lol submit what you have at 11:40 and when youโre finished email your final draft to your professor and say you submitted the wrong document and would like to send the correct version in. This worked every time when I was in college ๐
I love the look of Maniere De Voirโs clothing but didnโt even know it was black owned
The model choices donโt particularly scream black owned either soo where do we go from here? ๐
You know what I love most about these Brampton Manor A level results posts? All the photos of black kids who got A* and As with afros and cornrows.
Itโs almost as if hairstyles have no impact on your academic ability. Who would have thought? ๐
Can we address the fact that the Caribbean is in the middle of the hurricane season and all it would take is one hurricane to sink this boat and cause irreversible damage to the Caribbean ecosystem? Wtf!

โ ๏ธURGENT CRISIS: PLEASE SHARE THIS TO GET HELP NOW!โ ๏ธ Hereโs an update on this potentially devastating environmental catastrophe brewing off the coast of Venezuela ๐ป๐ช /Trinidad & Tobago ๐น๐น
@ShaShaT88
A black owned business doesnโt only have to us black models but it takes a special kind of audacity to come and complain about lack of support from the black community when you yourself are not using at least SOME black people in your marketing.
Lol his responses are jokes. Itโs not his style to do the whole social media campaigns but weโre automatically expected to just โจknowโจ his brand his black owned
Prior to today most of us didnโt even know who was behind it. It was just a page instagram ads used to throw at us๐
@adaenechi
I thought the same but I came across one of the creepy fan pages and they have photos of them together. Looks like theyโre doing the black london dating thing where they avoid posting their partners on social media ๐๐
@t0nit0ne
Wooo that last part! Iโm convinced people are pressed for us to get married because what they REALLY want is for us to join them in their misery. And itโs always the people in the deadest looking marriages who seem to be the most interested in me โsettling downโ
Carnival is becoming less of a safe space for women because of the people itโs attracting. Men outside our culture take liberties and use it as an excuse to sexually assault women. This is why we HAVE to gatekeep
It tracks in terms of how non-Caribbean people see and are encouraged to see carnival, specifically Black women, in carnival
Theyโre equating a wine in the dance to literal sex and itโs incredibly disturbing.
We actually have to stop it.
Loool someone replied to this saying โSo you wouldnโt date Martin Luther Kingโ and I am DECEASED
You know damn well thatโs not who she was talking about ๐ญ๐ญ
Does
@tolly_t
realise how skilled of an interviewer she is to make people feel comfortable enough to disclose such personal stuff on her Bumble series? That takes a lot of psychology safety + the fact that she still manages to do it while injecting humour at the right moments
Thereโs something about going from looking dusty at Dutty Mas to a goddess in Pretty Mas less than 24 hours later that I absolutely love
Range ๐ค๐พ
@adaenechi
๐๐๐ I actually laughed when I saw the posts on that page. Youโd see Mimii post a photo by herself at an event as if she went alone then on the fan page youโd see a photo of her and Josh cuddled up at the same event.
Free our people man ๐ญ๐ญ
Things I loved about The Recipe
- THE TOILETS
- a huge amount of food and drink options that didnโt run out
- queues werenโt excessively long
- the decor and layout with cute sitting areas
- the vibe was immaculate
Overall it definitely exceeded my expectations
Soca music barely gets any love at mainstream UK events so my head really gets hot when I go to a soca event and they start playing hip hop/grime etc. Weโre not fucking here for this.
@ShaShaT88
If heโs not engaging with black media and isnโt using black models are we meant to go out of our way to find out who he is to show support in what is an oversaturated industry? ๐ค
@tolly_t
Danielle is a different kind of hard work. Interacting with her must be exhausting because Nick could say the sky is blue and she would still find a way to take offence ๐ฅด
@ShaShaT88
Like I said before in my follow up tweets most of us didnโt even know who was behind the brand before he started bitching today and the only thing we had to go with is the models on his page marketing.
@cheniceee
Lol the fact your sister knew exactly who she was and she was still brave enough to post all of this. Ring ring pon the police (not that they will do much)
@Oloni
I donโt think thereโs a set answer to that tbh. It depends on how much time youโre regularly spending together, the types of experiences you have together and how open and honest youโre willing to be with each other
Black people in the UK definitely had to fight for this and there are still MANY schools who discriminate against black hair styles but it is nice seeing an increase in the number of kids being able to wear their hair in afros to school
You know what I notice? The black boys are wearing their hair the way it comes out of their scalps the same way the yt ones are. And they're in school uniforms. Interesting.
Ngl if it takes you 5 hours to wash, treat and detangle hair just because of a few split ends you have no business doing hair
Just say you donโt know how to work with natural hair and go instead of giving us all this story. That trim at the end was ATROCIOUS
@RaggaCupcake
LOL I legit forgot the proper name was St Christopher. This feels symbolic of what it feels like growing up in the Caribbean and only finding out a family memberโs real name when you go to their funeral smh
My mum on carnival morning: I doe understand how allu can go outside with allu backside outside like dat
Also my mum: Anyway send me photos

๐ซ๐ท Dear croissant twitter (๐๐)
I need some good French Caribbean and French African restaurant recommendations in Paris
London is severely lacking in food from Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Cameroon, Congo etc
@mxmsworld
Definitely. Sometimes it really is a case of being the wrong time and place. If you both go away, work on yourselves and come back with healthier attitudes then there really is nothing wrong with trying again
I'm so glad this is finally happening.
These Black men are lying for views.
I've known that "statistic" was a lie for a long time.
This video breaks it down further.
Please watch it.
I need our black countries to stop being havens to white predators
In the UK this man has been accused of sexually assaulting countless numbers of black girls and women over decades. Why is he even allowed into Nigeria, let alone given a platform kmt
So Iโve been in Jamaica for 2 days and Iโve realised Iโve NEVER had jerk before this trip. Whatever it is they call jerk chicken in the UK doesnโt even come close ๐ญ๐ญ
@n0tash
@afuahirsch
30 seconds in and I had to stop. There really is no point having these futile debates on British television with people like P****s M****n who will stay wrong and strong no matter how many evidenced facts you lay out for him
Sighh it makes it so hard to support you lot with dumb posts like this. We ALL deserve liveable wages. Just face your front and ask for more money without punching down on other people. Being a waiter is no easy job when youโre on your feet all day - qualifications or not
Happy Independence Day to the Trini cousins!! ๐น๐น
If youโre feeling to get your Trini food fix today check out this Taste of Trini food festival in Finsbury Park ๐
@dbcxptures
We grew up together. Sheโs like family ๐
Plus as a fellow person from a small Caribbean island you donโt understand the pride we feel about how much sheโs accomplished ๐ฉ
@Luvvie
Is it just me who finds phone calls more exhausting than face to face contact. Like face to face silence is acceptable at points but the constant need for someone to be talking on the phone is just draining
@Ejiketion
In my experience the majority of older men who approached me in my early to mid twenties had a control issues. They tried to use the age gap and supposed life experience as a way to assert their dominance. It was hella cringe.
Lool we can criticise Caribbean men all we want but one thing they NEVER do is beg women to cook for them after or even sometimes before the first date
I get the serious ick when some of the brothers from the continent do that shit ๐๐
@mxnrisa
I remember this girl telling me how amazing it was that some Jamaican people carry her family surname. I was like...but why do you think that is boo?
Lol there are so many reasons he could have asked this:
1. Some menโs stomachs are endless pits and he wants to check before eating all your food
2. Some people cook enough to last them a few days and he may not have wanted to inconvenience you into having to cook again etc etc

A masterpiece ๐๐๐
(I hope you guys know Iโm going to find any and every excuse to post these one here ๐๐)
@theashrb
This reminds me of this one who ALWAYS feels comfortable posting photos and videos of himself with clearly underaged girls in the Caribbean. No matter what destination heโs at, he always manages to find himself surrounded by girls who are definitely under 18
This is why I get so frustrated by how hypersexualised the marketing for some soca events has become
When womenโs bodies become the product youโre selling what type of men do you think are going to come to these events?
@iAmCroe
It would also help to manage spoilers. I came across a HUGE series finale Top Boy spoiler while on episode 4 and now Iโm scrutinising every interaction to see what led to it. I canโt even sit back and enjoy the show now kmt
@partynexthorre
LOL! My mum and I do this all the time. I prefer to sit in a particular area on the train, she prefers a different spot. Why make either of ourselves uncomfortable when Iโm going to see you at home ๐
@natoya_lashay
I wanna see what your head game like
Do you know what you're doin'?
Is your neck game tight?
Do you know how to use it?
Have a long conversation with me
If you love swimming under the sea
Then dive

@ashindestad
@ImjustRee_
And bare in mind a big reason why many Caribbean islands have been so strict with weed laws is because they received so much pressure from the US ๐
