Commissioned for the Women’s Voice and Leadership Caribbean Project to announce their grantee partners. Published in September 2020 by Equality Fund Canada.
Extract:
Whispers in a crowded room; that’s what comes to my mind when I think of the voices of women, LGBTQ+ people, and other marginalised communities in the Caribbean. When I think of the reality of living in this region, I think of the needs of vulnerable communities going unmet, the cries of sexual assault and domestic violence victims being ignored, sexual and reproductive rights and agency being brushed aside, and the recognition of sexuality and personhood being outrightly denied. However, for as long as the inequalities have persisted, the whispers and hushed tones of these voices in the crowd have been growing into boisterous shouts for change.

Featured as a Changemaker on the World Intellectual Property Office Changemaker Gallery for Intellectual Property Day.
Quote:
“As a person working at the intersections of Law and Gender Development, Women’s social and economic empowerment is a core part of the mandate that drives that work. Intellectual Property Rights allow for their owners to benefit from their creativity and knowledge. Women are thinkers, innovators, creators, entrepreneurs and when their intellectual property rights are protected, they can benefit financially from their creativity, and it is an incentive for them to continue to dream of more for the world around them. When Women are actively encouraged to take ownership of their ideas, they are empowered as leaders and changemakers”
