Attn: Ms. Rihanna Fenty

My name is Ryan Brathwaite and I am a Gold Medallist from Barbados (110 metres hurdles 2009 World Championships).

I have a question related to developing a support mechanism for talented Barbadians that I hope might be of interest to you.

I am starting an NGO called Outside the Winners Circle whose focus is to provide support to local talent, young (and not so young) bajan men and women  who currently depend on government support which is, as you may know, not at an optimal level. 

This initiative would focus on things like athletic scholarships,  support for talented artistes, or indigenous initiatives in need of financial/technical support I propose to build a virtual mechanism to support these resource-needy applicants, persons who are already “tried and tested” and are already “in the business” but fall just short of that “tipping point” and success.

I propose to create a Portal at www.outsidethewinnerscircle.com to manage the enrolment and critical facilitations for our best (and while I am an athlete our portal will reach out to our best)  and, with your support, I plan to demo that system via an online encounter with you (wherever you are in the world) on 30th November, from here in Barbados.

I know that you have a lot of experience in “what the local talent and performer sector needs, and currently lacks” and I am wondering if you would be interested in supporting this initiative.

I am promoting a virtual gateway for young people seeking investment, irrespective of the initiatives with a view to generating jobs for new breed entrepreneurs.

Do you think I should be focusing on a self sustaining web infrastructure or a business development/promotion option? 

What do you think of us doing a limited pilot (which would be a combination of both elements mentioned above) and then, given the buy-in, decide to focus on promoting the web portal model or the dedicated business financial support aspect?

In summary the portal would assist people like me, who might have “finite windows of opportunity”, but may have slipped out of “the Winner’s Circle”, not because they (we) dropped out, but because they (we) did not have the additional resources needed.

I’d love to know your thoughts Miss Fenty.

As a separate matter, I was also wondering if you’re seeing any possibility for you to promote a Second Tier Performer circuit which would bring lesser known performers to Barbados as your “guests” and create a following using such an activity to promote tourism and expose our local performers. I believe that many local hoteliers would support that program via discounts etc. 

It would be leveraging your name for what could be called The Rihanna Get Together. Do you think there is some currency there? It’s a bit hard to assess if that idea can work and if you could would assist it but, it might be a way to help Barbados if say you got Port Ferdinand and a few other hotels to band together with this.

Miss Fenty, thanks for reading this….you’re probably up to your eyeballs with the Rihanna vs. Beyonce Concert in addition to your World Tours at the moment. 

Continued success with your career I remain one of the many Barbadians who have so much pride and joy in your success and ongoing achievements

Best Regards

    @ enuff & Piece

    Look men!!
    Both wunna suggestions are misguided.

    enuff’s idea of using TCP regulations to get rich folks to give concessions to the poor when they get permissions to make their multi-million dollar projects is mendicant, childish, subservient, brass bowlery.
    It is based on the concept of inferior morons waiting in the yard for scraps and bones.
    EVERYONE with any common sense KNOWS that the rich folks simply make the stipulated donations, INCREASE the prices of their products to the SAME poor mendicants (or extract funds from the NIS) and the situation actually gets even worse.

    In any case, what kind of real MAN – after 60 years of free education, freedom, and political empowerment, has a mirror image based on handouts from the likes of COW?
    Steupsssss!!

    @ Piece
    Why the Hell does it make sense to create a NEW mechanism to achieve a SIMPLE objective that we ALREADY spend hundreds of millions of dollars EACH YEAR to achieve – but fail to achieve because there are ass holes in charge of this process (and money)???

    Our Education SYSTEM is intended to identify, nurture, promote and celebrate bright national stars like Brathwaite, Rihanna, Ping Pong etc…
    Our National Sports Council is intended to focus on our SPORTS talents and to refine THOSE talents.
    The damn BOA is intended to support the top high level stars on the global level.
    ….NONE of these brass bowl clown organisations perform satisfactorily … NONE.

    As a result, we have Sukie washing cars, Oba estranged to Barbados, Brathwaite begging COW like a parro, and other talents continually frustrated and disappointed. Bajan sport is among the worst in the region, YET we have the longest serving officials…

    The ONLY people who benefit from these institutions are jackasses like Jones – now with his big job in a medical school; the BOA big-wigs who spend their millions flying the world living hobby class; and the sports council people with cushy lifetime jobs doing dilly squat.

    Rather than fix our multi-million dollar failed systems, you somehow think that it is smart to come up with yet another smart aleck scheme – that will likely end up just like the other shiite schemes that we already have….
    This is the SAME SHIITE THAT ARTHUR DID WITH PUBLIC SECTOR REFORM, PRODUCTIVITY, ….and the same shiite with RESLIFE now….after CLICO.

    Do you know that Rihanna is successful BECAUSE a brass bowl Bajan is NOT running her affairs?
    Who will run your fancy scheme …Jayzee? …or will you do like government and give it to baloney, bizzy or COW?

    The challenge is to fix Education, the Sports Council, the BOA, and the Arts and Sports Fund.
    If we have no competent people to do these jobs then let us go with enuff …and beg like dogs,
    …. but shiite man – no more brass bowl mock schemes….

    “enuff’s idea of using TCP regulations to get rich folks to give concessions to the poor when they get permissions to make their multi-million dollar projects is mendicant, childish, subservient, brass bowlery.”

    I have never read so much shite from Enuff in all my time on BU.., his lustful dependency on crooked minorities who rip of the treasury, pension fund and bribe governments at will is frightening. …and he actually want to wish that slaveminded dumb idea on the black popukstion whike sending messages to the biggest thief in the island’s 52 year facade of an independence,.

    Let me break it down for Enuff…Cow et al steals from YOUR people with the help of YOUR governments.., that is their only huge source of income…, why would you want to beg, bow and scrape to them to get back a portion of YOUR money, YOUR land….Instead of locking them to hell up and taking back….what they STOLE FROM YOUR PEOPLE….which end of the donkey did your drop out from.

    Besides. ..while Enuff is busy bending over and assuming the position to beg Cow for what he stole from Bajans, it is being said that Cow sees that the end is near because he is not as blind as Enuff and is busy trying to offload Apes Hill….of course to some wealthy, white foreign buyer…being hearing about it fir weeks now, from more than one source.

    If true, let’s hope the Mia government is on top of this to get back all those millions stolen from NIS through fraudulent means…for the Apes Hill scam.

    We see how foolish and self destructive black people can be when they do not know that they do not know.

    @ Brother in Arms Bush Tea

    You said and I quote “…Why the Hell does it make sense to create a NEW mechanism to achieve a SIMPLE objective that we ALREADY spend hundreds of millions of dollars EACH YEAR to achieve – but fail to achieve because there are ass holes in charge of this process (and money)???”

    My Brother, I studied this thing looooooong and hard about precisely that last point that you made.

    “…but fail to achieve because there are ass holes in charge of this process (and money)???”…)

    The fact Bush Tea IS THAT @ 2018 THESE CLOWNS ARE NOT IN THAT MINDSPACE WHERE one can “fix Education, the Sports Council, the BOA, and the Arts and Sports Fund…”

    That cannot happen in 150 days Bush Tea.

    You think that de ole man spent over 763 days running a “Not one RH Seat campaign” while sucking one thumb in my mouth and the other one up my rear end?

    Homie DOES NOT PLAY THAT.

    That organization that I plotted for you CAN BE STARTED TODAY and it would deliver in the timeline stated BECAUSE IT IS NOT CRAFTED BY INCOMPETENTS Bush Tea

    I cursed in this submission and I try not intermingle The Source with my bad language, I try.

    But the idea cannot fail!!

    Let me see if i can help you with this concept and while I dun know that the rest of them are looking and grafting the idea, they DO NOT HAVE ITS ELEMENTS SO what the facsimiles that they will create WILL FAIL.

    CROSSPOLLINATION.

    “…noun. (i) Botany. the transfer of pollen from the flower of one plant to the flower of a plant having a different genetic constitution.Compare self-pollination. (2) a sharing or interchange of knowledge, ideas, etc., as for mutual enrichment; cross-fertilization.

    Periodically you share the concept of cooperatives and black people working together and how the credit union should operate and what to many seems like lofty ideas.

    But for de ole man, what you are saying is real.

    thirty nuff years ago i met *** while i was in *** and she introduced me to Kibbutz

    “…A kibbutz is a collective community in Israel that was traditionally based on agriculture. The first kibbutz, established in 1909, was Degania. Today, farming has been partly supplanted by other economic branches, including industrial plants and high-tech enterprises. Kibbutzim began as utopian communities, a combination of socialism and Zionism. In recent decades, some kibbutzim have been privatized and changes have been made in the communal lifestyle…”

    I was fascinated by it for 2 reasons, firstly because I could not understand why *** left me (yes in my youth I fancied myself quite a catch) and then I wanted to know what could drive her to **** (that is complicated) but suffice it to say she went back to Israel and remained there.

    But I digress.

    It is NOT THE NATURAL DISPOSITION OF BAJANS TO create nor participate in cooperatives.

    It is not the natural disposition of Bajans to share in anything, that has been our conditioning, but what I have been shown Bush Tea creates that organic kibbutzim EVEN THOUGH IT IS USUALLY OPPOSED and effects your cooperative concept.

    As usual one cannot share the innards of the concept but suffice it to say AND I AM GENERALLY A MAN OF MY WORD, the practicuum will work

    If you are seeking to bring a ‘solution’ that can only be successful with your special inputs, then you are wasting your time ..and Bushie’s.
    Social solutions MUST involve culture change, and as a direct consequence, CANNOT ‘DELIVER TODAY’ as you propose. Yours would only be a plaster.

    You are so much on the wrong track that it is almost funny Piece….

    What ails us have nothing to do with talent, resources or even ideas.
    Do you not think that Bushie can singlehandedly put a program in place today?? – even without Rihanna’s help?
    But THAT DOES NOT SOLVE THE REAL (and root) problem boss… trust the bushman.

    What we need is a revival of human dignity, self-value and community spirit…..
    What we need is LOVE…
    Do you have any idea of how that can be achieved?

    Is this a good idea given the current state of play ?

    “Barbados needs to pick up new business in the area of international business and financial services.”

    This view was expressed by Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley after the Barbados International Business Association’s (BIBA) Task Force, led by Chairman Ben Arrindell, presented a report to the Government of Barbados.”

    @ The Honourable Blogmaster

    I dont know the backstory for Jack Boreman.

    I do know that he is an intelligent man or rather he is not the standard Bajan person who walks around Barbados and sucks badword.

    I am not able to assess if he wants to return to BU or if what happened was so egregious that he feels that such is not permissible.

    I know that I have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of GOD but I tend to put most things through that lens and try to forgive (I cant get the forget part done as yet as may be evidenced by my revisiting certain issues)

    That he comes here with this type of frequency shows a persistence that is admirable to be truthful.

    That man is worse than me and de grandson with that 763 day campaign.

    And he is intelligent too, I said that already.

    What I would do is to write to him offline and say that BU is prepared to let bygones be bygones (IF SUCH IS POSSIBLE) and invite him back to the fold.

    I would even make that a special blog, I dont know I am not aware of the history but that is my assessment from what I see of the way that he can manage a topic and be analytical even in between all of the other comments.

    But then again you are talking to a man who is locked on like a sidewinder to a heat signature

    BU is a blog for thinkers and people who want to learn and and to converse and take a licking sometimes (NOT LIKE AC heheheheheh)

    THis llittle island has a major problem and it needs minds that are not afraid to say no when all the rest are saying yes AND TO EXPLAIN WHY, but you got to remember that the aluminum over my head will cause these sorts of moments heheheheheheh

    @ Brother in Arms Bush Tea

    Nowhere in any one of my representations have I proposed that de ole man be central to any of these initiatives

    On the contrary “The Eyes on Diversification (EOD) which is one of the CONFIDENTIAL ELEMENT is a specific program comprised of a series of actions which solicit the active involvement of the Barbadian Diaspora overseas…”

    “This programme which will be orchestrated from The Office of the Prime Minister, is an initiative, which will include, but not be limited to, transmitting a personal invitation, via varied media (letter, email and (VOIP) phone calls), to several thousand of the most prominent and successful Bajans domiciled in countries throughout the world…”

    As I have said multiple times I seek to enforce the cooperative concept WITH ALL MY SUGGESTIONS and while I am not the Christ and cannot make one man LOVE his brother man I can create synergies which require that he depends on and respects said brother.

    I continued by saying “Targeting such personages will be effected through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Barbados’ embassies/consulates which feeds right into WARU’s? suggestions about using teleconferencing at the embassies as opposed to flying all over the place FIRST CLASS like the former CEO at CEDA using up beneficiaries ADVANTAGE MILES

    What that concept proposes is a outreach to critically positioned “satellites” or people (to coin the Late EWB’s word) who will leverage the diverse links and relationships they have cultivated over the years in their respective areas of endeavor.

    Each target’s “relationships” will be catalogued and mined. Mining is defined as the detailed process of converting passive data assets to active initiatives…”

    Right now the “Outside the Winner’s Circle” Serious Poster is at 3,000 downloads and what that should suggest is that that concept that took the grandson a few hours to create/CONDENSE IS OF SOME INTEREST TO SOME 3,000 people!!

    I would be a real fool to come here and broadcast the innards of a concept that can be replicated anywhere that there is a serious government that wishes to advance its tourism & knowledge Economy products.

    One day de ole man going demit this earth but what will remain is a PPP that will continue to generate FOREX for Barbados.
