Global - It’s a Christmas Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, It’s a Tale of Two Cities, all wrapped into one - but mostly it’s a tale of an improbable journey. A life’s journey that began in East Dry River, Port-of-Spain, on the island of Trinidad with its uncertain narrative, and navigates up to and through great halls of learning at NYU (New York University) with boundless promise and distinction. But like the steelpan instrument’s indomitable “spirit” and implausible existence - Akini serves as a reminder that genius, brilliance, and that true authentic intellectual spark - can and often will be found where you least expect it.

I thank you!
Well done, Mr. Gill. You have faced your challenges head on; you have overcome them and realized outstanding achievement. In your interview, I was impressed by your firm grasp of reality as you return to Trinidad, an environment which in its ignorance can be psychologically cruel to those who seem to be different. You are an inspiration; and I am sure that you will make a great ambassador for all children with learning challenges. Forward Ever!
I thank you!
