Santa Cruz del Islote in Colombia has got to be one of the most challenging and crowded islands to live on the face of this Earth.

I was born on an island known as the Pearl of The Antilles because Christopher Columbus claimed Cuba for Spain in 1492 when it was the realm of the Arawakan-speaking Taino people who had displaced even earlier inhabitants. It became the Spanish empire's most important source of raw sugar in the 18th century and later earned the name 'Pearl of the Antilles.'

It's an instinctive rebuttal to any support being sent to my community as if the shooter also being Asian makes it any less devastating.

Do you know which are the top ten most populated cities in the whole wide world and in order of overpopulation on earth?

Reportedly, the world hit the eight billion population mark. Based on extensive research, it has been concluded that more than half of the world’s population lives in cities across the globe.

No one is immune to loneliness and especially in times as stressful as these but we have the power to change our situations.
