The issue of race and race relations are always difficult but we are heartened by the response to our June 4 edition of Over the Hump where a number of guests gave their perspectives on anti-Black prejudice in Trinidad and Tobago.
Ardene and Franka were joined by UWI lecturer, artist & activist Angelique V Nixon; communications strategist & activist Jessica Joseph, attorney & musician Lou Lyons; reporter Rachael Espinet; and scholar & activist Karyn De Freitas.
We definitely want to hear from you on this topic, so please leave a comment in the section below, or on our Facebook page.

This topic is so emotive and brings up a host of feelings -There is too much to say but imma start with the anger I feel when ‘educated’ ppl claim the TTT is not like the USA (re race relations), we are a bunch of bandwagonists and that we all get along OR say we should educate those who claim to not know the diff btw BLM v ALM.

class
privilege
entitlement
injustice
