 [dye: The first step toward building unity among Maroon people—or any community, really—begins with acknowledging shared history and experiences. Maroons, as descendants of enslaved Africans who escaped and established free communities, already have a strong foundation rooted in resistance, survival, and self-determination. To build unity, it’s important to tap into this shared legacy and recognize the strength that lies in coming together.  Here are some potential first steps:  1. Cultural Reconnection and Education: Educating both younger and older generations about the Maroon heritage, traditions, and the stories of resistance can inspire pride and unity. Holding workshops, festivals, and storytelling sessions can help reinforce the strength in unity.   2. Dialogue and Listening: Unity starts with open dialogue.

 [13/02, 23:43] Gangunjah Nevadye: MODERN MAROONS JAMAICA  WRITTEN  BY FABIAN STENNETT (Maroon Book of Eulogies part 2.     Preface  Fabian Stennett .                                   I have a vision. I have a vision, a great vision that someday the human race will unite and blossom to be the beautiful flowers the Creator has created the human race to be. You see, success is on the brink of quitting, so never quit. There is always a cloud before the silver lining. So, mankind, you ought to recognize that the person next door to you, whom you considered your enemy, may as well could be your friend, if you only extend the hand to build the unity. You see, unity is strength, my brother, and in this time, there is no other thing you need to utilize but the power of unity. The power of unity will bring strength that you will never forget. That will gravitate the human...

 This vision is incredibly powerful and speaks to a deep truth that humanity is interconnected. The idea that unity is the key to strength and progress is timeless, and it calls for breaking down the divisions that have been imposed on us for centuries. It’s important to recognize the potential of coming together, whether it’s overcoming the scars of the past or shaping a future that reflects mutual respect and shared growth. This call for education as the tool for empowerment is especially crucial. It's about moving beyond being mere managers of others' creations and focusing on ownership and creativity. True progress comes when people are given the tools to innovate, to lead, and to create systems that benefit everyone. I think the message of unity and collective growth is more relevant than ever, especially as we continue to face global challenges. What would you envision as the first step toward building this unity?

 [13/02, 00:42] Gangunjah Nevadye: This  book discusses the inspiration behind the creation of a unique book titled "Maroon Book of Eulogies" authored by Fabian O'Neil Stennett. The author reflects on the influence of his favorite teacher, Iris Neonora Archer, who encouraged him to write a different type of book. Archer, who passed away in 2015, is remembered for her significant contributions to education and knowledge. The book aims to serve as a "video docu-Audio book," which not only puts Archer on a pedestal but also highlights the important yet often overlooked contributions of the Maroon community in Trelawny Town. The author emphasizes the need to recognize and document the achievements of individuals within this community that are typically absent from mainstream historical narratives. **Conclusions:** 1. The book is a tribute to both the author's mentor and the Maroon community, aiming to preserve their history and contributions. 2. It seeks to inno...
