Quotes

  • “In a family, children leave and go and set up their own households and that does not in any way affect the relationship between the family.”
  • “Our people humanized the violent, inhumane slave plantation society that the British colonialists had established, (but) we are still faced with the insidious nature of a culture that is intended to dehumanize black people wherever black or blackness is found, and our parliaments therefore, while we shall be in the vanguard of removing all laws of discrimination, it is the mental emancipation that shall forever always matter.”
  • “To ask us (Barbados) to continue carrying the battle against the backdrop of the (COVID-19) pandemic and not having contributed to the crisis to greenhouse gases is really unacceptable. We can't fight the pandemic or climate crisis from a national perspective. All of us have to cooperate globally, or we're not going to win this battle.”
  • “"The world needs us to rise up and change our behaviour."”
