Chronicles of a Grenadian American Boy in Turks & Caicos Islands

Chapter 2: Grenadian Beginnings

Daycare began in scary fashion, but quickly

became a fun experience. Grenadians are known
for their relaxed and friendly nature, and my

caregivers were now referred to as my aunties!!!

Two years flew by quickly, and it was towards the

end of that period that my dad received a job

offer in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

A new and exciting, yet scary adventure started

because my family was now expanding. We flew

back to Florida to welcome my sister, Eden, but

this time Dad was not present because of a job

offer he accepted in the Turks and Caicos.

After my beautiful sister was born, mom, my sister

and I went back to the “Spice Island” before join-

ing Dad six months later in the Turks and Caicos

Islands. Flying into Providenciales, Turks and

Caicos in the night was a magnificent sight; my
imagination was greeted with a surprise. Still,

many thoughts wandered in my mind.
