As someone deeply rooted in both the islands and US mainland I must say the Black experience is different as I transition between being in the majority and minority routinely. I’ll argue that ā€œminoritiesā€ are treated better in a Black majority run society as on the US mainland I

Since my father was from #Trinidad and my mother is from #Anguilla and had me on #StThomas this makes me very much Pan-Caribbean as I see these islands as one extended community woven around a common thread of struggle for self-determination. It’s why I was inspired by our

While growing up on #StThomas the name #AdelbertBryan stirred mixed emotions in me as I was drawn to the former Senator’s revolutionary spirit yet disturbed by his debate over who’s a ā€œnativeā€ vs ā€œancestralā€ #VirginIslander. As someone who’s parents came from #Trinidad and

The #Caribbean has always been rooted in revolution as research shows the region has had more uprisings in modern history than anywhere else in the world. In fact, my bloodline in #Anguilla is directly tied to the revolution there in 1967 when the island, led my #RonaldWebster,

In a recent interview I was asked about #NiteCap’s role in pioneering what you folks now call podcasting. Let’s put it this way. The topic of relevance is irrelevant to the originator as there would be no them without me. Hence, I’m enjoying this second chapter as the NiteCap

One thing made clear by the current political climate is that people are tired of charming politicians in tailored suits echoing scripted speeches. Public fervor in this era of the anti-politician favors authentic leadership not tied to the established guard. This Sunday watch my

While growing up on #StThomas I can still remember vividly what happened after the crack era helped to turn our island’s most vulnerable communities into an economic wasteland void of a moral compass as it did to many urban areas on the US mainland. It’s why I felt it was time to

You ever wonder why the story of those coming to America on the ā€œMayflowerā€ is romanticized while the ā€œboat peopleā€ coming from the Caribbean were ridiculed? It’s a question we should all ask given ICE’s actions on the US mainland and now the #VirginIslands. Watch Melky jean
