Something very simple

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

When I was studying photography in university I came across a black and white photo of three little girls dressed up with little ribbons in their hair and holding their bibles running to Sunday School. The photographer’s comment was that he saw that diligent and happy behavior all through the island, and he had to capture it in that moment.

My parents provided a great life for my siblings and I. Are we uppity? Maybe, but who cares. The point is we grew up with the value of putting on our Sunday best and looking forward to meeting the Lord every Sunday. We still do this in our individual households.

This is my culture, not a national culture but one of my family and of God fearing.

We put God first in our lives. That is a great value to follow.
