I revisited these clips from an interview back in March where I spoke about @listwacollective. They reminded me to keep building with passion & purpose. As June comes to a close and we mark the end of #ReadCaribbeanMonth I'm reflecting on the importance of that commitment to not just reading and telling our stories, but creating space to help other writers really recognise the power of storytelling ✨ by @listwacollective

Meet Gregory Sinaise, a Saint Lucian cultural icon. 🇱🇨

In October 2025, the community of Belle Vue paid tribute to Gregory Sinaise, a talented musician and pillar of the community. Gregory’s Kwéyòl hits represent a significant connection to history, identity, culture, and memory. Listwa Collective was pleased to collaborate with Hunting Grounds Media to produce this piece highlighting his talents and contributions.

“Do not be afraid to put your thoughts on paper.” - Mac Donald Dixon.

It’s why we gifted every participant of the Tiwé Listwa Writing Retreat a notebook: to get those thoughts on paper. taken in Balenbouche Estate by @listwacollective

When Listwa’s creative director conceptualized our first writing retreat, she knew that taking it from dream to reality would require substantial resources. In 2024, she submitted a proposal for funding to @cwfcreatives and it was accepted!

The Commonwealth Foundation was the sole funder of the Tiwé Listwa Writing Retreat. Their financial support turned this dream into a community of Saint Lucian writers who were granted the space to develop their craft. We are eternally grateful to the Commonwealth Foundation for seeing Listwa’s vision and allowing us to curate this unique learning experience. taken in Balenbouche Estate by @listwacollective

This is community. 🫂

This group of creatives placed their unwavering trust in the Listwa Collective team, and had the pleasure of being the first to learn and share at the Tiwé Listwa Writing Retreat. In only 3 days, they were introduced to a world of perspectives and possibilities that will surely shape their work. taken in Balenbouche Estate by @listwacollective
