I grew up as the ugly duckling... the ugly dark one, that didn't belong. Kids were mean, they called me potty face, poxy girl, hairy scary.. adults were just as cruel, "why she look so different than the other... what happen to her face... she so hairy.." They pulled at my clothes, they scrutinised me and my skin, my face... it was like being in a circus as the main act. Thankfully my sisters never saw the difference in the contrast of our skin tones... my long golden brown non curly hair... instead they just saw me... their big sister who they were most protective of, as I was of them. I remember my sister Dion getting into many fights on the playground defending me and protecting me from bullies. Being called the ugly duckling did a number on my self esteem. The thing though about the ugly duckling story is that in discovering your true self, having overcome and conquered many tribulations... you somehow find peace when you realize you're really a swan in a pond of ducks. Each of us have something special within us, but we must dig deep. And until you recognize how special you are, until you truly search for it... you're gonna sit and splash around a pond treading water. #UglyDuckling #Swan #SelfLove #FindingMyself #CountryGyal #TriniGyal #islandGirl #IslandLife #IslandWays #SurfSandAndSunnyRays

In a world that rewards mediocrity and approximation, I truly admire women with natural hair who are brave enough to attempt authencity. #Locs #NaturalHair #LocJourney #RastaDawta #RastaWoman #Empress #Authenticity #CountryGyal #TriniGyal #islandGirl #IslandLife #IslandWays #SurfSandAndSunnyRays

The history of the New World since Columbus re-discovered it is one of conquest, pillage, exploitation and forced migration of a people. For more than three centuries millions of people were forcibly transported from their homes in Africa, across the perilous Atlantic Ocean to the New World, where they were forced to labour on sugar plantations for the rest of their lives. This enslavement of a people continued until events in Europe changed the fortunes of the West Indian and North American colonies. Humanitarians started questioning the validity of slavery, there was competition from beet sugar producers in Europe, and the advent of the Industrial Revolution spawned the rise of a new group of influential men in the British Parliament who believed that slavery was no longer economically viable. In 1833 Thomas Buxton presented The Emancipation Bill in Parliament. The Act was passed and came into effect on 1 August 1834. On that day, thousands of slaves in the British West Indies became free men and women. One hundred and fifty one years later, on 1 August 1985 the government of Trinidad and Tobago became the first country in the world to declare Emancipation Day a national holiday to commemorate the abolition of slavery. -- Source NALIS Happy Emancipation Day Trinidad &Tobago!!! #Slavery #Abolition #AbolitionOfSlavery #Emancipation #EmancipationDay #TrinidadAndTobago #183YearsEmancipated (at Trinidad and Tobago)

... because at this moment, the only one deserving of my love is me. It's time to take the love others have taken for granted and invest it in myself. #iLoveMe #Investment #SelfLove #SelfWorth #Confident #Strong #Assertive #Loyal #CountryGyal #TriniGyal #islandGirl #IslandLife #IslandWays #SurfSandAndSunnyRays (at Buzz Bar)
