    A lot of products here are jamaican bahamian. Some people have their negative views of the Bahamas but as a jamaican living in the Bahamas am doing good with the Bahamians. Its just how you as a person present yourself to others.

      Exactly… it’s how you present yourselves to people. I feel like the ones who have something bad to say are the ones who walk with arrogance and inflated national pride which none likes. So they probably get treated according to how they act.

    I love his interview. I am a Bahamian. My best memories of teachers were Jamaicans:Mrs. Turnquest, Ms Champanie, Ms Hylton, Ms Wilson. Very knowledgeable and worked hard with you for the GCE exams. Listening to this teacher brought back a lot of memories.
    But I think Bahamians love Jamaican music more than ny other music, besides from the Junkanoo.
    Great interview. Very truthful

She is a great inspration to many and the sunny side to the down side in Grand Bahama. The encomy here had been down for 15 or more years. Thanks to the goverments we empower and the hurricanes that has hit Grand Bahama for the past years. Having a Jamacian Bahamian society like she spoke about to help bring both cultures together would be a plus for this island. Like dhe mentioned we have 2 well known Jamacian resturants

      Couch is a Bahamian thing and there is no one in what you guys call the Caribbean can cook couch like Bahamians that's our food. Just like curry and oxtail is a Jamaican thing. Thank you have done a terrific job on this interview. It is better in the Bahamas. My country has people from every country but, my Bahamian people don't live in everyone's country . The one place they live out of their Bahamian country is the USA. Maybe that's what She is seeing now but Bahamians do go into teaching. Nonetheless the Bahamian government do recruit teachers from different countries. Bahamians have career as teachers, nurses ,doctors, lawyers etc. It's just that the government extends the olive branch to other countries. That's just how kind, friendly, and compassionate my government and my people are. Again thank you for such a great interview about my beautiful country.

    Very good interview.its been my second home for 36 years. I love that it was close to home. I enjoyed my time there but my last years were marked by discrimination and lies by one principal. I know more islands tban the average Bahamian. There is also an underlying culture of discrimination though that this teacher does'nt mention. But I love the Bahamas, overall though I was treated badly in my last years. Cost of living very high.

She has excellent view on who we are as Bahamians. But I must say as a older (in my mid 40's) Bahamian, hip hop will never be more loved than Reggae music!!
