Dear Bibi,
Allow me to commend you for the work you are doing in providing us constantly with news of this island most other news-outlets refuse to do.
Especially, you should be commended considering the fact that as a woman, a mother and a wife the toll on you to execute your work as an independent, investigative journalist can be very 'demanding' to say the least.
Complicating matters even more is that you, unlike me are not a native of this country, although you are married to one and have your nationality papers as well.
Although, you are not the only non-native St. Martin journalist, you stand out in terms of being independent, courageous and objective in your reporting.
Not only that.
People like myself are very grateful to you for publishing articles and issues other news-papers often times refuse to do.
Therefore, your work is an enormous contribution towards free speech, especially for those hurting and not being able to have their stories told.
While my website, www.stmartinnation.org, is in the process of being re-organized, I look forward, in the best interest of free speech, to continue our co-operation in the best interest of the people of this land.
We can do such, without agreeing on all issues or not, but focusing on 'spreading the news'.
Thanks once more.
With respect,
Leopold James
President SNBF & L'Esprit de Concordia
