For many, home isn’t a straight line. It’s a story of being “twice removed.”
Think about the British legacy in the Caribbean. Between 1838 and 1917, over half a million Indians were moved to Guyana and Trinidad as indentured laborers for sugar plantations. They spent a century building a life there, only to be uprooted again to find a third home in the West.
You see this history in the rhythmic island lilt of an accent and in the food—like a Trinidadian “double,” which is the evolution of Indian chana and puri that traveled across the ocean twice.
To be twice removed is to carry two departures and two survivals. It’s a reminder that home isn’t just where you landed; it’s the long, winding map of how you got there.
