aka. JKB Studios,

“Fi We T’ing, Fi We Culture: Is all about celebrating what makes the Caribbean so special, our culture, our traditions and the stories that have been passed down through generations. This is resistance and pride, every detail holds an energy, a memory and legacy. We’re not just preserving the culture, the resilience and joy that can’t fade. We’re living it out loud and proud for the generations that come to feel it, claim it and carry it forward.
