By Meegan Scott

The Community of Practice (CoP), for Caribbean Immigrant Entrepreneurs is pleased to announce Journalist, Educator, and Writer Marvin Hokstam and the Hox Projects as our newest partners.

Marvin will ensure entrepreneurs of Dutch Caribbean heritage in the Diaspora― will be connected to the Community of Practice and that the CoP will speak the language of the Dutch Caribbeans at home and abroad.

That he is committed, and has hit the ground running is demonstrated by his sharing of information about the CoP with members of the Black and Caribbean Community in the Netherlands through the “Say It Loud Afro Magazine”.

Marvin is no stranger to leading initiatives for facilitating the social and economic development of the Caribbean, and Black Communities.  He founded Devsur (Suriname’s only English language news web site) and served as correspondent to the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) for ensuring the people of Suriname would be kept up to date on happenings in other CARICOM member countries and vice versa.

From his adopted home―Holland, he serves as a connector of the Black, and Caribbean Communities; and is a freelance journalist on migrant matters, to the AD Haagsche Courant.

Earlier this year Marvin was elected to the Black Member Council of the British, National Union of Journalists.

Marvin has served as editor to the Today News and Journalist to the Daily Herald, as well as in Communications Consultant roles.  He is the owner of the media consultancy Hox Projects (www.hox.one).

Mr. Hokstam hails from Suriname, and has lived in St. Maarten.  Marvin, has a solid education in journalism, including a post graduate degree in Marketing, Communications, and Journalism from Bournemouth University.

I’m sure you’ll join me in extending a hearty welcome and best wishes to Marvin as he acts to open and connect the Dutch Caribbean Diaspora to the CoP; and its markets to CoP members; and their markets to the Dutch Caribbeans in the Diaspora.

Raise your likes, comments, and Salute to Marvin!

 

The Community of Practice for Caribbean Immigrant Entrepreneurs

Posted on by

community of practice for Caribbean entrepreneurs, High performance Caribbean Immigrant Entrepreneurs, Worldwide Caribbean Diaspora Markets

The Community of Practice for Caribbean Immigrant Entrepreneurs (CoP) is not a regular Facebook Group. Our day-to-day meeting hub is housed on the platform of a Facebook Group.  And that serves our purposes perfectly for a number of reasons that you will experience for yourself when you join the CoP.

The CoP, also known as the High-Performance Immigrant Entrepreneurs’ Ring is a knowledge sharing, market, and research hub. At the core of the CoP are relationships of trust, information sharing, active research, dissemination of research findings, bridges to markets, creation of new market spaces, promotion of entrepreneurs and their stories for Caribbean Immigrant Entrepreneurs and Entrepreneurs with Caribbean Roots in all of the Region’s Diaspora Markets.

It is a coming together for learning, sharing, collaborating, selling, knowledge building, resource mobilization, and skills share in the area of Caribbean Entrepreneurship and success strategies for our immigrant entrepreneurs.  Among the outcomes of the CoP are improved financial results and growth of member networks (As we help each other to become more competitive in foreign markets), increased levels of robust, and realistic market research among members. But those are just some of the outcomes that we will deliver.

At a higher level we will increase research on the pathways, and processes for growing successful Caribbean Immigrant businesses in host countries in Europe, North America, The Middle East, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa.

The Caribbean entrepreneurial experience will be boosted; and the levels of trust and collaboration among members, researchers, and other support partners will certainly help us to growth our businesses within our communities worldwide. All other groups have relied on their communities to grow their businesses and it is time for us to catch up.

While you are encouraged to promote your business and services in the CoP, participation in discussions, research, workshops, and sharing of advice and tips are a must for maintaining your membership in the group. Give generously and receive generously.

We have been building models of business growth, and for strengthening the capacities of our entrepreneurs on the findings of research done for other communities with more entrepreneurial experience than us. It is time to change that to generate insights needed to develop right solutions for us.  The CoP is open to new members, partners, and leadership team members.

Coming this September, CoP Strategy Update planning meeting, join now to have your say.

Get on board to create the change you want to benefit from today!
