be a leader and example setter. This kind of responsibility has prepared him for his current role as a young adult civil rights leader, social activist and community leader. Some of Ras’ notable achievements are: volunteering with an after school program, serving as a Youth Advisor for the Bahamas Urban Renewal Development Program, Bain Town, (which is a Government-implemented program that serves to better the lives of the underprivileged, uneducated, financially-challenged and those who live in areas that are deemed as “slums” or “ghettos”, such as “Bain Town”) and he has also spare-headed a literacy program at a local Junior High. When Ras is lucky enough to find free time between all of his hard work, he spends it traveling, reading, swimming or writing. He has even had enough time to start working on his first book. “I’m writing somewhat of a ‘tell-all’ book about my experiences with love last year, and I am also working on establishing my own media company, but this won’t be for a while, as I have quite a few wrinkles that I need to iron out first.” At the end of it all, this 22-year-old Bahamian male is making something of himself: going to college and getting involved within the community. He has big plans for the future of The Bahamas, and will do whatever it takes to truly keep The Bahamas as “the best place on Earth”. He urges all Bahamians, especially his peers and future generations of The Bahamas to, “be the change you want to see”. With “failure” being his biggest fear, Ras is surely on the path to greatness, carrying the weight of his nation on his shoulders to higher heights.
