Trinidadians have 14 holidays on a year and 12 months in a year AND STILL COMPLAIN about not having enough time off. In Canada we only have 9. Ease me please. Allyuh have it good.
Y’all remember the part of the pandemic where it was World Cup of flags and the whole world tried to fight down our flag? Or was that just a fever dream?
Afrobeats has time and a place and carnival isn’t the time nor the place. Especially with the attitude that some Africans have towards Caribbean culture and carnival specifically. Them is the quickest to call West Indian women hoes because of carnival. (IN MY OPINION)
Let’s continue
If I was to married, I woulda married a pot, not no ordinary pot but a nice hot pot! Cuz when pot does bubble I does bubble and we does bubble all together. In the middle of d night when d ting just right we go bubble one another

Him:

Sometimes you just have to. It hurts a lot more but duty calls. For example one year I was going on vacation and had my period the week before and I had to do it. It’s super painful.
Being the one that has to break the generational curse is ridiculous. Why can’t I just siddung and have children with Wotless men? Why I hadda work hard to bring generational wealth and go to therapy to heal?
“Gonna be lit 🔥” is not on brand for Sephora. I did a whole project on their brand management. Starting an Instagram account is not how they would introduce a new store… sorry guys. If it’s true then
There’s a lot of things Trinidad can take from the Western World but I hope they don’t adopt this grayscale living. Losing colour in Trinidad is losing culture.
Trinidad is far from tolerant tbh. 2018 jouvert I went with a group that had two gay men in it and jouvert was cut short because one of them was rushed and beat up just for dancing and being themselves. They weren’t bothering nobody nothing. So to say this is dense.
To say Trinidadian men are violently homosexual requires more evidence because we are probably one of the most tolerant societies in the region and further. I understand you felt the need to defend yourself by throwing that in there but please touch some grass. Read. Travel.
Prices for carnival overall need to be monitored. Trinidad is the mecca BUT overpricing will price several people out of the market and drive them to alternative destination experiences
This girl on the clock app thinks she doesn't have yt privilege in Trinidad cuz ppl does automatically think she's rich and ppl does be mean to her in stores
This is a very lie down and take whatever you get opinion like we aren’t paying money for these events and expect a certain level of event. Y’all act like this is the first time dem putting on these things.
All these harsh reviews on parties are very annoying.
People working in the industry killing themselves for us, carnival come back from a 2 year hiatus and y’all expect everything to be perfect? Be grateful that we get carnival back and focus on having a good time nah
@KimelleF
Girl & the thing is is that in Canada it’s not even guaranteed that you’ll get it off work. There’s legal loop holes. In Trinidad once it’s a holiday and you working unless you working in food you’re off.
Since yall out here making this tweets do numbers. Theres no such thing as bad publicity.
Follow my beauty account. Ya girl just started doing lashes. If youre in the GTA feel free.
Taking new clients next month.
@JoviModeste
But Jovi…. You can’t have one of the most expensive fetes of the season then come talk about overprice this and over price that when not one of his 7 fetes that he throws for the season are actually affordable.
I went from years of nobody buying me flowers to waking up to 3 sets of bouquets of flowers on my desk from the three people I cherish the most. Sometimes it does get better. ❤️
I just realized that if I want to gentle parent my kid I can’t say “Yuh faddah is a glass maker? Move yuh ass from infront d tv” to them and that upsets me…
If we speak about culinary excellence. No Caribbean country and I mean none can not cook as well as Barbados. (If you went uwi and only ate at the mount or from somebody food van your opinion does not count here)
All I wanna add to this is that there are many FREE or Low cost carnival related activities and they don’t get the marketing and the push that they should get. The things that are getting the push are the expensive flashy things.
You guys are essentially arguing that if you’re not willing to spend money on carnival then you do not love carnival culture. That’s a very slippery slope and a poorly constructed argument. I don’t wanna tussle but please just think about all the ppl who cannot afford but LOVE it
I strive to wear my natural hair for the biggest events in my life to end the cycle that you need long straight hair for special events. I started that today with my uni grad🥹
More people need to grasp the concept of being educated before speaking. Doing a simple google search before speaking on something can make the world of difference.🙄
