Chronicles of a Grenadian American Boy in Turks & Caicos Islands

We were both a bit skeptical, after all… just picture

thousands of people coated in old engine oil,

black and glistening... with big chains around their

necks, horns on their heads, lips dripping red
liquid… some even had snakes… and they would

all be chanting “Ooh Lay Ooh Laa Jab Jab!!” all to

the sounds of conch shells and goat skin drums.

I returned to Providenciales with fond and

exciting memories of Grenada. We enjoyed the

experience again in the years to come… but little
did I know that in 2019 after another tremendous

visit to Grenada, that in early 2020, the world will

be facing a major crisis.
