MORGAN HERITAGE will this Saturday travel to Harlem, New York, where they will be part of a Health and Fitness Expo for Children.
Roy Morgan, a.k.a. 'Gramps', group member, said that their publicist had recently sent out some promotional pictures and the promoters of the Health Expo saw them and felt that they looked fit.
"They think that we look pretty healthy and in shape as Rasta people, and they want us to come and say something, speak on obesity and perform. And a long time Rasta a talk 'bout eating healthy and anytime it come to something like that, we are for it. I don't smoke herb, don't drink, because I use to play football and from dem time deh mi health-conscious," he said.
Saturday's expo is being put on by Body Sculpt of New York, Inc. in association with Harlem Center Police Athletic League (PAL) and the Harlem YMCA.
The Health Expo will also see live entertainment from the R&B singer Glen Lewis. A variety of invited celebrity and sports figures are also expected to be in attendance including Harlem's own Doug E Fresh, former New York Knicks player Cal Ramsey; NBA Hall of Fame star, Earl 'The Pearl' Monroe, and others.
The organisers say the main purpose of this event is to provide a forum and collective space where parents and children can obtain viable information and feasible solutions to the ongoing obesity epidemic in the U.S.
more than a year of marriage, Franklyn says she and her partner are now best friends. "We still have a long way to go, but I thank God for where we are at now," she said.
Franklyn says there is nothing wrong with dreaming big, because if she was not a dreamer she may not have made it to where she is now.
"As a young girl growing up in the ghetto, I was taught so much negatives and heard it spoken over my life, but look what God has done," she said. Immediately, a song named Each Time, which Franklyn herself had written, came to mind.
Each time you call my name and talk of me
God is listening
Each time you do the things you do to me
God is watching
I'm just reminding you
Now, Chevelle says she is beginning to see the fruits of her labour, as good friends, a family and purposeful career surround her.
For example, Chevelle pointed out that she has fabulous neighbours who took care of her home during Hurricane Ivan, as she was not in the island. "I was in England and it's rare that people look out like that and I thank God for my neighbours, Joanne Archibald and Carole Budhlall," she said.
Franklyn says that for some time she has had the inspiration to establish a special home for young girls, but it will all happen in God's perfect timing.
"I want to have a special home where young girls can come and be exposed to the love of God. All some of them need is a hug or a kind and encouraging word," she said.
Until then, Chevelle says she wants to just encourage Christians to be bold and move forward in faith.
"I believe that God is speaking loudly to His people, to stop being afraid of the things that cannot hurt them. Fear is what is keeping the body of Christ from moving with authority. Fear stops us from operating in our purpose. Everybody is waiting for God to do something, but actually God is waiting for us to do something. God wants us to position ourselves and to come into more revelation of who He is and what He is doing," she said.
