New wave of African pride rises in the Caribbean
A rise in African pride is sweeping the Caribbean as people seek to reconnect with their African heritage through cultural expressions like food and music. This wave of pan-Africanism is being fueled by social media trends and a strong desire to explore the continent firsthand. Governments and institutions are working to strengthen ties between Africa and the Caribbean, with the potential for increased trade and shared currencies. Initiatives like Africana Chops, a Nigerian takeaway in St Lucia, are playing a role in promoting this cultural exchange and unity between the two regions.
