Chronicles of a Grenadian American Boy in Turks & Caicos Islands

Thankfully, the teachers and principal comforted

me on those tough days and, gradually, I became

more comfortable. On Saturdays my family and
I would go to the popular Jamaican family-owned

restaurant, Chinsons. My sister, Eden, loved their

cocoa bread that is soft with every bite. I would

enjoy their mini-beef patties accompanied with a

mouth-watering mango smoothie, which would
make my palate dance, and my parents would

always order their spicy jerk chicken with an

alcoholic beverage of choice!

In the blink of an eye, we were in 2015 which was

the year I celebrated my 4th birthday with friends
and family at one of my favourite local restaurants,

Bugaloos, in Paw Patrol style! We had loads of fun

playing games, in the beautiful turquoise water and

eating yummy cake!!! My family and I became

more settled and Providenciales finally started to

feel more like home!
