In an exclusive interview with Stephon D. Mactavious, President of the Dream Big Group, he stated that the event is something that he has always been interested in hosting in order to motivate and bring smiles to the territory.

In addition, Mr Mactavious expressed that he wants persons to see the Dream Big Group as more than just a group.

“I want people to see it as a movement, something powerful. Everyone has a dream or an aim that they want to achieve and I believe that some people need a little dusting off at some point in their life because life happens and people get comfortable with certain things,” explained Mr Mactavious.

He continued, “Dream Big is basically like a plug for every single one that has a dream and needs to know how to speak it into existence. We want to be able to provide a bone back to the territory and even to the rest of the world.”

President of Dream Big Group indicated that the Billionaire P.A. is “really, really anxious and happy” to come to the Virgin Islands (VI).

"Not just another 'Stop the Violence' event" - Stephon D. Mactavious

Mr Mactavious pointed out to our newsroom that he does not want persons to see this event as just another Stop the Violence event.

“I don’t want people to see this as another stop the violence event. I remember a time where I wasn’t hearing any of these things and I felt safer walking the streets but now I have to be careful. We are just trying to motivate, inspire and empower people to go beyond this violence and start speaking dreams into existence," said the President of Dream Big Group.

Meanwhile, he disclosed that the Dream Big Group has 21 members while noting that he was very selective in choosing the members. “I chose people who have been there done that and have something to share.”

The Dream Big Group along with Billionaire P.A. will be visiting Her Majesty's Prison Rehabilitation Unit on Monday, April 30, 2018.
