Urgent Need for Professionalism and De-escalation – An Open Letter to Erna-Mae Braithwaite
Dear Mrs. Braithwaite,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding your recent involvement in a highly publicized altercation during the carnival celebrations.
As the General Manager of the Antigua Broadcasting Service, your role carries significant responsibility and influence within the community, and your actions, or lack thereof, are a matter of public interest.
While I understand that emotions can run high in such festive environments, it is crucial for individuals in leadership positions to set an example of professionalism, composure, and conflict resolution.
The video footage circulating on social media, depicting your altercation with another woman, raises questions about your ability to manage stressful situations and uphold the values of your position.
It is disheartening to note that despite the fact that the other woman initiated the physical contact, your apparent failure to de-escalate the situation demonstrates a lack of maturity and restraint.
As a representative of the Antigua Broadcasting Service, your behavior reflects not only on your personal character but also on the reputation of the organization you lead.
De-escalation is a fundamental skill that individuals in positions of authority should possess, especially when confronted with tense or confrontational situations.
By defusing conflicts, you not only prevent the situation from escalating further, but you also preserve the respect and dignity of all parties involved.
In doing so, you contribute to maintaining a harmonious community and fostering a sense of unity.
I implore you to reflect on the impact of your actions and consider the broader implications they have on your role as General Manager and the image of the Antigua Broadcasting Service.
It is my sincere hope that you will take this incident as an opportunity for personal growth and commit to acquiring the necessary skills to handle similar situations with grace and professionalism in the future.
In closing, I urge you to lead by example and prioritize the principles of conflict resolution and de-escalation in your professional and personal interactions.
Your actions have the potential to positively influence the community and reinforce the values that the Antigua Broadcasting Service represents.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and I trust that you will give due consideration to the concerns raised herein.
Sincerely,
Erna and Melly

Oh please….
Chupps
given the current conflicts… You see, the rhetoric doesn’t really work.
Ms. Tongue (for that’s what I will always see her as when certain Grammer school boys would jump Gwen Tongues fence,,during classes to spend 2minutes with Erna-Mae in the early 1970’s)initiated the negativity in discouraging a photo,,by the woman,,who then,,,deliberately,,,bumps her.
The Leader of the prestigious ABS,,should have laughed that off,,knowing her community standing,,she knows,, she can’t fight,, bullies,,usually can’t fight
.And,,,if ya don’t think she’s a bully,,,ask her employees,,they might be too scared to tell,,,of the horrors she creates at ABS.She prolly tried to bullie the Lady to not take the photo.
You obviously didn’t watch the same video everyone else saw! The lady was with her mas troupe, ensuring that people are out of the children’s way while they revel for their safety!
You people see one side of a story and run with it like a loaf of hot bread!
Do you know the lady that bumped her?
Well she’s from all saints! Ask the staff and other venders on dark wood Beach about her! She’s a REAL trouble making BULLY!!!
Get off Erna-Mae back!
You sound like one of her Brown-Nosers,,, a Boot Licker,,scared of her much?
Anywho,,,,,,Sounds like a great movie title:
” WHEN BULLIES MET ONE CARNIVAL “
YOU STATED –
You obviously didn’t watch the same video everyone else saw!
Proof i did watch the same video –
Erna-Mae nitiated the negativity in discouraging a photo,,by the woman,,who then,,,deliberately,,,bumps her.
YOU FURTHER STATED –
The lady was with her mas troupe, ensuring that people are out of the children’s way while they revel for their safety.
Did the video depict that?
There were two children clearly visible in the video,, one had the arm of Soca artist wrapped around he ,, and seemed very protected to me and the other ran to the aid of the woman that bumped Erna-mae.
Is there not a security contingent attached to MasTroups?
Would it not be SECURITIES responsibilities,,to handle Security?
I saw very well,,,,what I saw ,,then offered my opinions ,,,so good day to you Tuk Sheep aaaaa ehm,,, I meant,,,Black Sheep.
I just wanna say that the good manager is not aging well at all..
I saw her jouvert morning and she looks horrible.. certainly not pleasing to be on TV at all…
I am not surprised by this altercation her bullish attitude shows on her face..
Sad.. smh
That manager should be well into her 70’s
,I think she is gorgeous.
I disagree with you.
Why you in your 70’s and still working wreaking havoc on the job?
Shouldn’t you be enjoying your retirement?
Why people in antigua just stay and hold on to they power and position?
Forever and ever.. omg!👀
She funny looking?🤔
Two things, Ena-Mae initiated the altercation, however the lady was wrong to touch her. I do agree with the writer that given her position as GM of ABS, she should have employed the de-escalation skills that her position requires. There was no need to stop the lady from taking a photo. Also her son’s actions are disappointing. Instead of calming Erna-Mae he sought to escalate the situation further.
You’re being untruthful. Did Erna-Mae start it? Do you know what happened prior to the bully’s violating Erna-Mae?
Stop writing foolishness if you cannot be objective. I beg you please!!!
Look here! Nomatter whose side you take, and how much talk y’all talk…women fighting is low gutter class and utterly disgusting.
Blessed the person or persons that right this should be ashame is she not human the person deliberately gorge her in the back when walking off wat the lady was suppose to do is just let it slide it was no ot a massive crowd do she can say no nothing it was a one on one contact wat I see is that on this small Island of Antigua politics is in everything so let me ask the writer of this if that the lady did slap or spit in her face she should just remember she have a high role in management or pls give me a break well done Ms Ernama
When you are on the devil’s playground , he makes the rules, and you must play along with his rules, and that’s what carnival is about, playing with the devil.
