With this issue, CaribbeanTales must say goodbye to Shana Calixte. I have to admit that I’m never really happy when friends leave. Although I usually know that it’s best for them and that they have a world of other wonderful new ventures to pursue.
Shana has been a key colleague and trusted friend to us here at Leda Serene Films ever since she joined the small planning group that, in 2002, had already begun dreaming of all the multimedia possibilities for CaribbeanTales. Shana had recently completed her Master's thesis on St. Lucian women's negotiations of "home" and how they saw themselves "fitting" into multiracial and multicultural Canada. As a student and community activist she had created and designed websites for Black and women’s groups. So it was really easy for us to find common ground as we continued to brainstorm and develop themes and ideas about the links between Caribbean-Canadian heritage and storytelling, and how these could be channeled and expressed through the New Media.

Shana became the Designer and Project Manager of our first CaribbeanTales website project: caribbeantales.ca. In 2004, she also took on the role of Editor of the multimedia E-Newsletter. This is now the ninth E-newsletter that she has been responsible for producing. The feedback that we receive from our readers continually testifies to what we already know -- that CaribbeanTales has an avid and expanding readership that appreciates the quality and scope of our multimedia projects. Shana has done an excellent job of building and sustaining the high quality and variety of our content.
I know that all our readers will join with me in thanking her for a job well done, and wishing her all the best as she moves forward.
Walk good on your way
and good duppy walk with you,
Walk good every day,
and good duppy walk with you
Every day, on your way
Walk good, good follow you
If you just walk good!
Walk good!The Honourable Louise Bennett-Coverly ("Miss Lou")
