Last night I had the opportunity to speak in front of the Prime Minister of The Bahamas for the first time at the Agrarian Awards, a national celebration honoring the hardworking farmers who keep our nation fed and moving toward food security.
I had the honor of presenting the Backyard Farmer of the Year (People’s Choice) award, a social media based award that allowed the Bahamian people to choose the farmer they felt best represented the spirit of community, consistency, and growth in agriculture. The winner of the category was 7-year-old Chosen Darville, a young farmer already inspiring others with his dedication and love for agriculture.
This moment meant even more because I was part of the planning committee for the event and helped produce a mini documentary alongside
@1var.l and
@itsleahanise , highlighting the stories and impact of our farmers.
A huge thank you to Minister of Agriculture and Marine Resources, Hon.
@jomoccampbell , and the
@moamrbahamas team for trusting me with this opportunity, and to Kendea Smith
@kendeakommunicates , Chairwoman of the Agrarian Awards Board, for her leadership and the opportunity to be part of this incredible event.
A huge congratulations to Forester Bowe, Emerald Pioneer Awardee, Pericles Maillis, Lifetime Achievement Award Winner,
@abaconeemfarm for Commercial Farm of the Year, and Ceon Newbold, Youth Farmer of the Year. I learned so much and I’m grateful for the opportunity to produce content with and for our nation’s agricultural sector. Farmers are truly amazing people who are always sharing value, knowledge, and kindness.
I also had the privilege of meeting
@aishabowe , the first person of Bahamian heritage to reach space, a true inspiration for dreamers and doers across our islands.
Take time to celebrate your wins, big or small, and never overlook the doors that open along your journey. Every opportunity is proof that your hard work is being seen. 🙏🏽
