We Is We!

We Gatherin’ 2025 Newsletter

“A man travels the world in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.” – African Proverb

Home is more than just a place, it is a feeling, a connection, a deep-rooted sense of belonging that calls us back, no matter how far we roam. It is the warmth of familiar voices, the embrace of tradition, and the reassurance that no matter how much the world changes, home remains constant.

We is We is more than just a magazine; it is a celebration of the spirit of return, a monthly reflection on the We Gatherin’ campaign here in Barbados. This movement is a powerful reminder that home is always waiting, always open, always ready to receive us with open arms. Whether you are returning after years away, rediscovering your roots, or deepening your connection to the land and people, We Gatherin’ is an invitation to come back—not just physically, but emotionally, culturally, and spiritually.

In this first edition, we explore what it truly means to “come home.” We share stories of reconnection, highlight the traditions that bind us, and embrace the shared history that unites Barbadians across generations and continents.

Wherever life takes you, know that home is not just a destination—it is a sanctuary. And here, you are always welcomed home!
