to Toyin Falola, dialogue
Great suggestions. Right now air tickets to and
from the Caribbean to any part of Africa
are extremely expensive. Visa free travel is also
going to reduce stress. Right now it seems that
only two countries in the Caribbean have that
option.
Prime Minister Mia Mottley of Barbados
is a visionary Pan-Africanist.
