This lady with her advance degree, JD, and her bachelors degree, would have been ignored in Antigua, even though she is better equipped than the politicians and many others. Happy to see a fellow Juris Doctorate degree snd holder and Antiguan getting a position at the helm to make a difference in the criminal justice system.
You have to leave Antigua and Barbuda to make it and you have to leave Antigua to but placed in positions based on merit. That will never happen in Antigua, not anytime soon.
They do not even want to use your better idea as that will give you too much exposure and potentially threatens their leadership roles.
If any person need help leaving the US and finding legals ways to migrate, please contact me, as Antiguan governments will make sure you never achieve anything . They will say, I can not help.
Great news, and #CONGRATULATIONS!
Now here’s hoping, that you’ll use this position, to address The #WOMB_TO_PRISON PIPELINE business practices, that supports BIG BUSINESS and many States with prisons, as their main Industry.
The #WOMB_TO_PRISON PIPELINE has being and still is decimating Cultures, of darker HUES, in #This_Here_America!

It is about time for the Govt to stop begging for money to build hotels as there is enough in the nation to go around. How about asking for a new penal facility to be built. There are many Antiguans and Barbudans living abroad that have and held senior positions in correctional facilities overseas. Get a new jail built and repatriate said individuals to manage and run said facility. Also there is a lady from Villa who is a captain in the FDNY. Her expertise could very well benefit the development of the nation. Also in the field of healthcare. Doctors and nurses could really shed new life in the quality of healthcare given in the nation.
@D Jude, you are a genius.
You know was just this week thinking they could fire all the current medical doctors at the hospital in Antigua. So, if they have 10 doctors, fire them, and hire 3 really good doctors and pay those 3 really good doctors the salary of the 10 incompetent or improperly trainee local doctors.
My brother is a top medical doctor in the US and I know he would be great, a million times better than what is available in Antigua at this time.
Politicians do not act reasonably because they need that vote.
The problem with such repatriation is that past and present governments would not want to pay these individuals what they are really worth. In the terms of doctors. Who after completion of medical school are owing over $100,000.00 in debt. The govt would not want to pay these professionals a s that would allow them to be able to meet their financial obligations abroad like university and medical school loans repayments. Mortgage repayments not forgetting tuition payments for their kids in addition to their way of living Antigua. I am quite sure that if a professional requests a sum of $15,000.00USD to $20,000.00 USD per month as a salary package to return home that they would be denied and looked upon as being greedy. Let’s look at what they would be leaving behind. To return to be at the whim and mercy at politicians and their lackeys where the culture is do what I say and not what is right.
