About Me:

I am a born Trinidad, my Aunt married a Nigerian my whole purpose of coming to Africa. Growing up in the Caribbean although we are mixed, we have very strong links to Africa.

The Caribbean is basically made of of Africans who were brought here to work a slaves. Many of our African ancestors shed blood, tears and there lives for us during this journey. As an Afro-Caribbean many of us long to returning to Africa "the mother-land".

They are a lot of conscious (African awareness) groups here in the Caribbean. Bob Marley alot more help spread these messages in their music, words, Martin Lurther King and so many more. We have not forgotten where we came from. The question is: "Has Africa forgotten us". I ask this because my stay in Nigeria, my interaction with its people, i realized that Nigerians lack knowledge of us in the Caribbean which is sad.

So please read up on your history. Africa was once one of the the richest nations, now we are separated by greed, scorn and tribal wars.

Its time Africa Unites!!!!!!!!!!!
