TOGETHER? EASY?

What? It was lost?
Here we were a week after our 5th year anniversary
and his wonderful milestone fun-packed
birthday celebration week.
How could he be telling me that he had lost
his wedding ring somewhere in this week’s
festivities?
I was so angry at him.
Mad, in fact.
How and when was it lost or misplaced? Maybe when
he took it off on Tuesday to work on the truck and make
sandwiches and salads? Maybe it was later that day
when he had to wash the truck and had to get underneath
to replace the propane. I was angry! I was hurt! And he
was going to know it.

Photo: freepik.es
Now intellectually I knew a band doesn’t a
marriage make but it was sentimentally and
spiritually important to me. To us. This was a big
deal. These rings had been exchanged in love
as we were wed. They had been prayed over,
blessed and presented on that beautiful ceremonial
day we had just watched by video the week
before on our anniversary morning.
I didn’t speak to him without ice in my voice for
2 days.
I was no longer going to wear mine.
Let him see how that felt.
Yes, he tried to connect with me, just smooth things
over and move on but I couldn’t. I needed some time
with this milieu of female thoughts and imaginations
running through my head. On day two, I didn’t even want
to be around him. I wanted him to sleep in the doghouse,
except we don’t have a house. Nor a dog. And we
live in New York City. A homeless guy is the usual here.
This time was well spent and utilized for me to come
back to my full senses. After forty-eight hours of thinking
about it all, in between all the things I had to and
needed to do, after forty eight hours of being in my
feelings, owning them and dissecting them, along
with two sister girlfriend conversations, with better
sense and some clarity I spoke to him about it all.

I realized I had been afraid.
I was afraid of what people would say. For those gossips and
nosy people who had seen him with a ring and now wouldn’t.
As a single woman, in today’s society that’s what I typically had
used to determine if a man was married given most men’s dubious
behaviors today, so now how would other women be able
to know he was taken? Even though he, like most of my male
friends seem to say that a man with a wedding band somehow
seemed to attract more of some women’s attention. What
a thing huh? But that’s another conversation for another time.
During that time there was so much I thought and over-thought.
Did he lose it accidentally, or on purpose?
If so, my imagination running wild asked, what
does that mean?
Photo: pixbay.com
What did this all mean about us?
About him? About me?
As we took some time to talk about it, I expressed that
I was angry, disappointed, hurt and afraid. He apologized.
I spoke to how important the rings and us wearing
them were to me. What it had meant at the beginning
of our lives together when he had brought me such
a beautiful engagement ring. One that I knew he had
invested a lot to purchase, and just in the style that he
knew I liked. And I had done the same with him.
He listened.
But then my usually non-talkative husband also shared
how that was so different for him and how although
he was sorry and respected the intensity of its
meaning to me, he felt that it was an object of that symbolism,
not the source or object of the emotions or the
strength of our marriage. He could not say that it shared
the same weight for him but that he had adorned it and
worn it mainly for me. And with or without it, he was the
same man and husband. And I was his same wife.
Yes, he certainly felt bad about the loss but in an uncomfortable
honesty that I didn’t really like hearing it, I had to
listen to his point of view, trying to do so without judgment.
He acknowledged my feelings. I thanked him for
apologizing. He made me know again that not wearing a
ring did not change his integrity, his love, his respect, his
honor of me or our marriage. Yes, he apologized yet another
time wanting the conversation over and everything
forgotten. Not so fast.
I let him know that no matter what he said or would say,
it didn’t control how I felt about the situation immediately.
The rest of my feelings about it were mine to manage,
not his to fix or take away. He appreciated that release of
responsibility. And then we moved on. Warmer and with
much better understanding, with more love and more
respect.

RELATIONSHIP
In this one more lesson of life and marriage here are
at least three things I learned or was reminded of
that I share with you for your consideration:
1. Feelings are real.
But they are only feelings. Temporary. Feelings, no matter how
intensely we feel them are not facts. Just responses to statements
or realities. We each have our own responsibility for our own emotions.
No one makes us do or feel anything. They don’t have that
much power.
2. Love unconditionally as our Father loves us.
For those days although I love my husband, I didn’t like how the
result of the loss, or in my opinion, his carelessness caused me
to feel. I didn’t like him or the situation but I still loved him. In the
same way, not having a ring hadn’t caused him to love me nor not
having or wearing one, wouldn’t cause him to stop either. So I love
him unconditionally as my brother in Christ, even if I don’t always
like him for the moment as my mate or I am mad at him as my
friend.
3. Don’t put any earthly relationship, or object, before each
other.
Yes, intellectually I did know that the ring is only a symbolism,
albeit an important one, but was I prepared to put all stakes in it?
Was I prepared to put the symbol before the essence? This second
point was one of the first, and perhaps best advice, I received at
our engagement. Don’t put anything or anyone before each other.
If I had that person or that thing, and not him, would my life be better
or worse? Would I be happier or not? Which one mattered more
to me? Which would I not want to live without? When I pay attention
to this, of course he and our happiness together always win.
So there is a ring to be replaced but now with a
different meaning and a different symbolism of
our growth together after five years of marriage,
as well as five years of each of us growing up
individually too. I have always said that in a relationship,
besides God, there are three people,
both human beings, and the “being” that is the
relationship. It too grows not only with time but
with the experiences and lessons learned.

In full acceptance of accountability for
the loss, he will replace it, I will get to select
it. Who knows? Maybe a tattoo would
be a better choice for a chef who has to
wear these thin, tight, powdered gloves
often. But, I’m keeping both mine. I love
my rings and what they both still mean
to me. Maybe one day I’ll share the story
and lessons I learned when my jeweler
and I both lost two of my wedding ring
diamond stones. Twice.

PANAMA IS ALSO CARIBBEAN *
BY: DR. ALBERTO S. BARROW N.
Photo: pixbay.com
“Panama is a country that confused me. People are so different
from city to city, and even within the same cities, that I seemed
to be constantly changing country. My time in Panama went
faster than in the other countries. The 15 days I spent were not
enough to know all the regions of the country, but enough to get
an idea of the wide range of cultures that coexist in the place”.
That is the description offered by a traveler, after a recent visit to
Panama. A very simple description. But one which suggests the
complexity regarding the character and nature of my country,
seen from the human groups that form part of it. This could lead
one to suppose or at least suspect, that Panamanian society
could be defined as a great crucible, a cultural mosaic.
Well yes, indeed
Some people still do not know it, but there were many nationalities
that converged to our Isthmus, by virtue of the emigration of
their men and women who came to participate in the construction
of the Panama Canal, a historic event that would shape our
face as a nation. Let me share with you a little bit, especially if
you are approaching for the first time the knowledge of who Panamanians
are. What I want to focus on in particular here is its
Caribbean roots.
7

The first migration of Afro-Antillean to Panama, one of the many
ethnic groups who were part of the kaleidoscope we are today,
occurred in the mid-nineteenth century, with the California Gold
Rush, which began in 1849. The consequent attraction of wealth
highlighted the need to facilitate the trips between the east and
west coasts of the United States. This raised the urgency to build
an inter-oceanic railway in Panama as the narrowest point in the
Americas, but the problem faced by the engineers of the railway
company was that Panama did not have the amount of workforce
to provide workers for the construction of railway.
This was just about the same time that there was a crisis of
overcrowding in the Caribbean causing labor shortage. These
two combined situations, the need for workers in Panama and
unemployment in the West Indies, explains the influx of Afro-Antillean
to this area of the Isthmus.
Between 1850 and 1855 about 45,000 Jamaicans arrived for the
construction of the railroad. Between 1880 and 1889 manpower
was imported from Jamaica, this time 22 thousand workers for
the French Canal project.
After 1880, banana cultivation in Central America expanded and
the United Fruit Company was established in Bocas del Toro
(Panama) and Puerto Limon (Costa Rica) and the Chiriqui Land
Company. This raised again the need to bring manpower from
Caribbean.
A third event that would cause the Afro-Caribbean immigration
to Panama would, actually, be the attempt of the French to build
a canal as a path of water across the isthmus. By then African-West
Indians had demonstrated their stamina and element
of being good workers in the construction of the railroad as was
seen in their performances in the projects in Bocas del Toro and
Puerto Limon.
Samuel Gutierrez, a prominent scholar of architecture in Panama,
has said: “The golden years of the French Canal exert a great
influence on the city that see its population swell with the rising
tide of new immigrants. In the Historic Center, the plethora of
buildings will occur in 1880, with the expectation of the works of
the Canal. This period leaves its mark on the main artery of the
city, or “Frenchified” sectors like the old Plaza de la Independencia.
Areas beyond what were the novecentistas limits of the Colonial
City are also addressed. The mansard and fittings appear
similar to the architecture of New Orleans or those of former
French colonies of the Caribbean “
8

SOCIAL
After the French began excavations in another failed attempt
to build the canal in 1881, the Americans took the opportunity
to complete the project, with the help of thousands of workers
from Caribbean islands of Anglophone and Francophone.
Between the failed attempt of Ferdinand de Lesseps in 1904
and 1912, additional workers recruited from the Caribbean
islands were also incorporated, 45,107 workers were employed
during this period; 44.1% came from Barbados, 12.3% of
Martinique, 4.6% Guadalupe and Trinidad 3.7%.
Photo: pixbay.com
West Indian workers were subjected to humiliating situations.
They were forced to perform the most difficult jobs. Excavations
were all done by West Indians. Landslides, dynamiting, yellow
fever and malaria claimed many lives. The annual report of the
Department of Health of the Canal Company, indicates that by
1913, 11,943 white employees had died and 44,711 black workers.
The conditions which in many cases subhuman, were not accepted
in full by all workers. Many of them were erected as
leaders and pioneers of serious reactions to the offense. On the
basis of their courageous struggles and detached sacrifices they
made gains and achieved some benefits for the community. This
situation faced disappointment when the West Indian builders
reached Panama Canal actual levels of social paroxysm, which
was expressed in the development of a segregationist system in
the canal strip, which was under American dominance until the
end of the twentieth century.
More than 20,000 West Indian workers perished during excavations
under the command of the French. By 1914, after titanic
efforts where the Panama Canal was inaugurated, many workers
decided to return to their home or emigrated to the United
States. However, a significant proportion decided to settle in the
isthmus, especially in the city of Colon, which directly and indirectly
remained linked to the activities of the waterway. Those
who decided to stay, and their descendants, were numerous
enough to achieve considerable impact on Panamanian society.
We see it consistently since then until today.
That was the magnitude of the mark
of the Caribbean in the Isthmus, from
the very early stage of the formation
of Panama as a national entity, rich
with its own personality.

Carola did not live in peace. The memory of Peter tormented her,
squeezing her chest. It was so old and deadly as jealousy.
This time she felt it. She could sense his arrival. She let him come
in and turned on the bulb that was hanging from a cord from the
ceiling.
She threw at him a glass that broke at his head, before he had even
said a word.
“Goddamn!”, he shouted. She threw another object that crashed in
Peter’s shadow. Now the scream was from the thief dripping blood
from his head. Carola was confused, but she knew throwing it was
not right. Solicitous, she went to comfort her beloved who was injured.
“You are a wicked woman, Carola. I do not know who you think you
are. I visit you because I like you. Your scent fascinates me. Yes,
you’re the one I like the most but your jealousy is unbearable. Now
this? Hitting me in the head? No! Enough! It’s too much”- starting to
leave where he had just entered. Through the window.
Carola kept him submissive, stitched the blood of his head and then,
once again, they stranded in burning union. But the black woman
was able to read Peter’s body language, who would never come
back. That would be the last night. When she felt his predisposed
lean to disappear as usual, she said: “I know your secret Peter, and I
know you will not come anymore. But you’ll pay.”
Peter came out smiling, without fearing what Carola had said. They
were just blubbers. How could a jealous black woman know his secret?
It was the same as before. He kept moving in the shadows.
The words of the black policeman were etched in her mind tormenting
her- “You think you’re the only bitch he has. You’re one of many.
The police would not believe what she said about Peter’s secret.
Fools! Those cholos did not know their Ethnicity still held secrets
that traveled with them on the slave ships.
When she heard the cries of the people, she imagined the news. This
struck her in the soul as well as the sound of sirens patrols within
their ears. Surely she knew that everything was related to Peter.
She ran and in the corner of the yard, in front of Selma’s room, she
saw that black policeman stop by the inert body of the famous thief.
He was the only one of the guards who was shot to surprise at the
shadow. Their eyes met with hatred. His reproach revealed the secret,
and hers, for having believed.

HEALTH
YOUR MOUTH: A WINDOW TO A
HEALTHY BODY
BY: DR. VANIA BARROW
VaniaBarrow26@hotmail.com
Believe it or not, your mouth can tell a lot about you
and your habits. It can show if you have nutritional deficiencies
or systemic diseases such as diabetes, AIDS
and Sjogren’s syndrome which initially manifests in the
mouth. According to the American Academy of General
Dentistry, 90% of all systemic diseases produce oral
manifestations.
The mouth is full of bacteria. Some belong to the normal
flora of the mouth and others are associated with
tooth decay and gum disease. We already know from
last month’s article that gum disease or periodontitis
can lead to tooth loss and is also related to other health
problems such as cardiovascular disease, stroke
and bacterial pneumonia. Besides, pregnant women
with periodontal disease are at increased risk of children
with premature birth and low birth weight.
Your mouth as infection source
We have already established that your mouth can
reveal a lot about your general health. However, if you
have any disease in your mouth and a weak immune
defense system bacteria can pass into your bloodstream.
I’ll explain how!
Usually bacteria from your mouth does not enter
the bloodstream. But when performing invasive
dental treatments as simple as dental cleaning or
flossing, if you have gum disease, that can serve
as ports of entry to microorganisms. Medications
or treatments that reduce saliva flow such as
chemotherapy, radiotherapy and antibiotics may
also alter the normal balance of bacteria in your
mouth. This imbalance compromises the natural
defenses of your mouth allowing bacteria to enter
your bloodstream.
13

If your immune system is healthy, the presence of
bacteria in your blood does not cause major problems
and your defenses quickly gets rid of them preventing
infection. On the other hand, if your immune
system is weakened by disease or cancer treatment,
oral bacteria in your bloodstream (bacteremia) can
cause disease elsewhere in your body.
Due to the association between periodontitis and
systemic diseases (affecting the entire body) prevention
looms as a major subject in maintaining the
general health of our body.
1.
Brush your teeth carefully in the mirror after each
meal. If that proves too inconvenient, then do it at
least twice a day, in the morning and at night before
bedtime. Remember that the most important
brushing is the night because this is the time where
salivary flow decreases, which sweeps the bacteria
and food debris and has antifungal, antimicrobial and
digestive properties among others.
2.
3.
4.
Clean between your teeth once a day and complement
with a mouthwash. These should be your allies
in daily oral hygiene.
Select products approved by the Panamanian Dental
Association or the American Dental Association
which guarantee safety and efficacy.
Also, remember to eat a balanced diet and limit snacks,
as these may increase the risk of dental caries
and periodontal disease.
5.
Remember the importance of visiting your dentist.
Organize a schedule of annual visits to make it easier
for you, one can be on the date of your birthday and
the next six months later.
6.
Dental prophylaxis (cleaning) in the dental office are
the only ones that can remove the stone that accumulates
over time inflaming your gums, making them
sensitive and bleeding.

Do not you be shy with your dentist!
Let him/ her know if you notice changes in your mouth such as:
►

These alterations may be associated with sudden
changes in your health, or connected to chronic and
systemic diseases.
Bad breath
Pus in the gums
Inflamed gums
Longer teeth
loose teeth
new spaces between your teeth
Changes in your prosthesis adjustment
9.
If you smoke or drink or if you are pregnant or considering
becoming pregnant, you should pay special
attention to your mouth and inform your dentist, so
that he or she takes the necessary measures. It is widely
studied that smoking and drinking are associated
with different types of cancer, not only with oral
cancer. On the other hand, hormonal changes during
pregnancy worsens gum problems, so taking care of
your mouth is important for you and your baby. Do
not become someone who has to say she lost a tooth
with each pregnancy!
So now you know, a healthy mouth for a healthy
body!

FALL WINTER 2016-17
TREND REPORT
BY: NINNA OTTEY, B.A.
notteymc@gmail.com
FASHION
October has arrived, and in the other hemispheres of the world
the color of the leaves begins to change, the wind becomes
cooler, and the clothes you find in the stores become heavier.
While in Panama we don’t have the four seasons, doesn’t
mean we cannot be aware of what’s happening in the fashion
world for the autumn-winter season.
Before the globalization started, people distinguished
the tones of the clothing for fall-winter with cold and
dark colors. Nowadays there’s no ‘dress code’. The
designers and fashion industry are more willing to expand
the market in their awareness of what’s happening
with the young consumers. Younger generation
don’t follow any fashion rules. They create their own
style and identity, become the trends, and see colors
and textures as timeless.
The approach for this season is quite bold. There
are very bright and metallic colors. There’s lace and
differents cuts that give variety to the looks from the
catwalk.
BLUMARINE GRANNY
These are some of my favorite styles for this season
that you can incorporate in your closet:

FASHION
GLAMOUR 1980s
Having seen in past seasons
strong inspiration from the ‘70s
and ‘90s, the ‘80s are finally making
a comeback! Brands such as:
Saint Laurent, Kenzo, Dolce & Gabbana,
Marco Da Vincenzo, Just
Cavalli, and Adam Selman rocked
an ‘80s glam style approach with
lots of shine, mix ‘and match, acid
colors and predominant shoulders.
Note also a macro trend that

next seasons due to the disappearance
of great artists such as
Prince and David Bowie.

WOMAN
This medieval style is a mini-trend
that is returning, with some Victorian
twist to make it modern for
the XXI century. It’s a style completely
inspired by the Italian Renaissance.
The empire waist, wide
and lantern sleeves, some corsets
and the velvet patterns are some
of its features. Seen in brands
such as: Chanel, Gucci, Lanvin,
Veronique Branquinho, Luisa Beccaria
and Vanessa Seward. Even
though it’s not a dominant style,
don’t lose track of it. While Games
of Thrones exists in our lives, this
trend will prevail.

WORKING WOMAN
When I talk about the working woman
style, I’m talking about suits.
Not the typical suits of the ‘70s and
‘80s when the woman starts working
on high working positions and came
out with suits from dad’s wardrobe.
The designers are always reinventing
the suits with cuts to fit, well,
any kind of figure. We can see some
modern styles like Edun’s suits with
yellow vertical stripes and a blue
vest. Another example of a modern
suit is the Trussardi with a dress suit.
Also brands like: Max Mara, Tibi, Sies
Marjan and Calvin Klein made some
creatives approaches for the working
suits.

proposal for the young generation.
A contrast that has become almost
a permanent inspiration style for the
autumn-winter. Taking as fashion
muses the famous grannies were: Iris
Apfel, Anna Piaggi and Debra Rapoport.
Large faux-fur coats, leopard,
flowers, carpet patterns fabrics are
some of the characteristics of this
trend. It’s one of the greatest approaches
made by Gucci’s creative director
Alessandro Michele. Other brands
include: Rochas, Miu Miu and Blumarine.
Marc Jacobs does it with a
gothic look.

METALLIC LOOKS
Metallic colors are in full swing, a
peculiarity for the autumn-winter season.
The colors ranges from gold and
silver and finishes with blue, green
and pink. They are completely bold
looks that can go very well from a day
outfit to a night event. This modern
austere proposal came from those
such as Fendi, ladylike style forties
like Dolce & Gabbana, Just Cavalli,
Tommy Hilfiger, to the neo-flappers
style at House of Holland catwalk.
TORYBURCH
DENIM
Denim is a classic must-have at
every fashion runway and never fails
as fashion proposal in any season.
Some designers remained in the “now
kinda boring ‘70s style” but it’s being
displaced little by little by the eighties.
Others simply made variations on the
denim. You can find it on runways like:
Chanel, Miu Miu, Ralph Lauren and
Bluemarine.

his is another classic that will not go
away, only that this time, it’s injected
with a highly ‘80s style. It is a
mini-trend that belongs to the 80’s
glamour mentioned before. Be sure to
have in your wardrobe a black leather
jacket, because it is a basic piece that
never goes out of style. Marc Jacobs,
Saint Laurent, Valentino, Alexander
McQueen, Coach and Just Cavalli are
incorporated into this trend that is
bringing more over the next seasons.

This is a mini-trend that is slowly disappearing
from the catwalks, because
of being part of the 1970’s trend.
However, we can still find interesting
outfits to take inspiration of this
Western style. Brands such as: Ralph
Lauren, Fausto Puglisi, Trussardi, Fay
and Just Cavalli did their own twist
approach of this mini-trend. Some
are masculine and other have a more
feminine style.

PERSONALITIES
UNVEILING THE ILLUSION
BY KEILA SALAZAR MORENO &
Dr. MARCELLUES E. HALL
I invite you to know more about Dr. Melida A. Harris Barrow,
the author of this great book coming out soon!
Dr. Melida A. Harris Barrow, Universal Peace Ambassador
of Panama appointed by the (French-Swiss Circle of Peace
Ambassadors) & President and Chief Executive Officer of Panama
World Trade and Investment Foundation (PWTIF), was
born in Panama City, Panama (19th Street Rio Abajo). She is
a dynamic and much sought-after motivational speaker who
addresses large audiences worldwide in schools, businesses,
prisons, universities, and church congregations. She has taken
her message about personal and professional leadership development
and Humanitarian Rights to local and international
venues, the internet, TV and radio talk shows.
She’s dedicated to creating business opportunities for the next
generation’s ground-breaking young entrepreneurs across the
globe. She has proven herself to be a phenomenal logistical
craftsman of business minds, enabling today’s aspiring youth
leaders and businessmen in the Caribbean Islands, Latin America
and Africa with the necessary instruments to expand their
customer base, solidifying their brand in a competitive market.
Dr. Harris Barrow launched her Love, Truth and Peace Global
Initiative in August 2015, addressing Social, Economic, and
Financial Challenges pressing our nations. She created a
platform for Young Global Leaders, Organizations, Businesses,
Schools, Governments and Individuals to implement innovative
solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges through
networking, collaboration, and partnership in efforts to maximize
success. Her mission is to inspire, motivate and instill
the importance of Leadership and Economic Development and
to aid individuals in reaching and exceeding their goals and
dreams.
25

In 2014, Dr. Harris Barrow embarked on another
mission to lobby the Chamber of Commerce,
Industries and Agriculture of Panama (CCIAP) for
the establishment of a Caribbean/African Pavilion
at EXPOCOMER . She was successful and was
granted the rights to be the sole promoter and
Administrator of said pavilion. As a result, when
EXPOCOMER 2015 opened its doors on March 11,
for the first time in the 33 year history of the event,
there was a pavilion dedicated to Caribbean and
African businesses, a significant milestone.
ETHNICITIES Magazine Editor-In Chief Keila Salazar Moreno conducted this interview with Dr. Harris Barrow
on one of her recent visit to Panama.
EM: Can you please let us know who is Melida
A. Harris-Barrow?
It’s funny, but if you had asked me that question a few years
ago, I would not have been able to answer that question.
Because I was in a different state of mind. The state of mind
I had back then, more so the environment, energy, everything
was defined for me. I was not able to think for myself; I did not
have the ability to be who I wanted to be. Years ago, I would
have said I am a motivational speaker, titles and other things
of this world but nothing about me.
Today I simply say, “I am that I am.” I am greatness because I
come from a source of greatness.
It is in nature that God meets with man, no title is needed to
establish your greatness. There is a level of consciousness
and understanding between man and nature. Yet, man will
tell you without a title you have not fulfilled the requirements
necessary to be considered what it is that you want to be. For
example, it does not take a Master’s of Arts Degree for you to
become an artist. The moment you begin to draw freely upon
your imagination, pulling from the inspiration of the universe,
you are an artist. You do not become an artist so that you can
learn to draw. On the contrary, you are an artist and that energy
is what you draw from and why you draw.
26

PERSONALITIES
Dr. Harris Barrow partners with organisations around the world such as the Caribbean Centre of Excellence for Sustainable
lihoods, Managing Director, Dr. Marcia R. Brandon by bringing awareness to the youth in agribusiness opportunities in Jam
Barbados and Grenada.
EM: Please tell me the story behind this
successful woman? What did you have to go
through?
Dr. Melida A. Harris Barrow: I am successful because I have
discovered who I am. I have discovered humanity’s greatest
illusion, which is mental Indoctrination of the world we live
in. Success to me is accomplishing God’s goal for me, it has
nothing to do with material things. Once you discover who you
are, you will become successful. Because you will have an understanding
of why you are on this earth. Helping people reach
and reconnect with God is my purpose and my success.
Success is not final! There should be no end to the milestones
we cross in our life’s journey. Yet, when success for your life is
not defined by your own standards, success can be a limitation.
Because the truth is, there are no limits. The only limits
are those self-imposed in our life. Although, this can only be
recognized when you understand the true meaning of being
successful. Your meaning of being successful to you and for
you, alone.
EM: What fears did you have in the p
how did you overcome them?
Dr. Melida A. Harris Barrow: There is a quote by
Williamson that says: “Our deepest fear is not th
inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are pow

The obstacles I faced, were due to lack of knowledge. I was
tired of going around in circles. During that period of my life,

define success for me. Their success is an illusion,

I cannot live in fear because God is not a God of fear. In order

I used is Courage. Fear and courage are intertwined.
Getting through fear is a skill that anyone can learn.The
problem is that most people cling to their fears, because it’s
part of who they are. If you aren’t ready to face your fears, you
probably won’t transcend them.
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the
triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel
afraid, but he who conquers that fear — Nelson Mandela

Dr. Melida A. Harris Barrow: What I like
to do the most is inspire, motivate, encourage
and teach others to be what God
created them to be. I want them to know
they are great. They do not have to look
all over, they were born great. I like to help
people find who they are. All that was not
given to you was not the truth. So, I love
to give people the truth and watch them
manifest in it. To watch them go from
being in bondage to discovering the light
within themselves, learning that they were
not who man said they are. My mission is
to reconnect them to God and watch the
transformation.

PERSONALITIES

EM: What’s the name of your book? What inspired
you to write it, and how many have you
wrote?
Dr. Melida A. Harris Barrow: The name of my book is called
“Unveiling the Illusion” and this will be my first book. I was inspired
to write this book because I wanted to share my experiences
with the world before leaving this earth. I do not want
anyone to go through what I went through, and you don’t have
to. Teaching people how to protect themselves spiritually is
very important to me. This world will destroy you if you allow
it. God has already prepared us for this challenge but we need
to become conscious of his message.
I want the world to really open their eyes to what’s really
happening. This is a book to introduce to you, the powers
and knowledge that you already have. You do not need to
seek what is already there. This was an opportunity for me to
highlight a few things that can change lives, that has changed
my life. The world is a very vicious place and when you have
learned to survive it, that is an amazing thing.

EM: What message can you give to people that haven’t
recognized who they are? Can you provide some
consolation being that they are those going through a
similar situation that you had?
Dr. Melida A. Harris Barrow: I encourage people to come out
of darkness and into the light to embrace love, truth, and peace.
God is the source of Love. So I seek God to find truth. That
is when knowledge started to flow within. When the knowledge
was manifested, it brought understanding and wisdom,
which revealed ME. That is how one achieves peace.
In order to experience love, truth and peace we have to go
back and knock on the door of our humanity. It is imperative
that we get our humanity back that is what we have lost because
of man’s illusion.
“Racism is an illusion that exists only when you believe it. The
antidote to that belief is to know who you are. Discovering
yourself through the understanding of who you were created
to be, is the greatest weapon against racism. No man is inferior
or superior to another. We were all created in the likeness
& image of God, with unique gifts and abilities to contribute to
this world.”

BIOGRAPHY
THE STORY OF
ALEJANDRO HILTON
BY: KEILA SALAZAR MORENO, B.A.
This is Alejandro Hilton, a musician with interest in
music from an early age. Since he was 11 years old, he
was influenced by Michael Jackson, The Police, Beastie
Boys, The Cure, NWA, OPP, Bob Marley, and many others
developing an interest from then in playing instruments.
Since a drum set would be too expensive and noisy, he
started playing the guitar.
In the early 2000’s, he started playing with his first blues
band, where they did tributes to Eric Clapton, BB King
and Stevie Ray Vaughan. In this band “La Vibra (The
Vibe)”, he recorded his first album “Primogénito (first
born)”, but in 2007, the band split, and he started his
own solo project.
As a solo artist it was hard, due to the fact that ev

In 2014, he started touring South America, visiting more
than 50 cities in Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, Chile,
Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
promoting these singles, with the goal of recording a
new album. However, in the middle of his recording
sessions, he decided to release the single “Anochecer

he had the chance to promote with a small tour through
Germany and Amsterdam in 2015.
When he saw that nobody bought CD’s (compact discs)
anymore, he decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign,
to make his new album in an USB format. He
finally got it made in Hong Kong, with 12 songs, 3 videos
and a tour guide for musicians with stories and pictures

ROOTS & CULTURE
HISTORY
IMPORTANCE OF HEADWRAPS
BY: SELVIA MILLER PALMER, B.A.
Headwraps have been used by Africans since early 1700 century. It is believed that
this practice goes back to before the days of slavery and were used by men to show
their level and social status and women to prove they were prosperous and spiritual.
The headwrap was difficult to obtain so it was usually worn by the rich black men and
women.
CHARACTERISTICS
The headwrap usually covers the hair completely. Women tend to ensure the headwrap
with a knot at the base of the crown to leave the neck bare. One of the cultural reasons
why they did this was to highlight their facial features and make them striking for anyone
who wanted to look at their faces to do so, rather than down their bodies.
IDENTIFICATION
African headwraps come in many bright and bold colors to highlight the faces of women
who use it. In West Africa, headwraps are known as GELES in Yoruba or ICHAFU
in IBO, NIGERIA. Today, women still use African headwraps as an expression of their
cultural identity and to boast of their spiritual strength.
35

CURIOUS FACT
The African headwrap has become a staple
of African attire, as the black dress is in
Western culture in our closets. There are
a variety of wonderful headwraps used
in special events, which have become a
fashion statement for black woman. Now
the headwrap is a garment for women of all
status that they may use as an expression
of their cultural identity.
COLORS OF AFRICAN HEADWRAPS AND ATTIRES
www.freepik.es
The colors in African culture have many
meanings.
GREEN: Means renewal and growth; also represents the
cycle of life.
BLUE: Represents the presence of God and the omnipotence
of the blue sky and the purity of spirit.
RED: A symbol of passion, political determination, fights
and defense. For ASHANTI red has protective powers.
BLACK: Denotes serenity and spiritual union with our ancestors
and involves a spiritual awareness.
GOLD: Represents serenity and status.
YELLOW: Represents fertility and vitality.

DID YOU KNOW WHO SARAH BOONE WAS?
BY: KEILA SALAZAR MORENO, B.A.
Sarah Boone (1832-1904) was an African American
inventor who on April 26, 1892, obtained the rights
to US patent for improvements on the ironing board.
Sarah Boone’s board was designed to improve the
quality of ironing sleeves and women’s garments. The
table was very narrow, curved and made of wood. The
shape and structure allowed adjusting the sleeve so
that it could be ironed on both sides.
DID YOU KNOW?
Sarah Marshall Boone was born in Craven County,
North Carolina, near the town of New Bern in February
1832. On November 25, 1847, she married a freed
slave named James Boone with whom she had eight
children. The Boone family left North Carolina to go
to New Haven, Connecticut before the outbreak of the
American Civil War where they settled in a house on
30th Street Winter.
