about the blog
a personal blog about the ups and downs of my life in Barbados. i’ve been making up stories since before i even went to school! since i was 15 i kept a diary. i was 24 when i moved the diary online. in short, i love to write and blogging let’s me do that. sometimes i worry about making so much of my personal life public, especially since i live on a small island. but the personal is political (and my readers are few anyway ). aside from the TMI stuff i blog about my academic and political interests which include thinking critically about gender, race, caribbean culture and media. i update when the mood strikes rather than on a fixed scheduled.
