NASSAU, BAHAMAS – 30-year-old Ashleigh Rolle is a writer and creative. You may know her work from the viral Bahamian Citizenship Test. But, we before we dive into that, our Generation Next feature tells me she’s always had a love for writing and storytelling. That passion was propelled when she began serving as an ambassador for various organizations and she began to realize there were so many stories that needed to be told.

That social commentary, along with the nostalgia experienced by Rolle and her growing followers, lead to the creation of the Bahamian Citizenship Test.
