Women are expected to be responsible for so much. Not only is it our job to have children before a specific time because of biology and because of societal pressures. We are also expected to ensure that the man we meet will be a good father as if people don’t change
Making sure you can give your child a great father is more important than a biological clock.

Having children will not heal your childhood trauma. Therapy will. Children are not the answer to your loneliness or lack of fulfillment. Children are not substitutes for friends and romantic partners.

Feeling anxiousness is a normal emotion because a situation may make you experience anxiety. Others have anxiety that may cripple their ability to perform tasks. It can be consistent or people may have episodes and it doesn’t necessarily happen because of one thing.

People keep asking Caribbean people to make space for the diaspora and that’s not an issue. Most Caribbean people have family and friends in the diaspora. The issue is when the diaspora seeks to invalidate the experiences of those who are born and raised in the Caribbean.

Trivia time: Which country in 2024, after 260+ years of independence is still dealing with challenges to water, education, social services, justice, democracy while race still plays a major role in access to basic amenities?
People in glass houses should shine them and be quiet.
The Caribbean countries just got their independence some less than 100 years ago and they’re still dealing with problems in education and health care system. Just say you like warm weather.

Too many young men lost their virginity to sexually abuse and have not been allowed or encouraged to call it what it is. The normalization of sexual abuse of young men is as disconcerting as ignoring the widespread abuse of women.

Let’s talk about CLICO and how many people lost their life savings. Let’s talk about how many people regret not buying the ticket, taking the trip, truly enjoying their life. How many people die in the process of waiting to live life.
All of this cannot be to dead.
Traveling is nice and all but all the money I see wanna splurging.
Try go get life insurance & invest in getting a house to come back to instead of sitting with nothing to your name from your last trip in ya mother house with no other achievements in life but a full passport book

Men should be gynecologists. Men should also be held accountable for sexual harassment and assault.
Excluding men from professions like gynecology is an indication that we expect and accept that sexually inappropriate behavior is simply their nature and I do not accept that.
