AN ACCLAIMED CULTURAL ARTS PRACTITIONER, author and actress has received Barbados’ second highest honour in this year’s Independence Day Awards.
Octogenarian Cynthia Wilson has been awarded the Companion of Honour (CHB) for distinguished national achievement and merit, capping almost five decades of performing, directing, teaching, writing, administrating and activism.
The cultural luminary was pleased with her award.
“I really appreciate the fact I was awarded. It is really good to be recognised. I have had a lot of awards over the years but the last one from Government, the Barbados Service Star [in 1992], was many years ago. I am blessed and accept the award with a deep sense of satisfaction,” she told the DAILY NATION. (HLE/CA)
