The Caribbean Diaspora- What are we?

" For we are one people, one destination, so let us move on without hesitation." - Dennis Williams Franklyn (Merchant)

Greetings! This is Caribbean Girl.
As a Caribbean national living abroad I can proudly say I am a part of the Caribbean Diaspora. But, what is the CD? How does it affect me, you or the world in general? Who are we?

The formal definition of the word diaspora is:

a. A dispersion of a people from their original homeland.

b. The community formed by such a people:

The word, “diaspora” looms large in Caribbean history. It is entwined among the variegated roots of our origins, wraps itself like a liana around the solid if somewhat gnarled trunk of our common growth, and as some of our people branch off to a multiplicity of destinations, it blossoms, fructifies, and plants the seeds of our culture in whatever new lands they choose to inhabit.

So basically, the Caribbean Diaspora is made up of nationals from all parts of the Caribbean region who have migrated all over the world, taking their talents, skills, education, music, culture and passions to the countries in which they have settled while making outstanding positive contributions to the communities in which we chose to live.

How does that affect you? Caribbean culture is a part of everyday life for people in most parts of the world. Our food, our dialects, our culture and our influence in our adopted lands are prevalent.

The next few blog entries will focus on the the Diaspora and highlighting some prominent figures within it.

Remember,The Caribbean Returning Nationals Foundation, Inc. (CRNF) was created to inspire the Caribbean community living abroad to reinvest in and contribute to the land they love through community outreach programs, local investment opportunities, and other methods of philanthropy.

Our motto is:

"Giving back because we care"
