There is nothing nobler working honestly for our People, as servant leaders. Happiness can also be found in service.

Yesterday was a very Historic day in the political life of our Nation.
Regardless of what the PUDP machinery used to get our people to vote yes;
it was at the end of the day the choice of our people and it must be respected.
I made no secret of my preference for a No vote; because no matter what anyone says,
we all have a right to think for ourselves and make a choice. I voted No in the interest of our safety and our combined future.
As Belizeans prepare to walk into an illegal and constitutionally forced Referendum, I cannot help but to worry.
I worry because many of our people are blinded by political parties and affiliations; I worry because while may blindly believe in the very people that have them struggling and unable to attain a better quality of life… The rest of us are also at high risk.
What is happening to Belize is not new under the sun. The claim, the corruption, the crime, the stagnant economy… It has all happened around the world and it continues to happen.
Though my position of a No vote has been no secret; I have been a little more reserved on the ICJ topic than most people…

I have written and spoken a lot on the participation of women in key decision-making processes for our Country. One of those key elements that I have not really touched on before, is that of peace keeping, military preparedness and security … this is a goal in itself. Their contributions to preventing, managing and resolving conflict; is not just important, it is urgent, and it is essential to a developing nation. A military strategic plan on women, is one of my political priorities. This will put us in a better position to enhance women’s influence and participation and strengthen the image of our Belizean Women, aswell as our Military . It provides a platform to ensure that the contributions of our Women be taken into serious consideration as it relates to our security forces and safety of our Nation.
When asked what political party one belongs to, a few years ago most people said PUP or UDP; some even said “Blue till a dead” or “red till a dead”.
Today, however, a growing group of voters (both young and old) are now answering that question with the response, “none of the above.” Or “I don’t believe in Party Politics”.
