Where is St Lucia/Lucian and what's it like there?

🇱🇨Saint Lucia changed hands of ownership between England & France 14 times!! Lol yes a whopping 14 times (7 times France, 7 times England) until England eventually won. But there is still many remnants of French influence that can be found like in our Kwèyól (Creole) language for example. We gained independence on February 22, 1979. We’re a volcanic island and you can even explore the Sulphur Springs where the (mostly inactive I hope🤣) volcano is. The drive in Sulphur Springs is one of our main tourist attractions along with our beautiful mountain peaks The Pitons. And if you like hiking you can tackle the Petit Piton and the more difficult Gros Piton. Like most islands we have our cultural events and our yearly carnival which is super lit 💃🏾✨🪅🎊🌴🇱🇨 Lots of great food especially fresh seafood and there are weekly fish frys you can attend in different parts of the island. There’s more I could mention but that’s a little quick summary for you 👍🏾❤️ 🏝️

We have not turned “into” a violent society but are inheritors of it. Citing findings by Grenadian psychologist Lennox Thomas, Dr Singh says the violence and trauma Caribbean people daily experience was built on colonial systems of slavery and indentureship. “It’s not surprising that the social model is replicated in the home… whip, punch, kick, strangle… that’s how it worked with the overseer on the plantation,” who took out his own frustration, impotence) “with mother, wife, sister, daughter which fed back into the macro level, so we live in a constant loop of reinforcing violence.”

Speaking on the Ellen Show, Knightley said her daughter (who was born in 2015) was “banned” from watching Cinderella, which Disney produced as a cartoon in 1950 and a live-action film in 2015. “[Cinderella] waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don't. Rescue yourself!

Says the woman who starred in a trilogy that said, "No murderers and theives were good actually because they wanted freedom."

Norrington stands, sees her for the first time. They stand back to back — see they are surrounded by assailants. Norrington is fey, ready to take on the world. // All of Jones' men are gathered, ready to attack. Too many to fight. Elizabeth and Norrington stand side by side. // The moment is broken. A lingering look — and then Norrington draws his sword, turns. Elizabeth stands beside him.
