James Places Second In Diamond Cup In UK
Hafid James recently competed in the Diamond Cup held in the United Kingdom, earning second place in his class and third place in the IFBB Elite Class Championships.
This marked his last competition for 2016, following recent international finishes of first [twice], second [twice], and third [once].
“The last few shows have been very tough but my achievements are a blessing. I have to thank my coach, Carmichael Bryan, and Sergio White of Positive Results; Cecil Mitchell, the Grenada Bodybuilding Federation President; and my sponsor, the amazing Kara of Kara’s Kitchen, for preparing my meals all year round,” he said.
“I would like to specially thank my mother, Marian James, and my brother, Shae James, who did their best to ensure I was raised in a loving and safe environment. Sadly, not everyone can say they had this sort of childhood.”
“Child Sexual Abuse is real and so are the long-term effects on victims. This is a subject we do not talk about or want to believe it happens but it does. We tend to see and judge individuals for who they are or what they are doing but it is not often that we wonder what is the root of their behaviour.
“Research has shown that some effects of child sexual abuse range from drug addiction to anti-social behaviour to self-harming among others.
“I am no expert in this field but, luckily, we have an amazing programme called ‘SCARS’, ran by the lovely and passionate Debi Rivers, which offers necessary education about child sexual abuse. I believe anyone who has a connection with children would find the courses informative and valuable.
“The children of Bermuda have immense potential so let’s protect their childhood to protect their future.”
