Four laureates including Guyanese entrepreneur Andrew Boyle were inducted by the Anthony N Sabga Caribbean Awards for Excellence, at its first awards ceremony to be staged in Jamaica on Saturday night.
Held at the Pegasus Hotel, the Caribbean Awards have been in existence since 2005.
According to a release from ANSA, Boyle recalled his origins in a remote region of Berbice and urged the audience to “don’t forget how to dream”, as dreams had brought him to the success he enjoyed. He and fellow awardee Dr Adesh Ramsubhag also thanked their communities and their parents for being instrumental in their formations.
The mothers of Boyle and Ramsubhag were present along with family members.
Other laureates included Jamaican Kei Miller, a poet and novelist who has won prestigious prizes, like the OCM Bocas Prize in 2017 in Trinidad.
