I am an author of Garifuna descent from Belize, Central America. The Garifuna people arrived from West Africa to the island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (Yurumein ) around 1635 and were exiled by the British in 1796 to the Carribean coast of Roatan, Honduras. After the Garifuna people settled in Honduras, many decided to migrate and built communities in Belize, Guatemala, and Bluefield Nicaragua along the Caribbean Sea in coastal towns and villages.
