Price is the owner of The Black Cake Company, based in Brooklyn.

Read my story on Price here: https://www.caribbeanlife.com/for-this-barbadian-native-kindness-is-best-expressed-through-baking/

This week, I learned that “Guhbackhehay”, a Bajan expression, means “Go back he is here” from their saying “The moon bright like guhbackhehay”. It refers to an extramarital affair in which a woman alerted her lover to the fact that her husband was home by shouting at the moon “Look at the moon. It’s bright like guhbackhehay.”

On July 4, 1973, the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) was established when the leaders of Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago signed the Treaty of Chaguaramas in Chaguaramas, Trinidad and Tobago. This political and economic union now has 15 member states throughout the Americas and Atlantic Ocean.

I'm reading the #Barbados High Court decision decriminalizing gay sex, recently published. Powerful judgment. 🇧🇧
People "are discriminated against based on their sexual orientation, both in this Island and abroad. This is a basic reality of life which cannot be ignored." https://t.co/Dmf9dvhxLv

Det här är presidenten på Barbados, ett litet pytterike i Karibien. Hon är intelligent, kunnig, vältalig. Jag skäms lite för att hon överträffar mina fördomar. #Barbados #islandstates
