Caribbean / British heritage
One of my most cherished cultural keepsakes is the vibrant tradition of Caribbean life—rich in faith, family, and fellowship. Growing up in the Caribbean, it was common to gather with relatives, neighbours, and friends during bank holidays and major celebrations. These were joyful occasions filled with shared prayer, testimonies, laughter, and home-cooked meals. Dishes such as stewed saltfish, green banana pie, fried plantain and dumplings, callaloo, and pumpkin soup brought everyone to the table. Now living in London, I continue to honour these meaningful traditions and my Christian heritage—especially during festive seasons—by bringing my family together for prayer and celebration. These moments keep both my culture and faith alive, and I love sharing them with others wherever I go.
