St. John stands at a crossroad.

​

For more than a century, decisions about land, economy, and growth have been shaped by forces external to the island—extractive tourism, absentee ownership, and colonial frameworks that prioritize consumption over community. The result is a landscape that appears prosperous on the surface, yet increasingly alien to the people whose culture, labor, and ancestry have shaped it for generations.

​

Sunlit St. John is, at this point, a conversation about the future of the island, led by St. Johnians urgently opposed to visionless development and cultural erasure.
