Yesterday’s interview on @cbcnewsbarbados was amazing! We discussed how the @gubaawards celebrates and acknowledges the incredible work of people in the African diaspora, as well as companies and individuals who support our community. It’s about proving that success is possible both in the diaspora and on the African continent. I shared the importance of bridging the gap and reconnecting people to their African heritage. We also touched on the need for direct airline connections between Africa and the Caribbean, and why intra-African trade and collaboration are vital for our collective growth. African Diaspora: Success, Unity, and Stronger Connections. #GUBAAwards #AfricanDiaspora #CaribbeanConnections #TradeAndCollaboration #HeritageAndPride #GUBAinBarbados
