I also sought out to read Caribbean fabulist/magic realism/spec-fic stories, & read a sci-fi story with #patwah in it. There is so much Afrofuturism & Caribbeanfuturism out there. #patois

I still feel hurt how I tried texting a Jamaican friend several years ago & my #patois spelling & grammar was SO bad, she responded with laughter. Decided then & there to study it. Even got a short #patwah conversation published in a sci-fi short story.

I need to practice writing & reading outloud more #patwah. I can understand most of it(depending on how deep the accent). #Patois
