Affiliate Disclosure

Wed, 27 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What we earn from

Some links on Tradewinds Brief are affiliate links. When you click through and complete a transaction with the linked provider, we may earn a commission. The price you pay does not change.

We currently maintain affiliate relationships with money-transfer providers (notably Wise, via Partnerize), and we may add additional providers in travel, financial services, and education over time. Each relationship will be disclosed here.

How we choose providers

The order in which we list providers, and the providers we choose to cover, are based on diaspora utility, transparency of pricing, and consistency of service — not on commission rates. A provider that pays us nothing can still rank above a provider that pays us well; this happens routinely on our remittance comparison pages.

Your guide to Tradewinds Brief

Abigail Singh is the on-screen voice of Tradewinds Brief. She presents the Daily Three-Minute Brief Monday through Saturday and the Sunday Africa Diaspora Brief on Sundays. Her job is to walk the reader through the day’s most consequential cross-border story and what it means for diaspora households.

How the brief works

The video brief is a three-minute synthesis of what’s worth knowing today. It runs on the homepage as the sixth pillar of The Five Decisions tile grid. Open the dialog, watch, close. No autoplay on cold loads.

We read every submission

Tradewinds Brief accepts submitted reporting, photography, illustration, and personal essays from contributors across the Caribbean, Africa, and the diaspora. We read every submission. We respond to every contributor.

What we are looking for

Reporting from the ground — on-the-ground accounts of stories underreported in the regional and international press
Diaspora essays — first-person reflections that illuminate the experience of carrying two countries
Photography — documentary work from the islands and the continent, particularly from photographers based there
Illustration and cartoons — for the Backpage
Sunday-length analysis — 1,500–3,000 words on a topic with real implications for the diaspora

What we are not looking for

Press releases reframed as reporting
Generic listicles
Travel content that reads as marketing
Pieces that name individuals not already in the public press of multiple national outlets
