@TheMorrisonView I put the chocolate balls in the food processor sometimes if I can’t bother grater 🙈

Do u have to grater chocolate or u can boil it as is?

There is no legal requirement to have an email address, nor is there a requirement to have a cell phone or use certain apps. But our government and far too many corporations behave as though this is the case. It's a tremendous problem.

@BiggestBarry @ThisisPreki Sizzlin’ Grill at Sovereign to me Coppers if you’re feeling fancy

Where is the best burger in ksa? @ThisisPreki nuh bodda ansa, a nuh dat burgah mi mean.

It may be a utopian idea, but I also believe we need collective Caribbean heritage festivities. Like there should be a month (at least) when the flights are cheaper and the heads of government coordinate cultural events in select territories each year for all of us to enjoy. 1/2

Quick fact: Our beaches are protected by law. The Physical Planning Act (2002) ensures public access to every beach, and the Beach Control Act keeps the shores under the control of the state - so legally, non one can block anyone from reaching our beaches.

@uncle876 @BookOfCinz

@AJBplaymaker10 @theashrb I could pick up Irie FM in Santiago de Cuba and you can pick up Cuban radio stations at some places in St. Ann

Who dat

Fifteen Kalinago chiefs walked into a meeting with the British and French empires in 1660 and walked out with both sides agreeing the island was theirs. Their descendants still live there today. You just watched some of them dance. The Kalinago are the only native group in the Eastern Caribbean still around from before Columbus. Almost every other native group in the region was wiped out by European disease, slavery, displacement, or war. The Kalinago survived because they made Dominica too expensive to conquer. They had the land on their side. Dominica is mountainous and wild, full of dense rainforest. Kalinago warriors raided European ships and ambushed anyone who tried to land on the coast. After nearly two centuries of failed invasions, both empires finally gave up. They signed a treaty making Dominica officially Kalinago land. That deal lasted more than a hundred years. When Britain finally took the island in 1763, the Kalinago kept the rough east coast. They are still there. In 1903, Britain officially marked out the 3,700-acre territory, roughly six square miles. About 3,000 Kalinago live there today in eight small villages. The whole area runs by Kalinago rules. The land is shared and can only be sold to someone of Kalinago descent. Every five years, the Kalinago vote for their own chief and a six-member council to run the territory. Police based in Salybia keep order. They send their own representative to Dominica's parliament. Two Kalinago women lead Dominica today. Sylvanie Burton became the country's first female and first Kalinago president in October 2023. A year later, Anette Sanford was sworn in as the first female Kalinago chief in almost 400 years. The Kalinago's main traditional dance group is called Karifuna. The traditions they keep alive survived Spanish ships, French plantations, British soldiers, and Hurricane Maria, the 2017 storm that ripped the roof off almost every house in the territory.

@tenilleclarke1 Like can we charter a plane or something 😭

I might need to start a Caribbean travel club. These last few days have been so cool virtually hanging out with y’all, man… we have to do this in person. We rhel nice as a people. I want to be friends with everybody 😭🫶🏾

Correction: NaRRA is not law yet. For a bill to be enacted into law, it has to be passed in both the House and Senate in the same form, and then given royal assent by Charles Windsor's representative. The NaRRA bill hasn't yet passed the Senate.

27/ The real lesson from Bengal is this: environmental safeguards exist for a reason. Regulatory bodies exist for a reason. When politicians override experts because the law lets them, they can be right. But when they're wrong, forests burn, water sources dry up, and it takes half a decade in court to fix it.

22/ The Bengal ruling matters here because it proves something: when ministers use legal powers to override expert environmental bodies, courts can and will step in. But court challenges take years. The Bengal case took over five years. Not every community has the resources, the lawyers, and the stomach for that fight.

Thank you Caribbean cousins in plantain, mas and rum. Ya’ll made my TL got a reprieve from the doom and gloom of the world.

acho isso tão lindo!!! e pensar que muitos nao tiveram a oportunidade de viver com seu cabelo natural na escola, é uma conquista tão recente

It’s Kalinago territory. The Carib name was imposed on them by their colonizers. This was changed officially in 2015 to Kalinago the name they have always referred themselves as. We value our indigenous people & would like to always treat them with respect.

This is no longer a competition This is a celebration of our cultures and countries The opening of the door if you will All of us just embracing the uniqueness of every island The real enemy is high travel costs

Parliament is still going on at this blessed hour
