From the CARICON Poetry Slam to the Wintertuin stage. 🇧🇧🇨🇼

Last night, I had the honour of performing on the Ambiente Stage at Wintertuin Curaçao Festival as the only Barbados representative and 2026 CARICON Poetry Slam Champion!

Grateful for another opportunity to bring my words, my Bajan voice and a piece of home to a diverse Caribbean audience.

Thank you to the Wintertuin team for the invitation and to everyone who spent part of their night listening.

Curaçao, much love. ❤️
