he Grace Atlanta Caribbean Jerk Festival At-lanta Jerk Fest and Family Funday on Sunday Septem-ber 6 at Panthersville Stadium 2817 Clifton Springs Road Decatur, Georgia is entering its tenth year and has become one of, if not, the most consistently well supported Caribbean event in Georgia, a feat that is very hard to do. Over the past 2 decades hundreds have tried and have failed to get an annual event going in Georgia, only a handful have succeeded; and succeed is very relative. This festival has been organized by Glen Simmonds Events led by the married couple Glen and Cheriel Simmonds. The festival boasts the legendary Caribbean acts: Maxi Priest, Luciano, Alison Hinds and Professor Nuts along with Chubb Rock, Errol Moore and the DJ skills of Mix Master David. The festival will also feature activities for the whole family and great food and refreshments. Front and center will be the star of the festival; the Jerk, cooked by masters chefs vying for top honours of preparing the best Jerk dish. Glen Simmonds' name is very much a part of Georgia Caribbean history and culture. For 16 years Simmonds was a powerful voice of the Georgia Carib-bean community. On WCLK 91.9FM every Saturday evening Simmonds hosted one of the most powerful radio shows on that station (mainly a Jazz station). The Natural Mystic Caribbean Radio show gave the Georgia Caribbean community a slice of the Caribbean through music, talk and interviews. People in earshot of the pro-gram were highly influenced by the veteran radio man who had already done main stream radio in Jamaica. When referring to Simmonds, Walshy Fire (Leighton Walsh) the Jamaican of the hitmaking trio Major Lazer; illustrates that “as a broadcaster he stayed true to repre-senting our Caribbean culture but stuck to the format of the station, which is all jazz. He made it make sense for both groups so neither was turned off He will always be the most valuable voice to the community. He was there long before me. He united all music lovers for decades.” Walsh went to college and also was the MC for the sound Changez in Atlanta. As a broadcaster Simmonds was professional, knowledgeable, inclusive, thought-provoking, timely,

entertaining and on the pulse of the culture and community, all traits that he has used to help make the festival successful. It would all end though, and opened the way for the Jerk Festival. Simmonds shares that, the festival was “formulated in the studios of WCLK between myself and Lloyd Roberts back in 2004 after one of our programs.” That would be 2 years before the first staging, Simmonds goes on to say; “I recall spending hours upon hours trying to figure out the best way that the festival should be positioned and presented to the community, what the overall theme would be, what day to choose for the event etc. We were initially inspired by the Florida Jerk Festival of which Roberts' brother Sidney Roberts is a co-founder. In simple terms we wanted to create a family friendly event that was able to showcase the various aspects of Jamaica and Caribbean culture and cuisine.” The decisions seemed to work because the festival would grow each year, Simmonds would showcase non-profit organizations from the Caribbean community, along with giving businesses opportunities

to showcase their products and services. Consistently there was the best in food and entertainment year in year out, and although the crowds in the beginning were not that large, they began to build each year. Simmonds states that the “Atlanta community has

continued…given tremendous support to the festivalover the years. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the support of my wife and my family. Jerk Fest has also received tremendous support from several members of the community, including, in the early years of the festival, Webley Scott in the area of street promotions and outreach, the Late HonouraryJamaican Consul Vin Martin, Christopher and Audrey Earle of Business Concepts Consulting, Robert & Nikki Harris of Visual FX Graphix, Christopher Campbell, Errol Moore of Island Gruve, Four Seasons Party Cruise and various community and Alumni associations. We have been fortunate to have wonderful sponsors such as Grace Foods, Vita Malt, Jamaica Tourist Board, and Caribbean International Shipping services. We also appreciate all the vendors who believed in us as we embarked on this journey. Also big respect to our first set of performers; Erica Newell, Swatt Band, Selah and Lee Danja.” There are patrons that have been involved with the Atlanta Caribbean Jerk Festival (ACJF) from the beginning in various ways. Caroline Sulal one of the co-founders of the Atlanta based organization United For Jamaica shares that, “The ACJF is one of a kind in Georgia. It’s a family friendly Caribbean event that draws people from every corner of the world. It’s filled with Caribbean culture, yummy food, games for the kids, pulsating sounds of Reggae and Soca and well-known Jamaican and Caribbean artists - who will have you dancing all night. All of this for an affordable price. As long as I’m in town, I will go to ACJF.” The festival of course is a challenging event to stageand became even more challenging when Simmonds faced health issues, Simmonds had a heart attack and is only with us today because his 13-year-old daughter, Shardae, saved his life by using CPR in 2013. The Simmonds family did not allow that to stop them

though, they forged on and have entered triumphantly in its tenth year. The event is so well attended and organized now that some view it as the premier Caribbean event that occurs in Georgia. Long time supporter and also the former President of the Queen's Alumnae Association reflects on the festival by saying, “it is important that we continue to build on the success of the Atlanta Jerk Festival. Although the success is largely because we have Glen as the organizer, it is a reflection of the community and does speak volumes about our ability to orchestrate -- and support -- a large event without destroying our surroundings or becoming hostile to each other. I'd love to see this festival grow large enough to warrant the type of attention and support that an event like OcktoberFest or the Decatur Book Festival draws, where municipalities are vying for the opportunity to host it because of what it would mean to their coffers and to local businesses.” Simmonds shows he is on that same page when he speaks about the future, “I see the festival being bigger and better, that has been the goal from day one. We want the festival to be an event that the community can continue to be proud of, and that it becomes a vehicle that promotes Caribbean food, culture and the community. We also want the festival to introduce, to members of the wider population, the Caribbean food, culture and lifestyle. Also on a very basic level we would like to raise an interest in that wider population about the home countries of the Caribbean cultures represented at the festival.” From all indications Simmonds is well on his way to do that and more as will be exemplified by the tenth staging of the The Grace Atlanta Caribbean Jerk Festival Atlanta Jerk Fest and Family Funday on Sunday September 6 at Panthersville Stadium.

For most people, going on vacation means getting away to somewhere with sun and beach. Located in southern European on the Iberian Peninsula, between Spain and the Atlantic Ocean, I recently had the pleasure of visiting the lovely cities of Lisbon, Belem and Cascais. The cities capital Lisbon is mountainous with castles and spectacular views of the city and the Atlantic Ocean. Sao George Castle in particular is just a short tram ride up the hills. The neighborhoods within the hills are filled with jagged streets and winding turns. Then there is Russio Square surrounded by authentic Portuguese restaurants and of course the occasional tourist traps. These are popular dishes to try along the coast where Lisbon is situated, You will also see the remains of slave trade ports. I highly suggest eating traditional dishes such as Portuguese steak. This succulent dish is made with red wine, a variety of chili pepper and garlic flavors, served with fries and salad.

If you travel 15 minutes west of Lisbon,you will find the small town of Belem. Belem is home to two UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Jeronimos Monastery one of the world’s largest religious sites and the Tower of Belem which was used as a defense mechanism during the peak of the maritime.

Further west, you will find another coastal but wealthy city of Cascais, 20 miles west of Lisbon. It displays extravagant trails through million-dollar homes along the cliffs where you can watch the sun set over the Atlantic.

Your accommodation in Portugal depends on the experience you wish to have. If you are traveling on a budget and want to splurge on all the fascinating things the country has to offer by renting AirBnb you can save money on accommodations and it is a secure way of travelling without feeling too touristy.

You’ll have the opportunity to choose which type of neighborhood you wish to stay. For Lisbon, the west end of the city is far more historic and naturally beautiful. The east end is further developed with modern buildings, condos, the aquarium and large shopping malls.

inally, after 54 years of isolation, Cuba is once again courting diplomatic relations with the United States of America. Once looked upon as a Communist country with terroristic threats to America’s national security, Cuba stands on the horizon of economic emergence as the partial removal of over five decades of economic sanctions have resulted in the raising of an American flag in Havana, Cuba as the American Embassy reopens its office there, and the raising of a Cuban flag in Washington, D.C. as the Cuban Embassy reopens its office on American soil. Both openings represent a turning point in the still volatile relationship between Cuba and the U.S., as America continues to push for democracy and human rights on the island. However, as stated by President Barak Obama during his speech on December 17, 2014, “America chooses to cut loose the shackles of the past so as to reach for a better future, for the Cuban people, for the American people, for our entire hemisphere, and for the world”.

It has long been known that Cuba was more than ready to enter the 21st century and join the rest of the world, after the 54 year embargo crippled its economy, and relegated the small island nation of 11.3 million people to a time long forgotten. Access to food and modern resources became scarce, which resulted in many disheartened Cubans leaving the country on make shift vessels and risking their lives to land on the shores of Miami, Florida. Cubans at home are now in a position to elevate their socio-economic standards through small business trade and development, as entrepreneurship is helping business men and women rebuild their lives, and increase their financial stability. With the new policies, Cuban business owners will be allowed to engage in trade with the United States of America, as long as their services and products are not connected to, or in partnership with state-owned agencies. Hence, business owners must operate totally independent from the Cuban Government.

For the past 54 years, Cuba claimed to have suffered up to $1 trillion in lost revenue due to the sanctions. It became dependent on subsidies and support from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), up until the collapse and dissolution of the Soviet Union between 1985 and 1991. Cuba was totally dependent on the USSR for its ability to extend credit, from which Cuba could use the credit to purchase equipment, machinery, and other resources it needed to function. This partnership was established between Cuba and the Soviet Union after the United States refused to purchase Cuba’s sugar, which was devastating to Cuba, as the U.S. was its most lucrative customer.

The U.S. turned down Cuba’s sugar immediately after a revolution, which was led by Fidel Castro, Raul Castro, and Ernesto “Che” Guevara, that ousted the prominently U.S. backed Flugencio Batista regime. With Batista now ousted by the coup, and with the installation of the Castro administration, the United States abandoned its support of any goods exported out of Cuba. Coming to the realization that it needed to export one of its best commodities, Cuba struck a deal with the Soviet Union to purchase 1 million tons of its sugar annually. This, along with a generous extension of credit, helped to stabilize the Cuban economy and keep it afloat.

After the Soviet Union collapsed, Cuba turned to Russia, one of the largest Soviet Republics, and Venezuela, as the country had no local production.

Now that a turnaround is imminent, there is potential on both sides. With deplorable infrastructure present, American business owners are in a position to provide services to the Cuban people. For example, cell phone, telecommunication services, computers, cell phone services, software, and other products are needed in Cuba. Entrepreneurs can provide these services and products directly to small business owners in Cuba.

Credit card companies and financial institutions now operate in Cuba. This is especially lucrative, as the number of visitors to the island will increase, and so will spending at various privately owned restaurants and retail outlets. Americans, once only allowed to travel with up to $3,000 in total remittances, can now travel with up to $10,000 in total remittances, allowing for a boost in discretionary income for Cuban families. For goods imported into the United States, this is governed by the U.S. State Department Section 515.582 of the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, and to see what goods are allowed to be exported, those interested can visit www.state.gov of the U.S. Department of State.

Austin E. Thompson, Jr., MBA, MPM is a small business consultant and Adjunct Professor of business at Short-er University. He is also the author of A BRAND New You, and has worked with numerous entrepreneurs for the past seven years as a small business consultant to help plan, develop, and grow their businesses. You can listen to him on the second Saturday of each month on WATB 1420AM Radio at 4:00 p.m., as he hosts the Entrepreneurship and Business Empowerment Hour, where you will listen to interviews of numerous and prominent entrepreneurs in Metro Atlanta.

• Family visits• Official government visits• Journalism• Professional research and meetings• Educational activities• Religious activities

These are the categories under which one can qualify for travel to Cuba at this present time, as the travel embargo has not been completely removed. For additional information, anyone can check the U.S. Treasury Department’s website.

Tourism will experience an immediate increase, as Cuba has over 400 beaches, and located only 90 miles from the Florida coast. There are 19 approved ports from which Cubans can enter the U.S., and travel can be arranged with participating airlines and hotels. Although a complete lifting of the embargo

is still imminent, we can begin feeding our curiosity by visiting this once isolated nation and build strong relations. Cuba will play a vital role in Latin America and the Caribbean region, and once the embargo is completely removed, the island will lead a new kind revolution, which will be rebuilding its economy to be one of the best in that region. You can listen to my reporting on Entrepreneurship in Cuba by visiting http://tmconsultingllc.com/radiopodcasts.html, and look for the broadcast. Viva Cuba!!!

Technology Meet when teens &

In August 2014, with persistence, perseverance and passion, Asha Christian, 16, Caleb Christian, 15, and Ima Christian, 17, used their technical skills to develop and launch their Innovative new mobile app that has benefited their community and the nation. The Christian siblings reside in metro Atlanta and are the offspring of Leon Christian and Karen Abrams.

What inspired you to create the Five-O App?We became increasingly alarmed by the media reports of police brutality cases, in addition, some members of our family also had less than positive encounters with law enforcement. We felt helpless and wanted to engage in someway to better understand and hopefully contribute to solving the problem. We then developed a mobile application for citizens to track and rate their interactions with law enforcement officers. The ratings are then aggregated and averaged to provide an overall score for professionalism and courtesy, along with offering citizens a place to share their written review of the interaction. Our mobile app Five-O also allows users to search for those ratings and reviews by county and zip code.

Who had the tech experience to build the app and what education was provided to successfully create Five-O?From elementary school, we were exposed to robotics, HTML, Java script, web design and other basic programming skills. Our parents also enrolled us in Math and Science programs geared towards enriching our STEM education. We are not experts in app development; we created the app Google search by Google search. It was a painstaking process but definitely worth the effort.

What overall feedback have you received from the Atlanta community?Our efforts have been embraced nationally. We’ve interviewed with more than 50 media channels and for the most part the feedback has been positive. I think more than anything else, young people are learning that they have the power to effect change in their own communities. People are generally pleased that we

are bringing visibility to events within the community involving local law enforcement.

Have you received any comments from local police departments on reviews of their staff/officers?We have not really reached out directly to police departments. Between school, studying, programming and other extra-curricular activities, we have not really had the time to focus on outreach to officers. Feedback to our email by individual officers has generally been positive.

What opportunities have opened up for you following the release of Five-O?Many opportunities have opened up for us; we were invited out to Silicon Valley by billionaire Venture Capitalist Ben Horowitz of Andreessen Horowitz; there we toured Facebook and other Tech Companies. We were also his guests at the Nas, Time is Illmatic premier. His lovely wife Felicia invited us to their home, where we met many CEOs of Tech startups and received feedback and advice from many of them.

We were also invited apply for:

• The Innovating Justice Award at The Hague and have made it into the second round of participants.

• Ima was voted as one of Georgia’s Top 20 Youth Leaders and she also won the Turner Youth Voices award.

• Presented a TED talk on utilizing technology to innovate for social good - TEDxYTB (The team)

• Listed in Forbes Magazine Top 10 Moments of Resilience of 2014 (#7) (The team)

• Ima and I each received a $1000 grant from Women In Construction And Related Services (WICERS) – for work in tech, robotics. We also participate in the 100 Black Men of Atlanta Robotics Team.

• Ima earned a full scholarship to Stanford University and will be studying Computer Science and Math.

What advice can you offer to inspire youth that encourages both entrepreneurship and initiative to make an idea, reality?

I think first you have to identify your passion. If you’re not quite sure, then identify problems in your life, in your community, in your country. Research the passion or problem and then try to recruit a few like-minded peer to work with, on a solution.

If you’re lucky enough to find your passion, to find what you love, to find what sets you on fire, then engage others and try to use tools around you, especially technology to come up with a solution. Whatever you do however, you have to believe in yourself and you have to find the drive and discipline to help you persevere even on those days when you feel like giving up.

Can we expect anything new in the tech-field from the Christian trio?

Currently Caleb is working on a Lupus research project while Ima and Asha are working on an exciting new app targeted to Black women’s hair care. We are all very excited about it!
