What Grenada Has Taught Me

My mothers side of the family is from a small but mighty island in the Caribbean. I was born and raised in the United States of America. Over the last 6 months, I have been living in Grenada the Island of Spice and this country has taught me many lessons. Recently I was asked by some tourists what my observations have been and in what difference I have observed between the USA & Grenada. In this video I will speak to some of them.

I'm Grenadian living in New York and I always hear people say if someone give you lemons you can make lemonade , base on what you are saying it's exactly what Grenadians are doing , we make a lot from a little ,

[@melissaingridlawrence]

Yes, and that was one of the many inspirational things I've observed since being here. It is said that, "necessity is the mother of invention". Because Grenadians MUST do for self, they have the creativity to get what they need done for themselves. It's beautiful to observe. 😁✌🏾

This is us Grenadians we know how to make do. Hence you won't see homelessness or poverty in Grenada as other Caribbean islands. Also prostitutes on the streets are a no no in Grenada. We built differently in Grenada.

How u going to compare Grenada to America

[@melissaingridlawrence]

Thank you for your comment! I believe both countries have their strengths and weaknesses, and that each culture can learn from the other. I hope that answers your question. God Bless you 😁✌🏾
