"WEATHERING THE STORM" FROM LIBERTY LODGE TO UWI

EMMANUEL QUASHIE - "WEATHERING THE STORM" FROM LIBERTY LODGE TO UWI

“You will stumble at times and there will be setbacks, but you must… keep on pushing forward. It’s about weathering the storm and carrying on.”

This is the simple yet sage advice that Bequia resident Emmanuel Quashie is giving to anyone hoping to overcome adversity to achieve success.

Quashie recently graduated from the University of the West Indies (Mona Campus) with a First Class (honours) Bachelor’s degree in International Relations, and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Government at the same institution.

But the road to achieving all of this was by no means a bed of roses.

From a young age, Quashie experienced a somewhat nomadic life, being passed around from house to house by family and friends, because his mother had developed a mental illness, and was unable to care for him.
