Folklore 4: Lagahoo is mostly found in Trinidad and Haiti. He is a shapeshifter man by day and whatever he wants at night… it could be a headless man or dog. He roams the night dragging a coffin of souls behind him with large chains wrapped around his waist. He feeds on the liver Continued ⬇️

I really wonder whether the administration knows (or cares) that the politics surrounding Mifepristone don't just affect abortion; they stifle research into conditions like fibroids, which affect 80% of Black women

Cartagena de Indias, Colombia 🇨🇴 Founded in 1533, the city served as a primary gateway for the Spanish Empire in the New World, celebrated for its Caribbean culture and preserved Spanish colonial history. #cities #travel #heritage #culture #visit

May 8, 1902, Mount La Pelée on the Caribbean island of Martinique erupts. An entire city with 30.000 people is destroyed ...

People are literally in line at polling places right now. This is not even pretending to be subtle anymore

All my dogs slept with me last night. Usually, I only get to sleep with two, but all four slept with me last night. I was HOT. I was squished. I had no blanket. It was the best night of my life

This is not a drug war. This is a body count.

We owe it to the 'Many' to remember that without Tony’s bass and his pen, the 70s would have sounded a lot more hollow. Rest in power to a man who proved that a boy from Trinidad could write the soundtrack for the world. 🇹🇹

Trinidad ~ Cuba ~ 2016 ~ Part III

I literally just touched down from Trinidad, and let me tell you, that Port of Spain heat is no joke

As a filmmaker, I love that the real Bond was out there in the mud, documenting the roseate spoonbills and the rare warblers

CARIBBEAN ACTIVIST CINEMA 🎞️ Now playing on the Criterion Channel! Born from a period of intense political upheaval, these radical Caribbean films spotlight vital stories of workers’ movements, decolonial struggle, and liberation from economic exploitation and violent oppression.

We have to stop letting people use the trauma of survivors to justify a system that arguably produces more trauma than it 'solves.

We live in a time where a joke is treated with more legal and moral scrutiny than actual policy.

We have to stop calling it 'internalized anti-blackness' and start calling it what it actually is: a sophisticated, state-sponsored project of erasure.

Genuinely in shock, if I put "Competitive Smash Player to Failed Assassin" in a treatment for a political film, the producers would laugh me out of the room for being "unrealistic" and "too online

It’s the same energy as a self-cleaning oven, why isn't the whole bathroom 'self-cleaning' by osmosis?

Given how medical professionals and political authorities constantly lie about trans people it's amazing more of us aren't conspiracy theorists, like we'd have every reason

In the Caribbean, we call it being a macco!

The audacity of the Canadian climate to be this disrespectful while I have a production schedule to maintain. My brain is still in Port of Spain, but my body is in Toronto

The world isn't just watching the president, we are actively watching the structural rot that allowed all this to happen in the first place. I am sure that the damage to the global psyche is generational.

We’re a little over a 1/3 of the year through. April still showering. May will bring flowers. I know a lot of us are just floating along because we have to. We’re in the monatony loop - and that’s okay. We’re still here and its something to be grateful for. Some wins are coming for you. Keep going.

Watching the US systematically shut its doors to the very people who build its prestige is... something.

It’s easy to call it 'safe' when you’re looking at the past through a neon-filtered lens

There is a very specific kind of peace in seeing a film shot in Lagos or Nairobi that doesn’t feel the need to explain itself to a Western gaze. 🇿🇦 #filmsky #africasky

Tired of hearing the Hollywood actor attempt a 'general island' accent that sounds like a blend of Irish, Jamaican, and a fever dream!

This week's favorite movie? You, Me & Tuscany I’ve always said representation isn’t just about the struggle; it’s about the dreaming, too. Reframing Eurocentric rom-com tropes with a Black woman’s joyful journey of self-discovery is a win for all of us. My favorite watch for the week

There is so much to do, but I’m reminding myself that we have to listen to our bodies. Step one: figure out these sleeping patterns

Needing to update my Caribbean/film watch list

Nothing beats ending the day with a dose of sharp, global perspective. 🌍 Watching Trevor noah before bed has become my nightly ritual

It’s absolutely harrowing.

Tick tock. It's reparations-o'clock.

Recognition at last! The UN acknowledges the crimes of slavery. CARICOM’s fight for reparations continues. #CaribbeanPower #ReparationsNow

Celebrating Spike Lee! and also the wider community of Black filmmakers whose work continues to shape the culture alongside him

Of course he did. Ryan Coogler does nothing without intention!

Great to see Black creatives recognized on the global stage last night. Congratulations to Michael B. Jordan and cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw for their work on Sinners. Powerful storytelling deserves to travel far. #Oscars

Looking forward to the Oscars this weekend. I have my popcorn and prediction list ready

Love this!

Happy Women's Day from me and some of the women from my films!

Happy Women’s Month. Grateful for the women who keep building, creating, leading, and showing up for their communities every day. Keep shining.

Went for a walk for the fifth day in a row. Grateful for small disciplines that steady the mind and renew the spirit. Happy for the rhythm. 🌿

This week I’m starting a special eating routine and cooking every day. Excited for the reset 🍽️✨

Happy Black History Month!

One of my favorite films to direct thus far has been Hero: The Extraordinary Life of Mr. Ulric Cross! In this scene, you'll see Jessica B. Hill, who plays Nicola Cross, documenting an interview. It was important for me to position the story’s lens as female. #filmsky #caribbeansky #moviesky
