reef or in countries that don’t have a reef. Rough Waters that pet!

Enjoy this short one before we get back on track!

In the second episode of Tun Up the Ting, I talk to Nello Player who has been on the music scene professionally since 2002!

He is definitely an all-time favourite and you'll get to hear how we met and well a bit more about the man behind the music. I close the podcast with some words from the one and only, Bob Marley!

You can find him everywhere @nelloplayer!

Quick Ep.

Intentional Ep.

Emotional Ep.

We gotta do better mein. 

Really and truly we just wah equal opportunity fu go da school, fu get the access to jobs we studied for and to give back to the land of our birth that more often than not celebrates a win it played little part in achieving. We all win...when we all get equal access to opportunities.

See ya'll soon.

We're launching a new series, one dedicated to one of my favourite collectives, our artists! It's called 'Tun Up Di Ting' and its where we get to find out a bit more about the people behind the written, audio and visual art we love so much!

To open this series, I invited Constantine Enriquez from Hip Hop Bze to chat a bit about the Music Industry in Belize. Do we even have one? Where are we and what do we need to do to advance this sector of the creative industry? Waggy and I tackle it head-on and we're 100% sure that this won't be our final talk about the space. Find out what up and coming artist I am currently binging on! 

I close the podcast with a snippet one of my favourite interviews by Chronixx. The interview was done by Colors alongside Maverick Sabre when they were releasing their collab on the song 'Her Grace.' Find that song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b-5N7B7qWI&feature=share

Done in honour of Et Dan and Mr. Program. Fly High!

Belize is touted as a tranquil nation but quite often raging under that flourishing shade is deep-seated racism, residual of colonialism.

I wanted to talk about it just as a little introduction as this will be a recurring theme throughout the life of this podcast. I brought some friends along too! Rolando Caballero, an International Relations Student at University of the West Indies Mona; Musa Ash Abdul Shaeed, cultural activist and youth artist ambassador to CARIFESTA and Bryton Codd, athlete and co-founder of BK Sports; they all join on to share comments about their experience of living in a country that largely rejects its racist thread as a figment of the imagination and navigating a world a cross-road with imperialism.

I also included a clip of a Belizean mind that is I think one of our treasures in the decolonization project. I listen to this clip quite often as a reminder of the bigger picture, a reinforcement of my 'why.' Make sure you listen to the end to be inspired and called to action!

Prosperous 2020+1!

In this episode, I wanted to do a review of 2020 but with the focus of organic people movements, protests! I explored the massive movements internationally and domestically explaining why advocacy and activism are important. Yes organizing and participating in them but more so making sure it's apart of our constructed and lived narrative of resistance.

I spoke about what I believe was one of the most important showings of people power in Belize's modern history: The 2020 Protest of the Stevedores.
