Barbados' poet laureate, Esther Phillips, uses her powerful words to fight for justice against the legacy of slavery.
Growing up near a former plantation fueled her mission to amplify the silenced voices of enslaved Africans.
Through her evocative poetry, Phillips aims to make modern audiences feel the pain and injustice of the past.
She seeks not just acknowledgement but also reparations for the enduring consequences of colonial exploitation.
