Yes, *is* true—Caribbean Heritage Month has only one-and-a-small-piece weeks of wine💃🏽 remaining, so get out there and enjoy the truly 🔥 ongoing festivities if you’re a fellow Caribe/lover of the same. *All we* family under one palm tree🌴  —no matter what your flag(s) of heritage!

Here’s my 6/2 🎥Instagram post about this truly historic🎉moon:

🥳Yes, man!! June, by official government proclamation, is 🥁Caribbean Heritage Month here in the 🇺🇸States (📸IG: @orlandospringbreakfast Follow them on IG!)! It’s time to commemorate & celebrate the dazzling contributions that people of our vast Caribbean diaspora have made, to this wondrous, welcoming nation. During the past few years, we’ve accelerated, at warp drive, our representation at all levels of society—particularly in prominent government & corporate positions. And, there’s never a shortage of us amongst the college & university grads🎓in this land...

Hailing or having parentage from 🇬🇾Guyana, South America to 🇯🇲Jamaica, 🇹🇹Trinidad & Tobago to the 🇧🇸Bahamas, 🇵🇷Puerto Rico to🇹🇨Turks & Caicos—and everywhere beautifully else between & beyond, we are so many races & mixtures, flags & foods, histories & herstories. And yet—we are all delightfully *one*.❤️Now…fr…is who cookin’??🍛👀😂💃🏽
