Your storyteller

Meet Mrs. Boyce

Every saying in the Bajan edition comes to you from Mrs. Boyce — an old-time Barbadian grandmother with a crown of silver hair and a story for every occasion. She says the old words in true dialect, has a good laugh, then leans in and tells you what they really mean.

♫ Coming soon to video — hear Mrs. Boyce say them in her own Bajan voice.
