“Women have always had to be #creative about making limited resources work to sustain themselves and their families. They understand what it means to make the hard decisions and to just get on with it.
That is why it is imperative for women not just to be the ones dusting off the table but, crafting its legs for our world to stand on.”

“Discovering Distilled Creativity
"Amazing how sitting down to listen with no distractions - no tv, no devices, no radio - can enhance your life; the sigh of the wind the only ambient noise. Then, in that still moment, your distilled creativity comes because you feel so connected to the Universe.”

“For me, a father supplies sperm and his part of the chromosomes necessary for life. But a dad? He gives of his time & wisdom while nurturing forever memories and life lessons with his heart.”

“I believe a writer is...the scribe-griot of his/her nation. S/he has the power to incite, ignite, excite, pacify, edify, motivate and eliminate others with the slash of a pen, click of a mouse or swipe of a finger. Though coloured by time, class, age, geography, childhood and other factors, a writer crystallises a slice of his/her society's culture, mores and its dark and light truths. A writer makes everything real.”

“What are we to do in this time? How do we function? How do we not completely lose it?
I choose to use my #pen
to cut open my shell
to release the pus
of pain and trauma
and loss
mixed with
sludge-like #ash.”

“She rises-
hips rippling
to a silent merengue
bearing sloshing vessels homeward,
a little water breaking the relief
of dust on her feet-
reflecting
how women seem
to grip the secret
of wringing
the blue cloth of sorrow
dry to make wine.
-Excerpt from Sandra Sealy's poem "Haitian Water Bearer" in "Chronicles Of A Seawoman: A Collection Of Poems”

“I'd tell anyone who wants to be a podcaster, the same thing others have recommended - find a niche you're passionate about and willing to be immersed in.”
