FREEPORT, Grand Bahama – May 22, 2023 — Deborah Anderson Pratt posted a collection of photos on Facebook on Monday, May 22, and we decided to share some of them with readers of BAHAMAS CHRONICLE, which has a huge following among the Bahamian diaspora across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and, of course, The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. They were posted with the following narrative:
“The Grand Bahama Independence Beat Retreat was an incredible success! The energy, pride, and unity showcased during this event were remarkable. From captivating performances to heartwarming speeches, we united as a community to commemorate our nation’s independence. The rhythmic beats echoed through the air, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage that makes The Bahamas unique.
