Comment on How to Eat a Mango: Caribbean-Style by Duff Abraham

You are right about the many ways we Trinis prepare a mango and I remember being scolded by my niece from Missouri when she visited…You take a perfectly good fruit and ruin it with all that other stuff( referring to mango chow)..Hard to believe her mother was the one who used to lace my chow with pepper as a child and threaten me with excommunication from the family if I couldn’t stand the heat…Truth is though I think all those other forms of mango preparation we use are because of our impatience with the ripe fruit…As boys you would literally sit below a tree each day looking for the first signs of colour that said ripe and when pelting or picking with a rod you invariably pulled down some half ripe ones so with nothing to waste those go for chow chutney or currying..recycling before it was vogue. Get a good starch mango though and nothing beats the fun of biting a small slit into the tip softening the mango in your mouth and squeezing the juice and pulp into your mouth..Delightful

Tynisha, what a divine perspective on Power Suits..! The resources you have pulled together and elaborated on have given me renewed vigor on style within my profession. Being an attorney demands class, rather than dullness — and I hope to take some of your wisdom with me on my Spring shopping.
Much love!

Comment on Flash Fiction: 55 words or else! by Tynisha

I so got you at hello, but that 9% had me too curious. I love: “You pack clothes, but leave your good intentions behind.” So much to unpack there, and really the kind of thing to leave any reader wanting more. Nichelle, my dear, never stop. Write. Down. Everything!

89% is a reference to just how much the little one looks like the father. I wanted to juxtapose that fact with the father’s 0% involvement. I like the flash story idea. I guess I am a little behind, but short stories are something I have been working more on.
