And the Caribbean is part of the diaspora, which is the sixth region of Africa.

and we are proud of it, but we also have to do some serious repair.

There is no direct link by boat or by plane that is scheduled between Africa and the Caribbean.

And yet between Barbados and Africa, there is no landfall.

Explain that, make that make sense to me.

So- You know what this makes me think of?

And I wonder if there's anything similar in your history, but in South Africa, there was a thing that my grandmother introduced me to because she was part of it.

I just watched her.

They called it a society.

And what it was, was a collection of all the old grannies

And they would put money into a collection pot, right?

Just their own money, a small amount of money they would put together.

So let's just say dollars, because everyone, you know, so you put in your $10 and this group of 20, 30 women would put their $10 in every month.

And every month that fund, that little kitty,

would then give one of the grannies a lump sum of money.

You know why I'm laughing?

Why?

That's a susu.

That's what it's called?

A susu.
