I feel compelled to speak. Not one for super private stuff. But my dad died from prostate cancer yesterday. He found when it was far too aggressive.
Put pressure on your elder Caribbean men to check that. Ignorance around the procedure is messing us up. It could save their life
Why on earth do companies ask “your desired salary” £500k is mine. Are you gonna pay that?. Stop the corporate flirting n tell me how much you’re willing to pay me
To be frank. A LOT OF MAN FROM LONDON see soca as an opportunity to look gyal and just move fucking nuts. Put a mask on top you got a dangerous person. Hands going everywhere. No love for the culture or music. It’s just titts & ass to them
Not sure why people see NHC & think everyone else culture should be include. So it’s ignorance & lack of respect for what the origins are as to why we are event there in the first place. People just wanna piggyback & clearly view it as a street party
NHC generates 400m.
Why can’t there be other celebrations of culture every bank holiday which generates that amount of money instead of trying to take from the one Caribbean event.
We need less complaining more thinking.
Two things I’ll never allow.
A non black person telling me racism isn’t that deep.
A non-caribbean person telling me disrespect on my culture isn’t that deep

The reason I love J’ouvert so much because everyone is equal. There’s no my drip is better than yours ting. The meaning being linked to emancipation of slavery n hiding from your masters. Pure expression of freedom
I’ll say it again. Soca is derived from oppression & is deeply cultural.
So anyone who isn’t from said place is quite literally a guest. Act accordingly.
The respectful stance is long gone. Who vex is vex.
Have a quick google on where soca came from and why.
Happy Sunday

1- practicality
2- you never know what situation you’d be in to drive manual
3- abroad not all rentals are automatic
4- automatics are more expensive
Half of London is standing up at events judging and making notes to come back to twitter instead of letting yourself go and enjoying the music/energy.
Particularly why I like being abroad folks let themselves go. Dance like nobodies watching.
Did you come to enjoy or mek 🗒
I hate when girls look at you in almost disgust for dancing and enjoying yourself. Sorry, but I work too hard for my money to just be stanning up in a venue acting stoosh and scanning the room for man.
There’s a DJ somewhere, working really really really hard to stand out by transitioning “Talibans” into “who told you” this summer & I’m urging you DONT DO IT
NHC IS IN LESS THAN 8 weeks. THERE ARE MULTIPLE BANDS/EVENTS/COMPANIES WHO ARE RAN BY CARIBBEAN & NON-CARIBBEAN PEOPLE A LIKE. WHO PROFIT OFF OF THE “culture” BUT ARE BEING AWFULLY IDLE WITH THEIR PRESENCE ON PLATFORMS.
There’s a part of a fete I like to stand back and just watch everyone jamming pure elation. You don’t know what anyone does for work, what they have or don’t. Everyone is paint up. Everyone is equal & the riddim is ringing off. Looking like a proud parent. It’s so special
Some idiot in my comments saying “why would Carnival be cancelled in barbados” ermmm the road you fete and walk on is literally mashed up. People need rehousing, power, food the basics to function you think you got time to get a truck on the road.big disrespect
Morning 🔋
Look at the powers of Seamoss. Customer has been using my St lucian Golden Caribbean Blend & the results speak for itself 😱. Orders are available 📞
Day 1 vs Day 4 ⚡️
Soca heads have a certain energy. A way of doing things ESPECIALLY in a fete. If you are an outsider to this don’t come and try make that soca head feel like the weirdo
Do not give in. NHC is not a multi genre multicultural celebration. It’s is strictly Caribbean event within a multicultural society. We are honouring something super important and let others take part or support from the sides.
MANDEM PLEASE. ESPECIALLY BLACK MEN. THE PROSTATE CANCER TEST IS A BLOOD TEST. EITHER BY NEEDLE OR FINGER PRICK.
NOT A DR PUTTING THEIR FINGER UP YOUR CACKAHOLE (for the non/caribbean people that means Bum)
DONT BE SELFISH. YOU HAVE LOVED ONES WHO IM SURE WANT YOU ON 🌎
Soca is dead yet u wanna run up in the place dat u hear it. Mek it mek sense. U wanna use the event as a chance to “grab gyal” yet when da soca👸🏾 starts jamming on u. You’ll be like “ay ay ay mandem 🤪 I caught a whine” like say it’s a golden ticket at willy wonky factory.
I miss carnival.
I miss baccahnal
I miss Jouvert
I miss strong rum (tequila)
I miss paint
I miss jab jab
I miss bamsee
I miss flinging waist
I miss oil
Now you got riff raff in di fete. Issues liasing with feds/ council. Gonna put soca (arguably the most peace friendly/family vibes genre of the Caribbean) on some high risk list when it comes to events
But the lost tribe had something I’ve never seen before. A cafe truck with snacks, a drink truck with water & soft drinks that was a help yourself ting. Orderly & civilised. Carnival is TNT national sport. Impressed! Photographers with qr codes & ring lights. It’s serious
