Episode 17: Parrotbeetie and Lukeyism: Barbados, Crop Over, and Queerness

In this episode of Parrotbeetie, Raafeke invites Bajan influencer and digital specialist, Luke to shed light on history, changes, and queer life on the tiny island Barbados. The two of them discuss Barbados creation as a slave-holding colony, its subsequent growth, independence, and most recently, elevation to a republic. This conversation is mixed with discussion around the island's Crop Over festival and the experience of queer individuals within the West Indies and among its diaspora.
