Yoruba ancestors knew of this concept centuries ago called "agedegbe meji aiye ati ọrun".
I'm asking again, how much of our ancestral knowledge was destroyed and bastardized by colonialism?

Its all coming together now 🖤🇹🇹
Visit Trinidad@exploretrinidad
Our next photographer feature is the talented Nicholas Walker (@nwalker_34), who has an eye for capturing our vibrant Trinbago with incredible detail. Walker shares more about his story with us. “I went to St. Mary’s College. While there, I played and won an intercol championship, which landed me on the national team. Through travelling and playing, I had 8 different scholarship offers before I settled and decided I should go to school. There, I won a few championships, which saw me get drafted into the MLS (Major League Soccer) in 2014. In 2018, I came back to Trinidad and Tobago, and in 2019, I became certified as a tour guide and started my hiking business. From there, I introduced photography to my clients, where I would hire a photographer, and one day he couldn’t come, so I borrowed a camera to do it myself without any experience in the field and fell in love with it. Fast forward years later, and here I am.” Photo / Video Credit: Nicholas Walker #VisitTrinbago #TrinidadAndTobago #AlwaysInSeason #visitTrinidad

The biggest skip of this Speed Tour is Tobago. Tobago woulda been a movie. Besides the obvious natural beauty, there is so much culture and cuisine on that island. Tobagonians are just quiet and reserved people and they are not loud so a lot of people don't know enough about it.

Certainly a model that @edmundbartlett6 can look at. By the way NYC does this too including hiring Dancehall and Soca artistes to perform at free concerts during the warmer months.
Negril’s chamber of commerce can explore whether this could assist with the loss of Dream Weekend.

Shakira played a free show on Copacabana beach last night to a crowd of 2 million. Rio's city government paid $4 million to put it on. The city is expecting around $155 million in return. The whole thing is a tourism program called "Todo Mundo no Rio," which means "Everyone in Rio." Every year through 2028, the city books one massive pop star for a free show on Copacabana. The city built it to fill hotels in May. That month sits between Rio's two peak tourism windows, and bookings would otherwise dip. The first two years proved the model. Madonna's 2024 show pulled in 1.6 million people, and the local economy got about $60 million out of it. Lady Gaga came in 2025, drew 2.1 million, and brought in $109 million. Both weekends, the city's hotels were packed. Shakira is on track to top them both. Rio's economic office is projecting around $155 million in spending at hotels, restaurants, taxis, and shops, plus another $250 million worth of news coverage worldwide that the city would otherwise have to buy through ads. About 310,000 of last night's crowd flew or drove in from outside Rio. Airline bookings to the city were up 80% the week of the show compared to the same week in 2024. Hotels were full. When the previous mayor was asked whether spending public money on a free Lady Gaga show was a good idea, he didn't dance around it. Yes, he said. He'd done the same for Madonna. The reason was simple: the shows fill the hotels and the restaurants, and the tax money rolls in. 2 million people is about the population of Paris. They were all standing on a 4-kilometer (2.5-mile) stretch of beach. The setup ran 16 video and audio towers down the coast so the back rows could still see and hear. The city is generating roughly $40 of economic activity for every $1 of public money it puts in. They're doing it again in 2027.

Quiet as it’s kept.. yh. I’m not sure why the term upsets yall.
No we don’t use it commonly, it’s mostly used in academic and international spaces. but it’s a very unproblematic, self explanatory term.
Black folks from the Caribbean. What’s hard
Ashley@undamipengting
It's very interesting to me that Black Caribbean people have an issue with the term AfroCaribbean but no one bats an eye at IndoCaribbean. Like why are y'all spiraling?
