TREVOR DAY SCHOOL / 61 have traveled to and danced in most of the major Carnival celebrations in North America and throughout the Caribbean but there's nothing like being in Trinidad for Carnival. Work, life, and COVID have kept me from Trinidad for the past few years, but God willing I will be home for carnival in 2025. I also just love any opportunity to connect with my culture. I'm an avid traveler, and I'm always going to choose a spot where there's a cultural connection. I tend to travel close by for convenience, but I went to Ghana last summer, and it was my first time in Africa. It was such a moving experience, so I am now committed. I must explore as much of the continent as I can and reconnect. I'm going to Egypt in December, and then my goal is to hit at least two African countries annually for the next five years. That's my minimum. I always said I would have a major 50th birthday celebration on a beach in South Africa. It's shocking how quickly the years fly by. I have to start planning soon! Trevor: What's your outlook for the future? Ayesha: The day that I'm out of work will be a beautiful thing. When we have too many judges. When we have so few cases. Increasingly, I feel that society relies too much on the courts. People are too quick to rely on us for the solution, especially in family court. I'm often telling parents, "This is your kid. Go talk to your kid outside. Fix these things!" I'm up for reelection in two years and plan to pursue another term, but at another point in life, I could see myself doing something different—like being a community coach or working in alternative dispute resolution. Helping people to rebuild that skill set; helping people learn how to problem- solve on their own, within their own communities. I'm deeply interested in the field of restorative justice that's helping people learn to heal and repair harm. The ones who committed the harm, as well as those who were harmed—everyone's harmed. How do we make the community whole again? If there's going to be a next thing, then I'd love to find myself in one of those spaces. n I N S I D E T R E VO R T R E VO R T R A N S L AT E S F E AT U R E A R T I C L E S A L U M N I
