Meet Senator Kaygianna Toussaint Charlery. Operations Manager of the Goodwill Fishermen's Cooperative a post which she has served in for over a decade, and Administrative Assistant of the Saint Lucia Fisherfolk Cooperative Society Limited.
Kaygianna is constantly advocating for change in the fishing sector, and she gives voice to both the plight and achievements of the fishing sector in her beloved island of Saint Lucia.
As a Parliamentarian, she always tries to provide a perspective on the bills and motions from the lens of the average man, the small-scale Fisher, those who need someone to help them articulate their plight.
She continues to work tirelessly to see change within the industry and constantly uses best practices from the other islands in both decision-making and solving problems as they come up.
At every given opportunity to continue to comment on the contribution that the fishing sector makes to the country's economy, both informally and formally, and pushes sure greater recognition of the Fisher by the Fisher him/ herself and by the powers that be. " Fishers have to first respect themselves and recognize that they are valuable, especially when it comes to food security in our small islands". It is her belief that fishers should come together to advocate for collective recognition and change.
