About Uschesterconnell.com is not about Chester Connell.chesterconnell.com is a tool, a process, a documentation, the re-construction of the community that was and is Youremain.Through this site Chester Connell seeks to remember, recognize, record and reward the unique community and the spiritual and geographic island space first named Youremain by the Garifuna people.If we do not record our stories, our persons, what we created and established, our names, we will not remain. Youremain and its wealth of knowledge will disappear. In many ways, it already has, replaced by a Eurocentric construct named "St. Vincent and the Grenadines"."If we don't record ourstory™, they will recode our destiny."
Chester Connell ©That is why Youremain Biographies exists.Youremain is our ourstory™. It is who we are.Youremain is our mission. It is what we do.Youremain is our purpose. It is why we do.Youremain is our vision. It is our future, our past and our present.
