“Your school days are your best days.” That’s an old saying that is popular in Trinidad and Tobago. However, bullying and incessant homophobia made my time in school anything but fun. This episode of the Trini Trent Radio podcast is personal for me. As I continue on my journey of self-discovery, I recognise there are

Worldstar! Forget conflict resolution, let’s knock somebody out. Compassion is weakness. Love is for school girls. Indeed, the only important thing in life is winning.

On this week’s episode of Trini Trent Radio, we are talking about forgiveness. It is something that we all receive and issue to others yet many of us still struggle to understand the concept.

Every year, New York City hosts the Labor Day West Indian Parade, which gives both Caribbean natives and their American-born counterparts the opportunity to celebrate their roots…or does it?

Let’s talk about sex, baby. Sex is a part of our lives as adults but for many of us, it can be an awkward, sloppy and downright uncomfortable experience. Well, for some men, it is more similar to a game of conquest in which they move from person to person. That hypersexuality of men, especially black

Where have all the men gone? Have they been abducted by aliens or did they slip into a blackhole? On this episode of Trini Trent Radio, Terry Torro and I highlight the many issues black men – gay and straight – face while building and maintaining relationships. As men, we recognise that our communities have serious

Homophobia, child abuse, homelessness, rape.

In fact, the opposite of acceptance is the status quo. On this week’s episode of the Trini Trent Radio podcast, Terry Torro and I are
