After 5 month inactive, The cada de la Cultura appointed me to reopen it together with Arelys Collado. The Cultura Center was openes almos 100 years ago by the Afro and Bribri fishing community so that thy could bring an English teacher from nearby Limón. It is called Marcus Garvey in honor of the leader of the Black Star Line movement.Today it is vibrant cultural center where the multicultural community oganizes all types of activities sever days of the week.

I also produce for Somos Talamanca, an initiative by women enterpreneurs who know that claiming our multuethix¡c identities and recognizing their strength is critical for yout the emerge as leaders in a deep cultural experience that highlights that there is only one such place in the world.
¨Talamanca, true paradise, an incredible and protected place. Talamanca, where you can enjoy the exuberant nature, the beautiful beaches and the indigenous territories full of mysteries. We are Talamanca will help you find everything you need for a good stay. We have gastronomic treasure. Try the different specialties: Caribbean, indigenous, European, American cuisine. Dance to the rhythm of the calypso, salsa, traditional drum. Enjoy 90% of protected territories where animals are everywhere.
Meet extraordinary people who have remained authentic and welcome you with open arms. Here you will not find large tourist complexes. No big companies. The vast majority of companies are managed by families. To give you a very personalized attention.
At present I was just elected Vice President of the Centro Comunitario de Buceo Ambassadors of the Sea where four of my children and nephews – all young – have learned to dive with a purpose, discovering untold stories of sunken ships burried in the ocean waters. They are becoming underwater archeology advocates.
They are in the verge of proving the identity of two sunken Danish slave ships that landed by nautical mistake here in Costa Rica´s Caribbean. Upon their arrival some 650 African men, women and children were freed in the shores even though they were destined to be enslaved in St Thomas in the presente day USA Virgin Islands.
I am going to create a program where this youth that is making history, will develop their self while making the most out of new oportunities that are being opened to them in such groundbreaking work.
