We equip Caribbean communities to break free from generational trauma, fostering emotional wellness and healing the psychic wounds of slavery. Our mission: create as many Caribbean pink flamingoes as possible.
The Body Keeps Score
Slavery was abolished in the British Caribbean on August 1, 1834. The last Caribbean country declared independence on September 19, 1983. But the psychological wounds remain deeply embedded in individuals, children, families and communities. We see the social effects of these wounds manifesting in various ways:
“The psychological wounds of slavery manifest as generational trauma that limits peace, joy and potential. We cannot heal what we do not acknowledge.”
Our Approach
We are creating a movement of emotional wellness that will ripple through generations, transforming families, communities, and nations through our four core initiatives.
Our Flock Takes Flight
The body keeps score when the conscious minds forget. Every Pink Flamingo resource, therapy session, and workshop creates ripples of healing that transform generational wounds into generational wellness. Watch our flock grow as we work towards our 2025 goals:

Pink Flamingo Voices of Healing
Hear powerful stories from those who have experienced the impact of our work:
"These persons have been helped by your demonstration of genuine care for them, via your financial support, to take responsible action in seeking & being open to receiving therapeutic help. They have all described it as difference-making, & personally as well as relationally life-transforming.”
"I've spoken to and mentored men and women who show up and look successful but mentally their entire world in burning down. They don’t feel seen or heard. They don't know how to cope emotional. They feel emotionally unsafe with their spouses, partners and family, even people who have been married for 30+ years. I've had experiences where grown adults break down and cry for the first time in years when they finally realize they can speak up and share on a psychological level.”
“Caribbean people are resilient. Slavery showed us that. But I’d very much love for us to not have to demonstrate our “resilience and strength” using the behaviors we adopted to cope and survive during our past slavery experiences.
I’d love to see us thrive on every level with patterns and behaviors that give us joy and peace on every level. That allow us to reach our full potential as we show up and serve others in ways that honor God’s plan for the Caribbean, honor our needs on every level and honor our neighbors. That’s the Caribbean I dream of.” – Chanel Robe – Founder
