I honour the history that made my joy possible.
I remember that expression was defended, not granted.
I carry my culture with awareness, courage and respect.
My presence is part of a lineage that refused erasure.

Canboulay reminds us that Carnival was not handed down politely.
It was defended, reshaped and protected when silence was demanded.
Joy here is not accidental.
It is remembered resistance.
