Staceyann Chin meets me at her home in Kingston, Jamaica, as she gets ready to make the journey out to her farm Kindred on the Rock, in rural St. Catherine. Staceyann purchased the land for the farm during the pandemic, shortly after returning home to Jamaica following a two decade long exile.
Staceyann is a queer Jamaican, feminist, poet, and activist. In the late 1990s, she was the target of a brutal attack that led to her to leave the country to find safety. She was sexually assaulted by a group of men after coming out publicly as a lesbian. Two decades on, Staceyann is revered internationally for her profound, groundbreaking work as a feminist, poet, activist, and mother. Her radical activism and her success in the creative industries serves as an inspiration to many Jamaicans belonging to the queer community.
