A) I go by This Bahamian Gyal, but I was born in Scotland when my mum attended the University of Edinburgh. B) Sade is my favourite singer.

    Keeping it 300! I started my YouTube journey last Keeping it 300! I started my YouTube journey last Halloween and had no idea what to expect. I didn't know if I would have a voice on the platform. I didn't know what type of content I wanted to do or whether people would be interested in seeing yet "another" YouTuber. I am so happy that I am coming into my own on the platform. It is my absolute favourite social media spot. Even though it takes hours to prep, record, edit and upload my videos it gives me SO MUCH joy. It NEVER feels like work and I love the challenge. I think it's so important to celebrate small victories. Every YouTuber who now has hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers had to start with one subscriber. I am so excited about my growth. I see great success on the horizon. If you're not subscribed to my channel yet, what are you waiting for? Thank you to ALL of my DAY ONES. The people who always LIKE and give feedback on my videos. I love and appreciate you all so very much. You have no idea. Thank you. I plan to be consistent and keep giving you bingeworthy content. New videos EVERY Wednesday at 1pm (EST) THANK YOU!!!💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛😘 #thisbahamiangyal #youtubers #youtuberstofollow #youtube #blackyoutubers #entertainment #blackcreatives
