What is road tennis?

Road tennis is a sport indigenous to Barbados that is a combination of table tennis, lawn tennis and traditional tennis. Watch this video from the Barbados Government Information Service to learn more about this incredible sport that reflects Caribbean ingenuity.

We’re raising $10,000 for mental health!

We are intimately familiar with the realities of Black communities and individuals accessing health care resources. Through our event, The Bajan Serve, we wanted to provide an opportunity for people to learn more about Caribbean culture but through the lens of health and wellness. Naturally, when we were thinking about where our support would be most impactful, there was a ton of organic alignment with the intention behind our event and the mission and values of Black Health Alliance

Through this fundraiser, we’re able to extend our efforts beyond our event and invite our community to support the work of an incredible charity that prioritizes access to health resources and increases health literacy through research on Black people.
