The Lush Kingdom wants to share a REAL Caribbean narrative that is as bold , creative, chaotic and energetic as the Carnivals that unite us.
We fight for our true story to exist. A Caribbean Identity; is one that defines the full extent of who we are. Because like every other tribe, we want to leave behind a legacy that embraces the fullness of our existence.
