That places like this still exist is a miracle. And it could continue to be possible. The lines outside of Allanās Caribbean Bakery donāt lie. There is a demand, in every major city, but especially in NYC, for our cultural wares and traditional foods.

Just a few pics from my layover stop in Nairobi en route to Madagascar. The Zebra š¦was not having it. Sick of tourists, it turned its rear end to me. š But what a gift to see them.
.
The animal kingdom brings out the wild, the curious, the humble and the beauty lover in me. All the ways-of-being that I love. Hopefully one day I can spend more time immersed in wildlife.

Thank you Madagascar, what a beautiful place and people striving forward.

Many happy returns @raziasaid . We grasped so much in a short time. We saw the Madagascar that no safari will reveal. So many joyful adventures and hilarious moments. Give thanks.

Now, thatās New York. The annual #NewYorkMarathon, with athletes from around the world and everyday New Yorkers of all stripes, out there, running and doing their civic duty to cheer on the runners. Andā¦give them a banana! Thanks, friends. @reginabain_reina

Kudos to the incredible filmmakers, programmers, thought leaders, crew, festival staff and talent who were a part of the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival this year.

Thankful for the opportunity to be in conversation about film finance and building the capacity of the creative sector in the Caribbean.

As a child of the diaspora I continue to be focused on how we can serve to help remove the impediments to making authentic Caribbean (and global) stories. And how the work of sharing them with audiences is critical to resisting the archetypes and systems that keep us divided, colonized and invisible.

Two hours spent at the Caribbean Day Parade, one more than last year. Greatly appreciated the company of a calm and festive crowd and heard some killer Haitian beats!
.
In awe at the passion and professionalism on display for the world at this historic one-of-a-kind event. No, itās not the same as it used to be. But we still make magic when we come together. We make the most of our moment in the sun.

Itās been a lovely month of people. Of living and staying in the moment, as these beautiful humans help me to do. Thankful for breath and for pause. For laughter and beauty. For this human body. ššā„ļø
