ABOUT US

Growing up in the Caribbean, my childhood memories are a mix of family events, food and music all culminating in the collective experience of our culture. When I moved to the Unites States (circa 1999) I had no idea the strong role culture would play in my identity journey. Now as my children have their own questions, and own self discovery process, I am sharing and dedicating this to them.

I am starting this platform to offer a resource to the next generation, the Caribbean diaspora being raised globally, changing the palettes of their new home countries. Knowledge of your history and your ancestral lives are powerful tools for your development. My dream is to create something lasting and educational for the experience of Caribbean culture.
