When scrolling so­cial me­dia, a video from Cheer­ful Com­pa­ny is hard to skip. Avril’s in­fec­tious laugh­ter, KP’s fa­cial ex­pres­sions and Shinzy’s calm hu­mour draw you right in. These women have been pro­vid­ing joy and com­e­dy to the en­tire Caribbean through our screens since 2024—and they’re just get­ting start­ed.

For Ker­nal Roberts, son of leg­endary ca­lyp­son­ian Lord Kitch­en­er (Ald­wyn Roberts), grow­ing up in the shad­ow of a mu­si­cal ti­tan was as over­whelm­ing as it was in­spir­ing.

When Nathan Dur­gas­ingh re­ceived a pair of Guc­ci slides for his 15th birth­day, they were the on­ly gift he got that year. His friend Rhys Thomp­son sur­prised him with them dur­ing a vis­it to South East Port-of-Spain Sec­ondary, where his moth­er worked in the school cafe­te­ria. He was a fa­mil­iar face, of­ten stop­ping by on his free days to lend a hand. The two quick­ly bond­ed over mu­sic, es­pe­cial­ly drum­ming. Grow­ing up in Laven­tille, Nathan had lit­tle ac­cess to brand-name items, and that act of kind­ness changed his life.

Just a few years ago, ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence (AI) was some­thing Kur­tis Rudd ap­proached with cau­tion. Like many in Trinidad and To­ba­go, his ear­ly im­pres­sions were shaped by warn­ings about dis­rup­tion, job loss and eth­i­cal con­cerns. To­day, how­ev­er, he stands at the fore­front of a grow­ing move­ment to make AI not on­ly ac­ces­si­ble, but prac­ti­cal and em­pow­er­ing for Caribbean pro­fes­sion­als.

Three of this coun­try’s best singers were heard in con­cert on Palm Sun­day at the Abbey at Mount St. Bene­dict.

The Wa­ter­loo Po­lice Youth Club (WPYC) cel­e­brat­ed East­er with a high­ly suc­cess­ful, first-ever fam­i­ly day and sport­ing ex­trav­a­gan­za, which fea­tured sev­er­al fun ac­tiv­i­ties for scores of chil­dren from the com­mu­ni­ty.
