The Caribbean is often at the forefront of manifesting change. From their independence of the Queen to the call for Reparations, the Caribbean forges forward with courage and determination.
The day that Barbados fired the Queen of England and declared its sovereignty was the proudest day for this Bajan woman.
It wasn’t just a political maneuver; it was a spiritual reckoning! Shedding centuries of colonial weight felt elevating. The echoes of emancipation live in our bloodlines, and when Barbados removed the British monarch as Head of State, it sent a signal to the world that the children of the enslaved have grown, and they remember.
We are no longer mere survivors of the empire. We are guardians of truth. Our islands may be small, but our spirits are mighty. This movement—this Protector Tribe spirit—has ignited across the region. Jamaica’s Prime Minister boldly calling for reparations from King Charles is not just diplomacy; it’s divine justice knocking on the palace gates.
CARICOM has unified Caribbean nations under a 10-point reparations plan, reminding the world that generational trauma demands generational repair. Our cultural memory is rich. From Haiti’s revolutionary fire to Grenada’s resilience, from Trinidad’s intellectual prowess to Dominica’s environmental leadership – this archipelago of islands is more than turquoise waters and carnival colors. We are witnesses. We are warriors. We are healers.
To demand reparations is to reclaim what was stolen from us. Not just land and labor, but dignity, language, and legacy. We are not begging. We are billing, and it is long, overdue!
The Protector Tribe moves not just for itself, but for the African diaspora, for the global South, for the ancestors whose names were erased. We walk with them. We speak for them. And as we rise, so too shall the tide of justice lift every voice long silenced.
🐺 She is the ravening wolf who howls at the moon…
Let the world take notice: The Caribbean is no longer a colony. She is the ravening wolf who howls at the moon, for it is the time of The Hunt and she will ensure a bounty as we run toward freedom.
