We have been collecting stories of real, lived experiences of people of diverse ethnicity, but mainly, of Caribbean heritage. We hope to produce them in print form, retaining each person’s authentic voices.
Our Mission
We want to collect, collate and retell experiences, which could lead to the preservation of as much of the rich cultural specifics, which identify the various Caribbean peoples and consequent diaspora living in the UK or elsewhere. That may mean searching out the hidden stories which surround individuals and their families as they journeyed across thousands of miles to seek adventure, improvements economically and build more stories with people they meet and families they create. This living tapestry is so often overlooked and denied. We would be poorer with the loss of their stories; their histories - our heritage.
‘Don’t be in such a hurry to condemn a person because he doesn’t do what you do, or think as you think. There was a time when you didn’t know what you know today.
