Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on May 25, 1949)

Happy Birthday to the brilliant Jamaica Kincaid—novelist, essayist, gardener extraordinaire! Your words have bloomed brighter than your garden's finest dahlias. From "Lucy" and "Mr. Potter," you've given us unforgettable characters who linger in our minds longer than weeds stubbornly rooted between paving stones.

Your fearless exploration of colonialism and identity continues inspiring readers worldwide; each page you write is a powerful act of literary gardening: pruning injustice while nurturing empathy with wit and wisdom. May this birthday bring joy as abundant as flowers flourishing under your care—and may no aphids dare disturb today's celebration or future successes ahead!
