The Chewstick Foundation
Begun in the fall of 2002, Chewstick has been my baby and passion for many years now. Best known for our open-mic jam sessions which have become a staple in the Bermuda social scene, routinely attracting audience and participants from every walk of life. It's fun and entertaining, but it's major purpose is to provide for artists to refine their abilities and to break down the walls of social segregation in the community. We've also taken the Chewstick model into the prisons, schools and streets and have plans to continue expansion into other mediums and regions.

Imagine Bermuda
Imagine Bermuda began many years ago and is the brainchild of Mr. Glen Fubler, a tireless social advocate since the early 70s. I first became involved in 2006, resulting in my first anthem, "Imagine Bermuda", in honor of this campaign. Bermudian society has become increasingly polarized due to politics, and socio-economic realities or our citizenry. As a result there have been several initiatives to combat this polarization, most of which focus on the past. Imagine Bermuda chooses to learn from the past, but strategize for a better future through discussion groups and inspired events.

Middle Passage Monument
The Middle Passage Monument is a project begun by Mr. Wayne James of The U.S. Virgin Islands. The idea came to him in a dream where he met his tormented ancestors lost at sea during the middle passage of the African Holocaust. They were tormented because they had no proper burial ceremony, even though it is the largest unmarked burial site in history. The Monument was deposited in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in 2003 and the first land monument replica is currently in USVI awaiting transport and dedication in Bermuda, the closest point to the actual monument.

Vital
Vital is still in it's infancy but was born out of a need for people and organizations to have the tools and insight to reach their goals. Part design & marketing, part management & planning, combined with a focus on cultural, community and inspirational works, Vital is preparing to enter the market with several initiatives.

AFFILIATED PROJECTS

Bermudians Against the Draft
B.A.D. for me began back in 1997 when i was first conscripted into the Bermuda Regiment. At that time i was off to college so I was defered service until my eventual return in 2002. At that time i successfully defended my rights against the military tribunal, becoming a conscientious objector and dedicating myself to ending this archaic abuse of power once and for all. B.A.D. officially started in 2006 by Larry Marshall Sr. as a result of his sons being conscripted. The legal claim is currently in process, and we are actively fighting for the rights of all the conscripted.

The Menelik Academy For Technology & The Performing Arts is a community project to develop a world-class, privately funded, public school dedicated to developing high school students talent and education. It is utilizing the succesful model of The BRIT School in Croydon, London England a world renowned vocational school with such celebrity alum as Floetry, Amy Winehouse and Adele, to name a few.
Run For Freedom 
Run For Freedom began in 2007 by Ms. Charlotte Wilberforce great-great-granddaughter of Sir William Wilberforce, the man who fought tirelessly in British parliament to abolish the trans-atlantic slave trade 200 years ago. She has picked up this fight to end modern slavery, estimated to be more widespread now than then, in a campaign called Run For Freedom. On March 30, 2008 participants ran and/or walked to raise funds and awareness in both Bermuda and London, England to great success. Plans are currently in the works for subsequent events and for the 2009 RFF.
