About Me

Island Waves.C4: Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Bahamas; The Community Centre was founded by Garnell Limperes Stuart on October, 2011. Garnell is the daughter of the late Patti Limperes and Garnett Stuart. She found that the healthiest and most effective way of expressing herself was through poetry and music. As a child, she spent many hours at the David Adler Cultural Center in Illinois, where she learned how to play classical piano, went to summer art classes, and felt a sense of belonging with other peers with the same passions. Garnell wanted build a family orientated network where there would be strong values that promote the teachings of empowerment and unity. Within weeks of the opening of Island Waves, a board was formed. With the hard work, determination, motivation and support from community members, Island Waves has organically formed into a safe, soulful and loving environment for people of all ages that goes in numbers every day. "INDIVIDUALLY, WE ARE ONE DROP. TOGETHER, WE ARE AN OCEAN."

Patti Limperes: The Roots of Island Waves

Greetings! ISLAND WAVES was created from the dream of the youth who believed in the powerful impact of strength in numbers to make positive change. They originated from a family island in the Bahamas called Abaco. Back in the mid 1970's, the idea of unity despite color, race, or social status was planted in the community, the youth events were nourished with love and creativity, and grew as families came together and embraced their natural given talents with the direction of a young lady named Patti Limperes. Patti was a math and music teacher at Abaco Central High School back when the school was located in Spring City. By the 80's, the school had transferred to a settlement called Murphy Town. In 1991, she passed away from breast cancer. Although she was greatly missed, she left behind an impact in the community so great that her past students, their children and grandchildren, her fellow teachers, and individuals in the community have once again come together to rekindle the fire that remained simmering in so many souls ... for those of you who knew her, and for those whose lives she is just now entering , let's all take a moment and reflect on what has just been shared, and prepare to enter a world of empowerment...

"Light up A Corner. That alone can change the world. Just be clear where you are."
