🧵Miami's Goombay is one of the oldest Black Caribbean festivals in the U.S. It's back this weekend after a 5 year hiatus. Miami was founded by Black folks from the deep South and Bahamians. The first name on the city's charter is Silas Austin, a Bahamian man.

My Grandma passed away today.

A while back, we drove past a mansion she used to clean in Naples, FL:

“I remember cleaning toilets for a doctor that lived there,” she said.

Then w/a smirk, she finished: “But my son’s a doctor now.”

Rest now Grandma, from your Dream Come True.

We love the #BlacktoFront initiative which puts AfroBrits in the spotlight on TV. Here’s to hoping it’s a long lasting, permanent fixture in UK media.
