Why I Quit My Retail Job After Six Years + Advice

June 15, 2021 by Chet Kincaid in Personal

Hello Kincaid Viewers,

As always, I hope you’ve been well and are keeping safe as the world starts to reopen.

It is time for a story. Yes, the title says it all. After six “interesting” years I decided to take a leap of faith and quit my main source of income: fashion retail. There was much thought put into this decision and I don’t want you to think for one second that this was an impulsive decision.

ii. Bahamian Creole 101: Pronunciation

January 14, 2021 by Chet Kincaid in Social

Creole is defined as “a mother tongue formed from the contact of two languages through an earlier pidgin stage.”

With that knowledge we present you with our brand new mini video series titled ‘Bahamian Creole 101.’ The purpose of this video project is to inform individuals who are outside of the culture on how to speak The Bahamian tongue which is heavily influenced by the English language. The other purpose is to eradicate the xenophobic dialogue surrounding the word “creole” for individuals who were born and raised into the culture.

Dear 2021: Recapping 2020 and Looking Ahead...

January 01, 2021 by Chet Kincaid in Personal

Dear 2021,

I am sitting here racking my brain on how to approach this letter.

Well first, if you are reading this letter then you are blessed to have made it to see another year. I understand how hellish of a year it was for many people and my heart goes out to all who have lost a loved one(s) due to COVID-19 or any other unfortunate occurrence.

I always want to address my readers in a transparent manner even when it’s not the most politically correct. So about 2020, I have to say, it was filled with masked blessings. You see, I’m much more of a glass half full individual rather than a glass half empty one; I am always trying to see the positive in a situation.

242-212: Kamilah, The Bloopers

October 25, 2019 by Chet Kincaid in Music

Usually when The Kincaid Journal shoots an interview, we do two takes. This is so necessary because as you can see, Kamilah and I just could not stop laughing the first go around. There is nothing about speaking in front of the camera. Thank you again Kamilah for the great energy.
