C*ribb*an culture is gossiping about someone when they “look small” and body shaming them when they “put on size”.
Y’all will bully these children into body dysmorphia.
How do y’all work 9 - 5 and still find time for the club, friends, a spouse, children??? The dog?? Gym?? Personal business??
When I finish work at 5:00 it’s time to sleep so I could make it through the next day. Help. Dis nuh mek no sense.
I was debating whether to share this but I’ve worked too hard to hide my success.
Between my depression, anxiety and the pandemic…it’s commendable that I even finished the degree.
I’m most thankful for the community that helped me make it through the last three years. 🙏🏾
When I see celebrities enjoying themselves in the Caribbean without crazed fans running behind them I just know we all got the same talk from our mothers to doan let nobody feel dem better dan you.
A lot of persons I’ve met that are going or went to “top schools” don’t think they’re better than anyone else or God’s gift to man.
A lot of y’all choose to put them on that pedestal and shouting at them now to get off.
I could write a book about my experience as a Guyanese national moving and living in Barbados. Could never forget a teacher at high school saying “wunna really get and let a foreigner come first in class”
Never came less than 2nd after that. 🙂
Hi, are you a tourist in Barbados?
Did you plan your vacation poorly and had to leave without seeing the sea?
Call our government hotline. You may be entitled to compensation.
You lot sharing the video of Mia swimming and insinuating she’s having fun while the country’s in shambles are very odd.
That woman lost her brother and had to prep the island for a storm soon after that. She deserves a lil fun in the sun.
I wish I could explain to my lecturers I’m d*pressed and my productivity hasn’t been what it used to be and they offer some grace.
But I don’t think our educational system is built for that kind of support. You either shape up or drop out.
Hey everyone, thanks for checking in. Robyn and I are fine. It was just very shocking to see
@ECAFSpice
turn up at our residence to propose to Robs.
Rashad and lil pon de replay are all safe. 🫶🏾
The Barbados Constitution is to protect the interests of Barbadians. That includes Muslim bajans, queer bajans, white bajans,black bajans,rich bajans, poor bajans.
It’s not a Constitution for Christians only.
Doctors on the frontline for almost a YEAR and can’t get a lil increase in pay but the tourist post two saltbreads and nuggets on Instagram and getting a free staycation.
Hate to see it.
If you’re sexist. Delete me.
If you’re homophobic. Delete me.
If you’re racist. Delete me.
If you’re bigoted. Delete me.
If you’re xenophobic. Delete me.
I assure you we won’t get along as friends and my tweets will always upset you. Do yourself the favor.
How are Christians, people who profess to be followers of Christ (a man who walked and talked with all manners of people) the ones to be calling for the exclusion and discrimination against marginalized groups.
We reading from the same Bible?
Ngl, as a foreigner I was surprised to see my name on the wall but, it just shows how connected we are across the region.
This is why xenophobia in the Caribbean makes little sense. Our histories are too connected for us to be this disjointed. Let’s fix that.
If I was PM everybody would got to put a report on my desk by tomorrow to explain what went on today. I’ve NVER seen Kadooment Day be this disorganized and soulless.
Idk man. This might be a PR blow for my island.
Don’t get sidetracked though, Barbados will always be home. If anybody asks, my first response is “I’m bajan”. That’s where my cultural identity was developed and the place that poured the most into me. 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧
Guyanese by birth, bajan by choice.
My grandparents sent me this really cute selfie to say Merry Christmas. 🥺
I told them I’d share it on Twitter so everyone could see them. Help me wish them Merry Christmas guys.
I’ve never done a 5k in my life and I start wheezing walking down a hill. Did I sign up for a 5k with such law school? Yes. Will I finish it??
Find out next on “Kevin doing bc”
Again, there’s nothing normal about what we’re experiencing and you don’t have to beat yourself up if your productivity is less than normal.
Give yourself grace and accept that we’re going through some unprecedented times.
Last year we were all forced to isolate to keep safe, and experienced how difficult it is to survive; cut off from friends, family and resources.
No man is an island and no island can stand alone... My thoughts and prayers are with the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines.
We need a mandatory reporting protocol for child abuse. Too many persons know of children who are being abused and say nothing about it. It should be mandated that if you see something, say something.
Silence cannot be an option when a child is being raped, beaten, neglected...
Not gonna lie, I’m getting a bit tired of everyone telling young people we have the solutions for the world’s problems and that it’s up to us to make things better. Y’all created these issues. We are just inheriting them.
Y’all too nice. If I was the Minister of Health i was holding a big church rally up at the gymnasium and putting the vaccine in the communion wine.
Tek da.

: The official portrait of Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley was revealed overnight following her Report to the Nation - commemorating her administration's 3rd anniversary; this is her first official state portrait since her election on this day 3 years ago. (PMO)
Never seen the church lead a march against child abuse or violence yet but let the government give people their rights and watch them run down Spring Garden.
