However, if you Google &#8220;Guadeloupe flag&#8221; you&#8217;ll find the 3 images below. According the Ma\u00eblla, the first flag is the new flag that Guadeloupeans are identifying with as part of their fight to be independent or recognized. It is designed by Misi\u00e9 Sadik.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ma\u00eblla informed me that the 2 variations of flags at the bottom where the flags flown on Slave ships. Unfortunately, the blue version of the flag is what&#8217;s available as a flag emoji. As a result, as a Guadeloupean, Ma\u00eblla finds it hard &#8220;to drop her flag&#8221; when there&#8217;s a Caribbean social media roll call.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-26895\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carryonfriends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Guadeloupe-Flag-independence-flag-and-slave-ship-flags-on-Carry-On-Friends-the-Caribbean-American-podcast-exploring-identity-culture-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carryonfriends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Guadeloupe-Flag-independence-flag-and-slave-ship-flags-on-Carry-On-Friends-the-Caribbean-American-podcast-exploring-identity-culture-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/carryonfriends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Guadeloupe-Flag-independence-flag-and-slave-ship-flags-on-Carry-On-Friends-the-Caribbean-American-podcast-exploring-identity-culture-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/carryonfriends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Guadeloupe-Flag-independence-flag-and-slave-ship-flags-on-Carry-On-Friends-the-Caribbean-American-podcast-exploring-identity-culture-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/carryonfriends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Guadeloupe-Flag-independence-flag-and-slave-ship-flags-on-Carry-On-Friends-the-Caribbean-American-podcast-exploring-identity-culture.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let us know what you think about the episode!<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/><strong>Connect with Ma\u00eblla\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.karukerament.com\/\">Website<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/karukerament\/\" class=\"broken_link\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/karukerament\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Connect with @carryonfriends &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong><a><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><a><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><a><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Enjoyed the show?
