Was an entire vibe hosting @ishowspeed at @windjammerlanding this week. It’s not just the visit, it’s watching someone experience Saint Lucia in real time. The views, food, people, energy… it hits different here. You can’t explain Saint Lucia. You feel it.

Every human being has equal value. Every single one. At the United Nations General Assembly, I challenged a world that still decides whose lives deserve protection and whose suffering can be ignored. No race is superior. No people are disposable. Until we honour that truth, "everywhere is war" remains a warning we have failed to heed. What the world needs now is love, with the courage to confront injustice and defend our shared humanity. Love and a little kindness. For everyone.

There are zero scenarios where I would leave an island without my friend if I didn't know where they were and whether they were safe or not. None.

June 6 marks one year alcohol free. Not because I struggled with addiction, but because I realized it had become a quiet crutch in how I showed up in certain spaces. A way to soften anxiety, ease discomfort, and perform confidence instead of truly feeling it. So I stopped. What followed wasn’t dramatic, but it was deeply honest. I had to relearn how to exist in rooms without a buffer. How to sit with discomfort instead of escaping it. How to choose myself over fitting in. It’s been a year of clarity, presence, and rebuilding confidence from the inside out. And I’ve never felt more free.

If we are truly serious about regional travel, all Caribbean governments must see it as an essential public good and service, set aside a percentage of the national budget to make airfares affordable. We are so close (see ya across the water from the beach), yet charged so much.

Start shaming these Caribbean leaders and CARICOM on a global scale. There needs to be protests in every Caribbean country… if you don’t loud up the place nothing will ever change.
Caribbean leaders must have a little shame the way these streams show how close and connected the islands are. We literally can’t afford to visit our neighbors but we can see the next island from the beach.

Petition to start calling St. Lucia her indigenous name Louanalao again. It’s very Lucian to have 2 random names, like my mechanic Boxjuice who’s government name I don’t know.

And with this tour going on, now would be the perfect time to drop fare prices, cause ik for fact after seeing these beautiful islands everyone wants to travel to each and everyone of them.

Lowkey… this was always the kind of exposure the Caribbean needs. No script, no overproduction just real moments and culture moving naturally.

I love Caribbean people. Why today alone I learned: "Please leave me alone, I have nothing nice to say to you." and "Leave me alone, breadfruit!"
