Peter Tosh forum to celebrate the reggae icon’s birth
T
he annual Peter Tosh Symposium takes place tonight, October 19th at the Neville Hall Lecture Theatre (N1) at the UWI Mona. Entitled ‘Peter Tosh -Reggae Revolutionary and Equal Rights Advocate’, the event will celebrate the 68th anniversary of the reggae icon’s birth. It will be even more special this year as he was posthumously awarded Jamaica’s third highest honour, the Order of Merit (OM) on Heroes Day on Monday. Panellists will include Herbie Miller, Tosh’s former manager and curator of the Jamaica Music Museum at the Institute of Jamaica; Dr Clinton Hutton, musicologist, painter, and lecturer in the Department of Government; Professor Carolyn Cooper, founder and former director of the Reggae Studies Unit at the Mona Campus of UWI, as well as Tosh’s children Niambe and Dave. Renowned as a reggae icon and a founding member of reggae super-group, The Wailers, Tosh was for equal rights and justice. The symposium is from 6pm to 8:30pm and will be chaired by Dr Michael Barnett, lecturer in the Department of Sociology, Psychology and Social Work at the UWI, Mona.

Silvia Njoki is a freelance stylist and fashion writer living in Nairobi, Kenya. She is an avid traveller, but when in town, she loves hosting friends from all over the world and partying at the hottest dancehall clubs in Nairobi. Her love for Jamaican culture doesn’t stop there: she attends many reggae concerts and sometimes gets the privilege of interviewing and hanging out with some of our biggest celebrities right there in Kenya. Without a doubt, Silvia’s weekends are more than exciting, they are a true cross-cultural experience.

Weekend family activities It’s a fact: many families don’t spend a lot of time together on the weekend as members prefer to ‘do their own thing’. This weekend, we recommend some simple activities you can do to-
Friday Relax, unwind, chill Friday is the start of the weekend, so use this day to kick back. Watch a movie together; go out to an event; have a games night; play some old school music or new tunes and dance up a storm.
Saturday Play, reminisce, laugh Saturdays are when most activities take place, but carve out a slot of time to hang out together. Go through old photo albums (remember those?) and make fun park or a place of seclusion where you can share upcoming plans and reminisce on good times.
Sunday Create, taste, enjoy Sundays are the best days to relax and cook up a storm! Make Grandma’s stew peas or potato salad; get the kids involved for the easier tasks. Moms, take this time to pass on important traditions to your little ones and encourage them to experiment with you. Use the time to make good memories and good food.
