Bowling for Cascade
AS TOLD TO BC PIRES
My name is Jade Rodriguez and I played cricket for Peru.
I’m half-Dominican, half-Trinidadian, born in the Dominican Republic. Mummy was a diplomat and we moved around a lot!
The only places we’d constantly go back to were Trinidad and the DR.
Mummy never let me ever forget my ties to either of those cultures, the only constants in my life full of change.
Most of my Trinidadian relatives live in Cascade and that’s where I feel most at home.
I first went to Trinidad when I was two months old and Mummy took the new baby to meet the Trini family.

An East London university professor and scientist has offered unique insight into why the Covid-19 vaccine is worryingly low among Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. An undated document released by Sage on January 15 found adults in minority ethnic groups were less likely to receive the vaccine than those in white groups, by between 10-20%.

Scores of tributes to slave traders, colonialists and racists have been taken down or will be removed across the UK, a Guardian investigation has found, with hundreds of others under review by local authorities and institutions.
In what was described by historians as an “unprecedented” public reckoning with Britain’s slavery and colonial past, an estimated 39 names – including streets, buildings and schools – and 30 statues, plaques and other memorials have been or are undergoing changes or removal since last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests.
The movement to remove contentious landmarks has involved a wide section of society, from schools and universities to private landlords, pubs, churches, charitable trusts and councils.
