WELCOME TO THE UK :
Episode #1
Growing up in the UK as a Black British Caribbean girl, I was fortunate to feel a strong sense of belonging. My primary school was predominantly white, yet being part of a Catholic community instilled in me a sense of shared identity we were all
“Made in the image and likeness of God.”
That message resonated with me and created a space where I felt seen and valued. At home, my pride in my Caribbean roots runs even deeper. With family reaching across different parts of the Caribbean, our heritage is ALWAYS present through
The STORIES
The MUSIC
The FOOD
That dual identity never felt like a conflict. Instead, I’ve always known who I am, and more importantly, I’ve always felt like I belonged xx
P.S : I cant believe sanitary products aren’t free and Ketchup is up to £5🤣🤣 sort it out !!!
CAN YOU RELATE ?
Yes
Kind Of
No
