In an opinion piece published on 21 April 2026, Chrystal Charles introduced the first entry of her new series, Thoughts, Prayers and Poems, addressing residents of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Calling herself a Voice of Turks and Caicos, Charles released a written prayer urging the community to overcome timidity and embrace spiritual boldness.
Charles argues that the local populace has become gripped by fear, conformity, and distraction, choosing ease and comfort over integrity and truth. She laments that people remain silent before powerful figures and stray into compromise, asking God to remove fear and raise a collective courage that stands firmly on faith.
The narration of the prayer is available at tesspresents.com, while inquiries regarding advertising and orator contributions can be directed to tesscharlestci@gmail.com.
