On this day in 1948 Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury Docks from the Caribbean. On board 1,000 passengers from Commonwealth countries who had answered a call from the UK Government to leave their homes and help rebuild the nation after WW2. Today is #WindrushDay ❤️

The contribution of the Windrush Generation is vast and varied. Arriving from the Caribbean to help rebuild Britain, they brought not only a sense of style but also a strong sense of community, including my dad and mum. We celebrate their impact on British culture. #WindrushDay

Big up to my people who fought in #WW2 and then came to the UK to rebuild the place. A valuable service that needs to be recognised DAILY!! We celebrate you especially today on this #WINDRUSHDAY #Jamaica #LikkleButWelallawah #Representing

The importance of creating and holding space spaces has never been more crucial than it is right now. To achieve greatness, we need to be heard and seen, and for that, there needs to be a safe space to start with.

Happy Independence Day to all Jamaicans! 🇯🇲Let's come together to celebrate and uplift one another. #IndependenceDay

Today is Jamaica’s 62nd yr of ‘Independence’ - still shackled to British monarchy. - ‘out of many one people’ fraudulently hides the wealth & class divide between the African majority & foreign settlers. - Tourism has us in a chokehold. Love mi Lickle island same way 🙏🏽❤️
