Athletes, Stars, and International Icons

Despite our small population, our country’s achievements in the arts and sports are nothing short of remarkable. From Sidney Poitier, the first Black man to win an Academy Award for Best Actor, to our sporting legends who dominate on basketball courts, track fields, and swimming pools worldwide, The Bahamas has produced an astonishing array of icons. At the BMHNS, we shine a spotlight on the stars who have made us proud and inspired generations of Bahamians with their unmatched skill, determination, and passion. 

Discover the stories of Bahamian legends who have defied the odds to make their mark on the world stage.
