Coming "Back Home" to Grenada: Are we Reclaiming or Imposing?

In this conversation with leadership consultant and entrepreneur David McQueen, we go straight into the uncomfortable territory that most Caribbean relocation content avoids. We talk about land ownership, diaspora identity, what it really means to return to the Caribbean, and whether coming back to claim what's yours is an act of reclamation or something more complicated than that. This is not a highlight reel of island life in Grenada. It's a real conversation about ownership, responsibility, legacy, and the tension that comes with being second or third generation and finally deciding to act on the pull you've always felt. If you're part of the African Caribbean diaspora thinking about relocating to Grenada, buying land in the Caribbean, or building something meaningful in the place your family is from — this one is for you.
