Lawyer Janita Burke jokes that she has written a series of songs to celebrate the “twentieth anniversary of her 30th birthday”.

Do the maths.

She released the songs Rare, Be Different, Bloom and Thrive during Women’s History Month in March, which also happens to be her birthday month.

She is now preparing to release a fifth song, Unstoppable, to “empowHER” women.

Ms Burke is already known in the community for a number of songs including Somerset The Great and Hat Trick, both Cup Match songs that received extensive play on local radio.

Unstoppable was triggered by her attendance at the Mary Prince Entrepreneurial Leadership Conference last year.

She was so moved by main speaker Ibukun Awaosika, a Nigerian businesswoman, that she applied to attend the International Women’s Leadership Conference in Dubai, where Ms Awaosika was also a speaker.

The Bermuda Economic Development Corporation covered a portion of the trip to the Middle East for several Bermudian women.

“At first, my application was not successful” Ms Burke said. “Then at the last minute someone backed out and I was able to go.”

In Dubai, she saw music’s power to convey a message.

“At the beginning of the conference, Madame Awaosika used a song to settle herself,” Ms Burke said. “She felt quite flustered, which was unusual for her, because she has done these things so many times.”

As things got going, Ms Burke realised that much of the material speakers were using flowed nicely with the empowerment songs she had already written.

“Some of us did presentations about what we had taken away from the conference,” she said. “I said I wanted to write a theme song for this upcoming Mary Prince Women’s Conference.”

She has done just that for the event to be held on August 7 and 8 at Pier Six on Front Street in Hamilton, receiving a production grant from the Bermuda Arts Council to make the song.

Unstoppable honours four Bermudian women and four international women including abolitionist and author Mary Prince, lawyer Dame Lois Browne-Evans, women’s rights activist Gladys Morrell and Olympian Dame Flora Duffy.

International women in the song are: American abolitionist Sojourner Truth and Nobel Peace Prize winners Wangari Maathai, Malala Yousafzai and Mother Teresa.

“I wanted to honour the past, but also recognise some women from the present,” Ms Burke said. “There are some women who are doing unstoppable things right now.”

Unstoppable’s lyrics include: “Legacy and history are part of my identity/I choose to do life on my terms/Seek wisdom, understand and learn that life is not always fair or fun/But I’m from stock that overcomes.”

The song continues: “I choose to give more than I take/And I’m telling the world I am unstoppable/Grounded by my destiny and purpose.”

The song also touches on some of the women highlighted in it not always being appreciated for challenging the status quo.

“As women we sometimes have to set boundaries,” she said. “I am working on that myself.”

Unstoppable, now in the final stages of production, is performed by Ms Burke — under the name JB Psalm — Olivia Hamilton, Rickeesha Binns, Shardae Lee, Larrita Adderley Richards and Latosha Codrington. John Woolridge, of Just Platinum, is the producer.

Ms Burke is asking people to send in photographs of women who have inspired them, and a few words explaining how.

A special Mary Prince Day edit of Unstoppable will be posted on Ms Burke’s YouTube channel, @Kairos22productions, and sent to radio stations for play.

The complete song will be released on streaming platforms on August 7.
