About us

We are the
same island,
further north.

Vincentians in the DMV is a community organisation dedicated to uniting individuals connected to St. Vincent and the Grenadines across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC.

Who we are

Not a club.
A landing place.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines is thirty-two islands and cays holding a little over a hundred thousand people. A significant share of every Vincentian family now lives somewhere else — and a lot of that somewhere else is right here, between the Beltway and the Bay.

We promote culture, community development and meaningful connections across the diaspora. In practice that means the food is right, the music is right, and when somebody new arrives at Dulles or BWI there is a number they can call.

We are volunteer-run. Nobody here draws a salary. Everything you see was built on evenings and weekends by people with day jobs and children and a stubborn refusal to let the thing fade.

Our mission

To connect, empower and uplift Vincentians in the DMV through culture, community engagement and opportunity.

What we stand on

Four things we
argue about least

Nobody eats alone

If you are Vincentian and you are in the DMV, you have a seat. Membership is a formality; belonging is the point.

Culture is not nostalgia

Nine Mornings, Vincy Mas, the anthem, the food — we keep them because our children need them, not because we miss them.

Open books, open room

Volunteer-run and answerable to members. Numbers get read out loud at the general meeting.

Home is a two-way street

What we build here should be felt back there. Barrels, relief, investment, visits — the line runs both directions.
