To all my Bahamians responding to this. Just a point of clarification: Black Americans do not consider anyone who is.. uh… black/of African descent born outside of USA to be black. They think the only black people are Black Americans. Hope this helps. Let’s stop responding to

So I in Vegas. Just checked into my hotel and gone straight to the bar. I order my drink and the bartender say “wait where u from?” I reply “The Bahamas” then he says “Which island?” bey I knew this had to be a Bahamian cuz nobody ever knows to ask that. Sure enough he from FPO
I love when Bahamians is a approach me with “Lemme give you this joke” cuz
(1) I know I in for a wild ride.
(2) Rarely is it ever a joke so much as a story of someone/something who did somethin outta pocket
If I have an appointment for 3:15 why can’t I be seen at 3:15?! That goes for doctors, hair stylists, make up EVERYBODY. Why y’all can’t get y’all appointment/ scheduling systems together??

One of the reasons I chose to do my PhD at UWI and not outside of the region is because the great [Caribbean] thinkers, cultural and literary giants, impactful and action oriented scholars are only one degree of separation away. Some of them I’ve had the opportunity to meet.
The one thing I’ve learned over the last year is to not make personal sacrifices for the benefit of another.
Cuz rarely will they do the same in return. And when you there struggling thru they out living their best life because of your sacrifice.
We regret our recent post celebrating The Bahamas' 51st independence anniversary which mistakenly featured an incorrect flag. We sincerely apologize to the Government and people of The Bahamas for this oversight.
We honor the country as it celebrates 51 years of independence.
Okay finally an answer. No one has ever taken any time to explain. I get it now. It’s still confusing for black people who are not American tho. When you say black it’s synonymous with race everywhere else & even in the USA tbh.
Black for Black Americans refers to our collective ethnicity. When other groups call themselves "Black" and try to insert their culture and customs in "Black culture" when it only refers to us, it erases us...A Haitian is Haitian & their culture is Haitian culture etc.
My American friends: I’m coming to visit you. What are ticket prices like?
Me: *transforms into Google cuz clearly their hand break* high 200s to mid 300s depending on where you coming from and when
Them: 2 go 2 (The) Bahamas?! I don’t wanna come anymore
Me: Okay if you break…
“They come here and say they have made a lot of money in England, or the US and Canada, and they are looking to retire and want to invest in The Bahamas,” he said.
Lmao they never want to INVEST IN. They want to exploit and take advantage of.
World renowned playwright, actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry made a visit to the Office of the Prime Minister where he spoke about his connection to The Bahamas. And... is there a possible collaboration in the works between The Bahamas and the famous filmmaker?
My dictionary must be broken cuz the definition of affordable is not Venetian West. I know u out of tune with reality but are u aware of avg salaries in The Bahamas?
A Tour Of The Venetian West Projects
Over 14 projects are currently under construction as the Brickell Management Group is seeking to do its part in bringing affordable housing and shop spaces to and for Bahamians.

Cave Hill needs to figure out what its procedures are going to be in August/ September because people need to make plans for return- including saving $$ for “home” quarantine before they can go on halls.
Lmao I wish people would leave their opinions to their group chats. Not everyone should procreate. You already see the mess the world is. Now u want people to have children so they aren’t lonely? Recipe for disaster
We also need to REBRAND
That whole “we only a short flight away”from the states thing worked back in the day to get people here, but tourism and tourist tastes have changed considerably since then. The flight short but ya money need to be long to come. Rebrand.
Fun fact. I got to have breakfast with
@ochocinco
and folks at Cricket Club back in 2014
(Me and my coworker
@Futurebeej
were supposed to be at work lol 😂 but we went to breakfast to meet Ocho Cinco instead)
Ya hear stories about the corruption* or questionable deals & they seem so far removed. In the last 2-3 months I’ve witnessed it happening twice & both times to my own detriment. I see why y’all is go away to school & never come back. Ya fighting demons over here
When I was brand manager for Ricardo I asked my POLISH manager if we could invest in partnership w/ him [sidenote: at the time they were looking to export Ricardo] Gal tell me no 😭
