we are all mirrors in fragmentation. what happened to you is happening to someone else, some place else, at some different point in time. life is just a big reflection, in many pieces.

Hi so there is much talk on the TL. If you’re interested in a more-in-depth analysis of race and race relations in the Caribbean I complied a short list of texts and readings that I’ve collected over the years that discuss the topic.

All those “romanticising trinidad” tik toks are actually a really important exercise in learning to see familiar places from new perspectives. When we’re taught to only consider specific parts as beautiful or noteworthy we lose out on seeing the richness in front our eyes.

Ahh yes the narrative is being constructed. Let’s throw the spotlight on those naughty protestors who aren’t “showing up” instead of the real problem at hand which is addressing the core factors contributing to crime and whether what the TTPS is doing is helping the situation.

Don’t ever tell me police brutality doesn’t exist in Trinidad when three men are shot and killed by the TTPS off of little to no evidence just “coincidentally” after a police officer was shot in the area.

And he was a past president of The Family Planning Association. So again, NOWHERE, in Trinidad are women, girls and children safe from sexual violence.
According to the charges, Elias, owner of NH International, which has several contracts with the Government, is accused of meeting with the 17-year-old girl.
On November 21, 2019, it is alleged that Elias, of Fairways Maraval, penetrated the child.

caribbean governments show time and time again that foreign investment is worth more than their islands’ heritage, nature, culture and people. neocolonial capitalism gonna do it damn best to sink we all.
Saint Lucia is at risk of losing its unesco world heritage status.
The head of the development control authority is who allowed that Canadian family (Rossi owners of dollarama in Canada) to build on Saint Lucias pitons…
They lost the case against the family unfortunately.

tbh the more carnival is commercialized as an extended festival party package the more we’re going to see instances of it being divorced from its roots. revelry without cultural grounding is just an opportunity to wild out lbr.

The loss of social connection and being able to experience life with others is deeply painful.
You can’t run away from it. Let yourself miss people and places and things. Be angry. Be sad. Be frustrated.
Grieve what you’ve lost.

The government doesn’t advertise programs tho, like people literally don’t know they exist. You have an awareness problem and then is it even accessible after that? And where are the structures to assist the transition of knowledge to employment after that?
Citizens who are unemployed or living in poverty should not blame the Government but instead take advantage of the many free educational programmes that are available, says Sport and Community Development Minister Shamfa Cudjoe.
