My blood is made from the Savannah sun, store bay’s seas, Brasso Seco cocoa, the avenue’s alcohol, la brea’s black, sticky pitch, doses of DDI. I am born of the land of Trinidad & Tobago.
Imagine not doing the things that make you the happiest! I spent 12 years keeping everything that made me ‘me’ inside because I thought it wasn’t good enough. What a tragedy it would have been if I didn’t say “Meh, I’d rather just be me” : @edwardkcharlesofficial . . . #singer #songwriter #singersongwriter #storyteller #music #musicislife #creative #photography #photooftheday #picoftheday #melanin #brownskin #caribbeangirl #outdoorphotography #melaninqueen #blackgirlmagic #naturalhair (at Trinidad and Tobago) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgWKxRAEL5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x41706jli4uw
