WASHINGTON, D.C., March 17, 2021 — Having been officially ratified by the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) as its candidate for the Golden Gates constituency in New Providence, Pia Glover-Rolle introduced a brief commentary on her Facebook page with this Sheryl Sandberg quote that arrested my attention: “Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence, and making sure this impact lasts in your absence.”
I decided to share her comments with readers of BAHAMAS CHRNONICLE and in doing so encourage other candidates in the upcoming general election to consider using the public relations services of THE BROWN AGENCY LLC and my online publication BAHAMAS CHRONICLE to assist in promoting your campaigns.
BAHAMAS CHRONICLE was launched after my diplomatic tenure as Press, Cultural Affairs and Information Manager at the Embassy of The Bahamas in Washington, D.C. ended after four-plus years following the change of government in The Bahamas in May of 2017. We have a huge following in The Bahamas, especially in Grand Bahama, as well as among Bahamians and nationals of other CARICOM-member countries in the diaspora across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Our rates are very affordable, and I really think that BAHAMAS CHRONICLE can be an extremely effective medium in promoting your campaigns. I can be contact at oswaldb317@gmail.com.
Here’s what Mrs. Glover-Rolle wrote:
“It is with a profound sense of gratitude that I, Mrs. Pia Glover-Rolle, offer myself as a servant to the people of the Golden Gates constituency, having been ratified as a new candidate of the Progressive Liberal Party.
I am a wife, mother, community activist, and nation builder who pledges to put the needs of the people of Golden Gates first while upholding the pillars of Empowerment, Education and Enterprise. I am humbled by the party’s confidence in me to help fulfill its mandate and I pledge to be the hardest working member of parliament that Golden Gates has ever seen. Together, we will elevate this great community to heights unseen before!
All praise goes to Almighty God and may He abundantly bless the fine people of the Golden Gates constituency.”
