OurCaribbeanStory.com is Live — And a New Chapter Begins
Welcome to Our Caribbean Story.
For months, I’ve been sharing the hidden history of St. Lucia and the wider Caribbean — the empires, the freedom fighters, the spiritual traditions, and the stories that were almost lost. What started as a YouTube channel has now grown into something bigger: a permanent home for our history.
OurCaribbeanStory.com is now live.
This site is a video archive and a learning space. Here, you’ll find every series I’ve created, organized and easy to explore:
- Our African Connections — the empires and ethnic groups our ancestors came from, the legal and religious foundation of colonization
- Our Caribbean Connections — the men and women who resisted slavery and colonialism
- Our South American Connections — St. Lucia’s indigenous peoples
- Our Heroes — Our maroons, freedom fighters and the St. Lucian who saved Simón Bolívar’s life
- Our St. Lucia — The resilience of our ancestors and our culture of resistance
- You’ll also find a Recommendations page featuring books and community tourism experiences that support local people and go deeper into the history we share.
And now, for what’s coming next.
On October 1st, an ebook will be released on Amazon about Jean Baptiste Bideau — the St. Lucian hero who saved Simón Bolívar’s life. Bolívar himself wrote: “I was going to shoot myself when one of them, Mr. Bideau, came back in a boat and saved me.”
Bideau was born in Desruisseaux, St. Lucia. He fought for freedom across the Caribbean and South America. And his story has been almost forgotten — until now.
The ebook goes deeper into his life, his battles, and his legacy. It launches October 1st.
