Diaspora Homecoming: Grenada’s diaspora is being invited to help rebuild the island’s hurricane-hit spice economy, with Ambassador Terry Forrester announcing June 28 as “Spice Replanting Day” in Brooklyn—aimed at replanting nutmeg and spice trees alongside the Grenada Co-operative Nutmeg Association and the Ministry of Agriculture, after decades of setbacks from major storms including Ivan (2004), Emily, and Hurricane Beryl’s damage to Carriacou & Petite Martinique and northern Grenada. Earthquake Watch: In the wider region, a powerful 6.0 quake rattled the Eastern Caribbean, with Antigua and Barbuda residents reporting strong shaking and no immediate reports of major damage. Legacy & Reparations: France marked the 25-year anniversary of the Taubira Law while Macron said reparations for slavery’s legacy must be addressed—without promising a specific financial plan. Education Push: McMaster University’s chancellor, Grenada-born Dr Nicholas Brathwaite, urged students to “deploy” their education to make a difference as he was formally installed this week.
