“I am super excited about the launch of the color photo edition of A Sea of Wisdom, Island Proverbs - Jamaica. I call it my “little but tallawah” pandemic travel companion, because "tallawah" means powerful in the Jamaican dialect. In one sentence a proverb can encapsulate centuries of experience. Proverbs offer food for the mind and soul and life lessons to live by. They make us stronger and more resilient.” Ingrid Walter
A former award-winning journalist and communications specialist whose work experience spans politics, television, radio, print and e-media, Ingrid is available for Black History Month events, presentations to students, companies and organizations, print, radio, television and e-media interviews.
