- Hello Paulette,
I receive your hand of friendship with xcitement, and I look forward to life-enriching moments and interactions. I reckon I'm raised to 'raise a people of purpose and power.' I have a keen interest in Theology and philosophy ...other disiplines just don't satisfy. Have gone through your profile and can see we certainly have quite a lot in common and a lot to share. I hope to update my profile soon and also upload photos. I'm working on setting up a charity - my life's project- in Sierra Leone now. More on that later. Meantime,thank you for choosing me.

- I Paulette, Thank you for accepting my membership. There are a few things that I am involved with at the moment, that I didn't state on the form. I am a Gospel/Soul artist and I also teach vocals. I am involved in a local Bible school for children and also a local nursury.
I have Led Choirs both for colleges and schools. I am now on my third album. The first album, 'My God Mon Ami', was nominated for an award and that has opened the doors for me to work with some of Britain's top musicians. I am now working on a video project with Roger Eaton, who is a top film maker and fashion photographers. I look forward to networking with you.
God bless
Owen Deacon.

Professor Gus John-BUC Executive said… - Hi, Paulette
Thanks for your very warm welcome. I trust that I can add value to what BUC has done thus far and assist in unlocking the potential of the dynamic and multi-skilled membership of BUC. Given the many and severe challenges we face in an increasingly globalised and competitive world, we need to ensure that we stem the ineffectiveness that our historical atomisation as a people has engendered. Still many mountains to climb, but we are inspired by the advances of those who went before us to do what we must do in our generation. We have a lot to do but I am satisfied that we have the capacity and the determination to do it.
Peace and Progress. GJ
