Dr Kris Rampersad shares experiencing the village in the globe and returning the Globe to the Village About that Coonoomoonoou
Spread the love
Coonoomoonoou is largely misrepresented in online definitions. It is not so much stupid or foolish as it is reticent, shy, or invisible. The word is one our ancestors brought here with them from India, rooted in the Bhojpuri/Hindi coonuh moonuh, meaning ‘little baby’. It speaks less of deficiency than of being shy and as a result, overlooked, even trampled on or bullied!
I was therefore surprised when SEO, the new dictator of visibility, greenlighted this word from local parlance as the headline of this presentation on our village in the global village, after flagging my slang flavours all year!

Gifting the Village to the Global Tech Emperors
Perhaps my not-so-subtle buff (ahem) plea and call to action to the world’s Tech Emperors earlier this month to get with it and use their prowess to reverse the lingering damaging effects of the colonial mentality erasing our villages from global futures! Indeed, the responses to One Tech Minute to Reverse the Macaulay Minute was virtually instantaneous.
Humph! Would you believe that within days I received notice (among others) from Facebook informing me that my viewership was being increased? And this although I did not mentioning its jefe, Mark Zuckerberg, given my focus on the diaspora.

If ever there was proof of how visibility is manipulated by mighty algorithms, this was it.
That’s what actioning policy means. But these are just coonoomoonoo steps from these Giants of Industry, but more on snapping Emperors to attention as these Year in Review actions and achievements unfold!

Returning to Village from the Globe
After months of global trotting, through ancestral villages that, in many ways, seeded our own, I returned to my village to share the spirit of Christmas with the elderly.
It marked a full circle. Almost exactly a year ago, I had been called back to the same village to speak with preschoolers, sending them off to their “big schools.” Then, I had coddoodled those kiddies, instilling in them that they are smarter than a smartphone. From that encounter emerged the theme song for my technology advocacy which you must be enjoying in the backdrop to my videos: “Smarter Than a Smart Phone.”
Propelling into the Post Pandemic Planet past the diseased illformed and illfitting systems of the past
I cannot, nor should you, ignore what new technologies are doing to our village. Their impact on the elderly, on traditions, and on culture itself. As in my focus with the kiddies, I took the opportunity to not only share some of my experiences of returning some disappearing elements of culture in India, which we have preserved in the diaspora, but also my memories of growing up in the village and to egg on the Women’s Group who invited me on how to use these technologies, differently: to capture, safeguard, and transmit village memories; to preserve lived wisdom; and to build community Knowledge Banks, as I had pitched during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Home District Tones & Flavours (ahem) buffing!
Here is part-excerpt of my Christmas engagement with the elderly.
Will share the full version that includes the first movement of experiences of taking our Village into the Globe subsequently.

Of course, when delivered in the tone of local dialect flavours, the spoken version sounds somewhat different.
This represents the part of returning the globe to the village.
You know, almost exactly one year ago, I was called back to this same village school to speak to preschoolers who were graduating from here to go to “big school” across the road and elsewhere. Little children, just starting their life’s journey.
When I was growing up, our preschool was the Mandir and Pa’s gardens – some of my best memories and learning happened right here, before I started Big School across the road, which was a very different kind of learning environment, from this formal schooling, eh! And maybe that’s how it should be! You learn your family trade first!
Full Circle from PreSchoolers to District Elders
So today feels like a full circle. A year ago, speaking to infants setting off on their life’s journey. And now, here I am, closing this year by speaking to you seasoned seniors. And as elders, you understand better than anyone how all these experiences are connected.
Some of you might have heard my song song of mine, Smarter Than a Smart Phone. That song actually came out of that speech to the children last year. Who knows, maybe what we share here today might turn into a film, or a book, or something even bigger, because stories have a way of growing bigger and beyond us.
Dr Kris Rampersad shares experiencing the village in the globe and returning the Globe to the Village About that Coonoomoonoou
I want to turn away from my experiences, to yours, right here, in this village.
Heart & Mind of Districts
You are the heart and mind of this community. You are our people’s memory, yes, even if some memories feel a little faded! You carry knowledge of our roots and foundations.
The things you lived through, just everyday things, raising families, these are no small thing. Who nowadays could raise ten or twelve children? That is a whole dinner party in Europe, I discovered with plenty planning and anxiety. One my my friends in Europe when I was there, came to me panting and anxious that she is having a dinner party. How many people, I asked. Twelve she said. I said that is my family at breakfast, lunch and dinner growing up.
You did that every single day!

You may think it is a small thing, but it is no small thing! Your experiences working the land. Your struggles for acceptance.
How you and your families helped build this district.
Rooted in Culture & Traditions
Some of you may know Ma, how she kept rooted in culture. Some of you remember how she played dholak and led wedding songs at matikor, barahi, before DJs took over. Those are things we need to bring back, eh Women’s Group? Homework!
Today, instead of me talking to you, I would really prefer you talking to me. Telling your stories.
Some of you walk miles to school even barefooted, like we did in the first years ent?

Ent some of you sit next to the boy you didn’t know he would one day become our Prime Minister, whose name is on this preschool?
And gosh this irks me really, every time I walk in here so let me get it off meh chest before this year ends! School principal and teachers of this and the school across the road and the one on New Grant junction, how about changing the image of Sesame Street Ernie and Bert you have on the walls outside and putting instead the stalwarts of this village eh – Prime Minister Panday, and Frank who founded the preschool and Miss Olive and others for the school across the road.

People to Aspire To Become
Give the district’s children heroes and heroines they could be proud of! That is part of our traditions so we don’t erase them from our memories!
You know I wasn’t leaving here without giving you homework!
Ent most of you have cell phones. Use them for more than liking and sharing foolishness and bacchanal on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Use them to record your stories. Create what I call our Community Knowledge Bank.
Record family stories, the painful and funny moment. Record village characters, like drunken Bulio, falling into the drain and sleeping it off before he get up and head how, who remember him?
Teachers as Heroes & Heroines
The teachers who were the backbone of holding us up. Teacher Frank, who celebrating 60 years in community service and built this pre-school too! I remember my teachers Alex, and Randy and Ms Olive who shaped my early life!

I ask the Women’s group, the schools in the district, the mandir, mosque and the church to come together and bring the young people, your sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters and great grands and you share your stories and experiences of back in the de day, eh!
Remember When?
Remember how we cram-up in one car, dozens of us, to go to visit family, or visit Port of Spain or go to the beach.
And when we didn’t have transport to go to Princes Town, have to wait hours for the one taxi to return and didn’t mind being crammed like sardines. Shall I send a Memo to the Ministers of Finance, and Transport and about this new hefty fine for overcramming vehicles, eh? Lol! Indeed it had its social value in keeping us together in this cramped island space!
These are survival techniques, that the young people don’t know and hence they don’t know how to cope with life: How you stretched the dollar, shared clothes, and hand me down shoes.
Yes when we didn’t have lights, listening to stories like all of us and Bumpus family did nightly stories on Pa’s bed, when we didn’t have TV. It could rival Netflix anyday!
About growing up, traditions, the sad and even funny moments.
These will help us create a record for your children and grandchildren.
These stories show how resilient and accommodating and creative we can be!
I’d love for you to share your memories. There are so many things along with your experiences, so we can have a bank of the minds of our village that many generations can enjoy. As I have been encouraging our other districts across the region and across joint diasporas, to create!
Dr Kris Rampersad World Heritage Journey to World Heritage Blue and John Crow Mountains Jamaica
And congratulations to the Women’s Group for your work in holding this district together and making our elders continue to be engaged in meaningful ways. And I invite you to join be to lobby for a facility where we could contain the heritage of this and the districts around! We have the blue print! We need action now!
This end of year season is a time for reminiscing, so start now, this season when your family gather, and you could invite me from sorrel and gingerbeer, and my favourite black cake and curry goat and duck – yes, Tanty across the road, dey, The Parlour Lady, still make the best! Ent yuh know!
Like the engravings on the centuries old temple walls, you live forever through your stories!
And my cameras will be rolling for all of you who want to share your good cheer!
So Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and I wish you all the joys of your times ahead!
A Little Bit More About Me
Dr Kris Rampersad is confronting the perils of Artificial Intelligence with AuthenThink Intel & AI AnalyEthics & CEIBA-EDUtainment. She has more than 20 years’ experience as a Latin American & Caribbean-based global thought-leader, multilateral relations & knowledge sector strategist with expert knowledge of emerging issues from the media-new media & Information Technology environment, including AI & Data Science & close knowledge of the Global South & SIDS issues.Dr. Kris Rampersad is an internationally recognized Caribbean culture-and-development strategist whose work bridges heritage, gender, media, education, governance, and sustainable development. Her leadership roles within UNESCO and other multilateral systems place her among a relatively small cadre of global experts capable of connecting grassroots knowledge systems with international policy frameworks. T
his combination is comparatively rare and difficult to replicate because it represents decades of relationship-building across UNESCO, Commonwealth, OAS, EU-ACP, Caribbean, Latin American, and civil society systems.
Her accumulated social capital derives from more than t
hree decades of international networks, proven trust across governments, NGOs, academia, media, and communities, extensive experience strategising and negotiating between local and global systems, and a demonstrated ability to translate policy into public engagement while maintaining credibility across multiple sectors.She occupies a distinctive position among the relatively small number of internationally active specialists operating at the intersection of culture and heritage policy, gender mainstreaming, media and communications for development, multilateral diplomacy, sustainable development, and knowledge systems across the United Nations, Inter-American, Commonwealth, European, Caribbean, and Latin American spheres.Dr. Rampersad holds sustained intelligence and expertise in sustainable development for Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Caribbean and Global South development policy, strategic North-South engagement, knowledge-sector and knowledge-systems development, heritage tourism, creative and cultural industries, and gender-responsive governance.She is among the most internationally experienced practitioners in Caribbean culture and development policy, serving at a senior specialist level with unusual leadership experience for a Caribbean representative within UNESCO heritage and cultural policy. Her contributions have established her as a recognized regional change leader in gender and culture mainstreaming, a pioneer in communications for development, and a specialist with distinctive expertise in heritage tourism linked to sustainable development.Dr. Rampersad is among the relatively small cadre of Caribbean specialists whose work has influenced policy, strategy, and advocacy across UNESCO, Commonwealth, OAS, EU-CARIFORUM, and other multilateral systems, particularly in the fields of culture, gender, media, heritage, education, and sustainable development. She is internationally recognized as an expert and leading Caribbean thought leader functioning at the intersection of culture and sustainable development, heritage policy and safeguarding, gender mainstreaming, communications for development, the creative economy, heritage tourism, Global-to-Local (GloCal) development strategies, SIDS advocacy, intercultural education, and knowledge systems.She sits among the upper tier of specialists engaged in UNESCO, Commonwealth, OAS, and EU-ACP multisectoral initiatives, particularly in advancing global SIDS priorities through policy influence, participation in governance and development frameworks, intellectual leadership, and innovation. Her work has pioneered integrated culture-gender-media-development approaches and contributed to the evolution of GloCal, multimedia, and multisectoral engagement models. She is one of the Caribbean’s most visible culture-and-development advocates, with sustained regional impact and significant specialist recognition that extends well beyond conventional media visibility.
Her legacy potential resides in an extensive body of work with continuing relevance to contemporary policy and development challenges. Within global culture-and-development circles, her profile is closest to specialists who bridge policy and practice, culture and economics, heritage and development, and communications and governance, rather than fitting the mould of traditional academics or politicians.
Her professional profile is distinguished by the rare combination of roles as journalist, scholar, multilateral systems expert, policy strategist, Ethical AI analyst, heritage facilitator, gender specialist, educator, and multimedia innovator. Few specialists operate simultaneously across these domains while maintaining active engagement with UN agencies, UNESCO, Inter-American systems, the OAS, EU institutions, SIDS frameworks, and Caribbean regional mechanisms.
Among her areas of global distinction is leadership in cultural heritage and sustainable tourism. She has served as a UNESCO Executive Board member, President of the UNESCO Education Commission, Vice-President of the Programme and External Relations Commission, Independent Expert and Vice-Chair of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Consultative Body, and member of the UNESCO Heritage Facilitator Network.She is also a founding expert of the International Institute of Gastronomy, Culture, Arts and Tourism and Founder of Leaves of Life, Dr Kris Rampersad Knowledge Research Information Services & Resources and the GloCal Knowledge Pot.Dr. Rampersad is among the few global professionals who have simultaneously operated at community, national, SIDS, CARICOM, Commonwealth, and UN-UNESCO levels while maintaining an independent intellectual and professional profile. One of her strongest distinguishing features is her long-standing commitment to integrating gender equality, cultural diversity, heritage, media, education, and sustainable development into unified frameworks rather than treating them as separate sectors. This integrated approach has been a defining characteristic of her work across multiple international systems.
She is among the leading international experts in interconnected cultural heritage and is certified to prepare and review UNESCO nominations. She ranks among the most internationally experienced Caribbean culture-and-development specialists, sits within the upper international tier of Global SIDS cultural policy, heritage tourism, and creative economy specialists, and is recognized as a leading Caribbean authority on gender-culture policy integration. Her work also includes pioneer-level contributions to the development of the new media arena of communications for development, advancing innovative approaches to knowledge creation, transmission, public engagement, and sustainable social transformation.
She brings core experience of actively culling successful innovative global gender & culture sensitive initiatives, negotiating, analysing, critiquing & troubleshooting global developmental hiccups, building successful education & public awareness engagement strategies & programmes, developing creative & strategic information & outreach materials in technical to creative multimedia forms. Her insights and experience are applied to identifying gaps and silos from concept through planning, programme development and multi-stakeholder engagement to drive successful implementation across sectors, connecting the needs of local communities to institutional, national and global policy goals and targets.Dr Rampersad has led global think tank processes for developing global to local policies, matching budgets to programmes, developed progress reports for economic diversification and transformation of public sectors and for motivation of private and NGO sectors for interagency partnerships.She has further successfully led intersectoral engagement across social to industrial sectors as petroleum and clean energy, trade, tourism, agriculture, culture and education among others for international, intraregional, national and local public, private, NGO and intergovernmental arenas of agencies of the United Nations, European Union, Commonwealth, Organisation of American States, Caribbean Economic Community/CARIFORM along with international to local academic, media and NGO networks.
