Join hosts Anastarcia Palacious and Renaldo Dorsett as they sit down with the people who shape Baha Mar: the chefs, the artists, the visionaries, and the guests to uncover the moments, the culture, and the quiet details that turn a destination into something unforgettable.
Because the real story of Baha Mar isn't in the brochure. It's in the people who live it!
Destinee: Having, like, young Bahamian girls, young black women, having someone to look up to, and like, you see yourself in that person, like, you can, you know, watch games and you can dream big and know that, like, that can be you someday.
Renaldo: Welcome to Beyond the Stay here at Baha Mar Studios, the podcast where we tell you about the people, the stories, and everything that goes on behind the scenes to make Baha Mar such a great destination, and the stories that extend well Beyond the Stay. I’m your host Renaldo Dorsett, and in studio today, we are joined by a celebrity on and off the court, Destinee Walker. Destinee, nice to have you on the pod.
Destinee: Thank you so much for having me.
Renaldo: Now, here at Baha Mar, the first question we always ask guests—and I know this may be a business trip for you, you’re here to enjoy at the same time too, though—what’s your favorite part about being here at Baha Mar?
Destinee: My favorite part is being able to be here and be able to relax. As a professional athlete, I feel like my mind and my body is just, like, always on go, so having this opportunity to come here, slow down, still get some workouts in, but be able to just relax by the beach and the pool and clear my mind for the next journey ahead is my favorite part.
Renaldo: Now, what’s that perfect day of downtime looking like? I know there are so many options to choose from the time that we wake up. Run me through that day. What’s that going to look like?
Destinee: Okay, so the room that I’m in has an ocean view, so this morning, actually, I opened up, I went—I actually woke up at, like, 7:30 this morning, went out on the dock, sat down. I was on the phone looking over at the ocean view. So, I probably start off with that. Then I get, like, a nice little workout in. I’m a big coffee matcha drinker, so I have to start my day with that. Probably go down to Café Madeleine and get a coffee, iced vanilla latte. Probably switch into my swimsuit and then go on the beach, relax a little bit, grab some lunch. Maybe go by the pool again, or—
Renaldo: [laugh].
Destinee: Go to—
Renaldo: You can’t ever do it enough times.
Destinee: You can’t. Or maybe go down to the water park. Yeah, maybe just relax the rest of the day. They have casinos. Y’all have different restaurants. Just walk around the property and really just take it all in. Relax.
Renaldo: Like you said, you’re a professional athlete, a professional hooper. Tell us how important it is for you to have this relaxation in the downtime because the season is a grind, everything from preparing your body, from being ready to play, even to recovery. How important is it to kick back and be able to do that in a place like this?
Destinee: It’s very important. And especially playing at such a high level, sometimes I feel like for me, I have to remind myself to do those things. So, having this opportunity to come here and relax is great because I feel like you’re always looking for the next opportunity. And it’s like you always have to be working, you always have to be ready and stay on top of your game, like weights, running, you know, you always want to stay in shape and you always want to just be ready to—you know?—for the next thing. So, it’s just, like, being able to come here and clear my mind and everything has been great.
Renaldo: But this is also a place where you can clear your mind and still do all of that [laugh].
Destinee: And still do all of that. I mean, but also there’s a spa and everything, and then there’s also—you know, y’all have, like, a weight room and everything, so I can still get my workouts in, and then I can, you know, I can do a little bit of both.
Renaldo: There’s something else that you can do here that I know you’re a pro hooper, but also a pro content creator as well, so Baha Mar offers so many different avenues for that. What’s the content creation that you’re thinking about doing while you’re here?
Destinee: Mmm, a little bit of everything. Y’all might have to tune into my socials to see exactly what I’m doing, but a little bit of everything. I’m thinking about showcasing the water park, and I’m thinking about showcasing the beach and everything. Maybe doing an excursion like jet skis or something fun like that, and just really just showing the property and everything it has to offer, honestly.
Renaldo: And I know you do custom courts, custom basketball courts.
Destinee: I do. I do.
Renaldo: That’s something you do. It’s a passion of yours.
Destinee: It is a passion of mine.
Renaldo: And so here, they have courts that they set up in the convention center for Baha Mar hoops. If you had to envision a design for a court here at Baha Mar, what would that look like?
Destinee: That’s a great question. For me, it would get very much tropical. I actually designed a court back in Florida that was tropical and, like, Bahamas themed. It would definitely have some type of, you know, like, trees on the court. It’d definitely have, like, the water line, maybe, like, a shore and, like, sand. It’d be a very beachy look on the floor, for sure. Yeah.
Renaldo: Yeah, I feel like that’s something that we should see more of. Like—
Destinee: Exactly.
Renaldo: I don’t think a lot of people know about the custom courts, but those are pretty cool. How’d you get into that?
Destinee: And it really is. They’re actually a German company, and it’s the only court that’s available in the states right now, and it’s in Orlando, Florida. And basically, if I can, kind of, talk about it, there’s different courts that you, kind of like, design them on an iPad. And I can put, like, the schools that I went to, like, I went to UNC and Notre Dame, I played at those two schools, and I can, like, drag their logos on the court and design that. I can put different, like, Nike, Adidas on there. You can design different backgrounds if you have, like, different grains of wood you want to put on there.
It can still look, like, a traditional court, but it’s like it’s LED, so it’s like you can change it. And at the push of a button, it literally just changes. So there’s, like, maybe 100 designs on there right now. And so, a lot of NBA guys actually go in there. I actually saw VJ in there, like, a couple weeks ago.
But a lot of them go in there, get their workouts in, and as soon as they come in, it’s good for them to be able to—they can even have their faces on the court. Like, I have a court with, like, my face and my stats are on there. Like, there’s pictures of me literally on there while I’m working out. So, to be able to come in there and customize exactly what I want, so the aesthetics and the workouts match, it’s like, even match my outfit sometimes to the court, just for fun. I’m like, I have on blue today. Let’s do a blue court. Or like, I have on pink—I have pink nails. Let me match with, like, a pink court.
Renaldo: All right, so we’re going to have to talk to the higher ups at Baha Mar. When they watch this episode, I feel like this is something that we could bring here. Like, that’s something that we should have.
Destinee: Yeah. Yeah, what? Oh, my gosh, they would love that. Yes. I could connect y’all on everything. But yeah, they would love that. And especially with the tournaments, Baja Mar tournament, and then also the tournaments that they always have out here, I feel like being able to customize the floor is, like—with the teams that are here? Like, say if, like… I’m biased, but Notre Dame or UNC came to play, then you can have both of those logos on the court at the same time with the beachy look as well. So, it’s just, like, being able to swap those at, like, the press of a finger, it’s a game changer, honestly.
Renaldo: It is, it is, because whenever the teams travel here, they do have their Bahama-specific logos.
Destinee: Exactly. Exactly.
Renaldo: So, that would be something to look into.
Destinee: So, having that incorporated, I like that. We should do that.
Renaldo: Look at us—
Destinee: We should do that. Let’s do that.
Renaldo: Making moves for the company already.
Destinee: Exactly. We should.
Renaldo: All right, so, for people that may not know, you do have connections to the Bahamas.
Destinee: I do. Yeah.
Renaldo: Tell us a little about that.
Destinee: My family’s from here. My mom was born in the Bahamas, and I pretty much grew up here. I always back and forth between Florida and the Bahamas, and yeah, it’s just big part of my life and who I am.
Renaldo: You got a favorite Bahamian dish that you got to have any time you come back?
Destinee: I don’t know if this sounds touristy, but I love crack conch. So, crack conch, peas and rice and macaroni, every time.
Renaldo: First of all, there’s no wrong answer.
Destinee: Okay, okay [laugh].
Renaldo: You could have went with any one of those. You could have went with all three.
Destinee: It’s like, the crack conch, I just… it’s the plate. Maybe some coleslaw too. This is the only place I actually eat coleslaw. Like, in the states, I don’t really like coleslaw.
Renaldo: It’s not the same thing.
Destinee: It’s not the same.
Renaldo: See, that’s all you got to do right there, and that’s your Bahamian bona fides. You don’t have to say anything else.
Destinee: Yeah.
Renaldo: Just lay out that plate—
Destinee: That plate right there, and I said, just bring that plate in front of me. I can go get it at a restaurant. My aunt can cook it. I’m just like, that little mixture right there, that’s a bit of me.
Renaldo: And you were not the only hooper in the family. Mom’s got some hoop ties.
Destinee: I’m not. Yeah, my mom did play.
Renaldo: Tell us about that.
Destinee: Yeah, my mom played at Delta State college basketball in Mississippi, and then she also played for the Bahamas national team. So, my mom’s a hooper, yeah. Both my mom and dad played, but my mom’s a… yeah. A lot of people here know her.
Renaldo: How early did the basketball get put into your hands?
Destinee: Oh, Lord. How early? I was, like, five years old, literally. My mom and dad both played, so it was just, like, it was destined for me. Five years old, I started playing. So, it’s been a long journey.
Renaldo: Do you remember that moment where it became more than just something fun that I like doing and transitioning into, okay, I can do this at a high level.
Destinee: Yeah. So, since my mom and dad played, I feel like it always was, like, something that I wanted to do, like, for my job at some point. But when it really got serious for me is when I saw, like, all of the opportunities that I could get out of it. I got my first college offer, and like, I believe I was in, like, seventh grade, they called me and was, like, very interested in me coming to their school.
Coaches would come to games. There would be, like, 50 to 100 coaches watching games, calling you after games. They’re offering you these scholarships; you can go to school for free, get your degree for free, everything paid for, housing, everything, and get a great degree from these schools, but also play the game that I love. It was like, it was a no-brainer. So, I’m like, I can do this game, like, play this game that I love, and also get opportunities from it. I’m like, let me lock in.
Renaldo: Did you have a favorite moment during your college career? One that stood out to you, that either, you know, something like I belong here, I could compete at this level, or I’m ready to move on?
Destinee: During my high school career, definitely. Like there were a lot of tournaments. I played high school basketball, but I also played AAU basketball, and there were a lot of tournaments where, like, okay, so I was ranked second in my class at my position. So, shooting guard two position, I was second, and then I was top 20, like, in the country of girls. So like, just the competition that I was playing against at these tournaments, you would really go up head to head with these other girls that were top 15 like me, and compete, and all these coaches will literally surround you.
Like, Geno Auriemma was there, and like, all of these other—Muffet McGraw. And it’s just, like, playing a game you love. You’re competing against these girls, and then you also have, like, opportunities to go to schools because all these schools are watching you. So, it was an intense moment, but it was also just, like—
Renaldo: Well, what tipped the scales in one school’s favor to make you make that decision—
Destinee: You know what—
Renaldo: —as high school was ending?
Destinee: A lot of people say that you have this feeling when you go to a school, and I kid you not, I felt like—when they said that, it was like cliche. It’s just, like, okay, yeah, sure, you know what I mean? But I genuinely, like, had the feeling. Like, when I was on my visit. So, you can take five official visits to schools. So, I narrowed down, I literally had offers from, like, all over the country. Maybe just a handful of schools—
Renaldo: Talk to them, remind them. Remind them that the game is legit [laugh].
Destinee: The letters were coming in at, like, sixth grade, first offer, seventh grade, and then, like, from there, like, they were just flowing in. And it was overwhelming, but it was also very, like, rewarding as well because I was getting back, you know, like, what I put into the game. Having conversations with the coaches and stuff, you can, kind of, bounce off of each other and see, you know, have a feel for the coach, like, would I vibe with them. Also, like, playing styles too, like, where would I fit in as a player? Like, you really have to think about those things.
Degrees. Like, I went to a really good high school, so, like, I’ve always cared about basketball, but also, like, I want to be able to study what I want to study. I want to get a good degree as well, so you can use that to narrow it down. I mean, people look at a little bit of everything. Like location.
Renaldo: Absolutely.
SPEAKER3: Some people want to stay in—I knew I—well, I didn’t know I wanted to stay out of Florida, but I was okay with going far away from, like, where I lived. You know, I having, like, family travel to come see me play, so there are a lot of factors that ties in. But yeah, when I went to UNC and I saw the UNC blue, and I met with my coaches, and then I saw, like, also where you would fit in with the team, so I visited with two other players and, like, I meshed with them, you know? Like, they take you around campus, they take you out, you know, you go eat with them. You’re really, like, a student for the day, and so you get to see how you really would fit in with everybody.
And the two girls committed on the visit at UNC. They were like, “We want to stay here,” so they signed their papers there. And I had that same feeling, but I was like, let me take my other vi—my mom was like, “Slow down, take your other visits. Let’s, like, think about this.” And then I ended up choosing them anyway. But there’s just so many factors that goes into it.
Renaldo: You mentioned playing style and how you would fit in. For people that haven’t seen you play or may not know your game, what’s the best way you would describe it? Is there a specific player [comp 00:12:36]?
Destinee: Umm, yeah. I’m a two guard, so I would say initially I’m a shooting guard, but as I’ve gotten to my pro career, I’ve learned how to, you know, be a little bit more physical, get to the basket, so I feel like I’m more of, like, a combination guard now. I can play, like, the one through the three. But primarily coming out of high school, I was like really, like, a shooting guard. Like, I would light them up. I was shooting from, like, half court [laugh]. But yeah.
Renaldo: So, while you were in school, were the pro aspirations always there? Did you know, okay, this—
Destinee: Definitely.
Renaldo: Is the route that I’m going to take?
Destinee: Yeah, definitely. I feel like ever since I was young, I knew that I wanted to play professional basketball. And like, my mom played professional basketball, so I was like, I knew that was a goal for me for sure. I did take it, like, one step at a time. When I was in high school, I had goals of, like, I was a McDonald’s All American, and I was a Jordan Brand Classic All American. So like, each part of my life, I had goals that I wanted to reach, and then when I got to the next part, it’s okay. I want to play pro. And I got to next. So, it’s just, like, taking it one step at a time.
Renaldo: What’s the difference in the pro game?
Destinee: You know what? It’s a lot more physical, yeah, and faster, and it’s a lot more independent. I feel like I had to get used to that. Like at first, like, in college, there’s a lot of stuff there for you already, like, the busses, the schedules, the eating, the everything is, kind of like, grooved—
Renaldo: Everything is laid out for you.
Destinee: —as a team. It’s laid out, they have everything. Be here at this time. If you’re not here at five a.m. this and that. It’s, like, very, very structured. And pro basketball is structured, but a lot of it outside of the court is, like, it’s up to you how you take care of your body. It’s up to you, like, the recovery you do. It’s up to you what you eat. Like they just pay you, and it’s like, it’s up to you to replenish your bodies and stay on top of that. But in college, it’s like here’s the spinach, here are these carrots, here are these vitamins that you need to take for the day, and they’re on you. Like, yeah, so—
Renaldo: Exact calorie count, exact protein intake?
Destinee: All of that, yeah. Like, everything. Like, this weight, this thing. So, it’s like, it’s more strict in college, and then in pro, it’s like it’s up to you to take everything you learned in college and stick with it.
Renaldo: What about the culture shock of living someplace else? Because yeah, it’s different on the court, but off the court, yeah.
Destinee: Off the court, you’re right, yeah. Yeah, having to adjust is something definitely that you have to take into consideration. But you have a lot of, like, choice with that too. I mean, granted, you don’t really know where you’re going when you sign. Because it’s not like you—like, with college, you can, like, engulf yourself on the campus and, like, kind of see, like, how you fit in, but, like, overseas or, like, wherever you go to play, like, that’s not in the states, you can’t just pop over to Turkey and be, like, let’s see how-you know, and then be, like, “Okay, I’ll sign here.”
So, it’s like you really have to, like, ask all the questions. Maybe even find a player that you know that played there and be, like, “How did you”—you know, I called Jonquel. Like, how was, you know, how was this country, or how—so just finding different ways to, kind of, see how you would fit into the team, and yeah, just go over there, and they sign you to, you know, do what you got to do. So, go over there and perform, and have fun. So.
Renaldo: You mentioned JJ. She is the standard bearer of Bahamian basketball and women’s basketball specifically.
Destinee: Yeah. I love Jonquel.
Renaldo: Do you get a sense of pride watching her do that?
Destinee: Do I? Yes, and she’s killing it, too. She was WNBA MVP and everything. I’m like, me and my mom are always tuned into all of her games. Like, we support her all the way. And actually, my mom used to have a women’s basketball camp called Back to Basics in Freeport, Bahamas. She did it for, like, 15 years, and like, all the girls used to come to the camp. They were so excited for it. It’s like a lot of girls now that some still play, some don’t, but she was giving back to Freeport.
And for a couple years she had a camp, and I was basically raised at the camp. I couldn’t wait to come home every summer to go to it, and like, Jonquel based—she was there all the time. Like it was both of us at the camp. And I used to be in, like, the little baby group looking up to her, like, you know, doing the drills, and like, she already had all the drills down and the skills down, and it’s like I used to be—I started on the stage, and then I, you know, worked my way up to playing, like, with the older girls.
And they were so tough. I’m like, I always tell people I’d come here and, like, we’d play at the Y or we’d be at St. George’s, and, like, in the states, you know, I want a water break or I want to, like, take us. Over here, Jonquel were like, “Oh no, none of that.” Like, “Next game.” So, it’s like, they really taught me to just, you know, be tougher, and yeah, just like, work harder. It’s just different. It’s different out here.
Renaldo: Bahamian basketball is different.
Destinee: It’s different.
Renaldo: It’s tough to explain to people—
Destinee: It’s tough until you’re, like, in it.
Renaldo: —but you got to be a part of it.
Destinee: Exactly. And it’s like, it really made me a better player, a better person. But yeah, I just remember, like, Jonquel and them, like, “No. Like, water? What? Next—like, let’s finish these five games, and then you can, like, recover.” But yeah.
Renaldo: Seeing her do what she’s doing now with the Liberty, winning championships, like, you mentioned, her resume, she probably has the greatest resume of any Bahamian basketball player ever.
Destinee: Yeah. She’s killing it.
Renaldo: That sense of pride that you have, how important is it for her to be representation for other young girls that want to play? Because the boys have so many figures that they can look up to.
Destinee: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Renaldo: They have VJ, they have Buddy Hield, they have Deandre and guys like that. The girls don’t have as much. So, how important is it for people like JJ?
Destinee: Yeah, it’s very important. And having, like, young Bahamian girls, young black women, having someone to look up to, and like, you see yourself in that person, like, you can, you know, watch games and you can dream big and know that, like, that can be you someday. So, it’s really good what she’s doing, I think.
Renaldo: And you are here to watch the FIBA World Cup qualifying games, so there’s some big games on tap. How tapped in have you been with Bahamian basketball to see what’s been going on at the national team level?
Destinee: Oh, I’ve been tapped in. I watch all the tournaments. I’m like, I’m dialed in. I’m like, they have a great squad. I know a lot of the guys, Buddy, Franco, VJ. I’m like I’m locked in on a whole different level. Like, I just, I want them to win. I want them to do big things, and like, I really think this is a year for them to do that.
Like, they have a really, really good squad. So, I’m going to be sat… at the game tonight and sat at the game on—when is it?—Monday or Tuesday?
Renaldo: Yeah. Monday.
Destinee: But yeah, I’m just going to be sat at both of them and just cheering them on. But yeah, I know they’re going to do big things, and yeah, I’m excited. I’m excited to watch them play.
Renaldo: And the men, obviously, that program has been building, and you mentioned the work that your mom did in helping to build the women’s program as well. What do you think has to be done there for them to get to that level? Because so many people—
Destinee: For—
Renaldo: For the women’s program to reach, at that point?
Destinee: Oh, for the women’s program? That’s a great question. Just keep building. I feel like there’s a lot of people like—I—Jonquel does a lot for the women’s team, and I think there’s a lot of girls that want to put on that jersey and represent their country and just go out there and play with pride and, you know, win some tournaments, and let’s do it. And [Yo 00:19:23] has done a lot, too, you know, to put into the women’s basketball team too. And she believes in them. So, just keep on working. I—really, that’s all you can do is just keep working.
Renaldo: That’s a huge step to have a coach like Coach Yo who leads a D1 program to be the head coach of the women’s program here.
Destinee: Yeah, she’s great. And I’ve known Yo since I was a little girl, too, so seeing what she’s done for the women’s basketball community, not only in the Bahamas, but she’s doing that at Ole Miss. I’m like… Ole Miss, like, when I was getting recruited, I was like, you know, it’s a little it was a little iffy. And I was bor—I was—you know, grew up in Mississippi. So, my mom played basketball in Mississippi, so I was really familiar with Ole Miss. So, to see how she’s like turned the program around and it’s like—
Renaldo: She made it cool.
Destinee: Yeah.
Renaldo: She made it cool. You can say that.
Destinee: I’m like, yeah, I’m excited to see what she does for the women’s program, too. Yeah, I believe in her as a coach, and yeah, she doesn’t play. So, I know she—
Renaldo: That Bahamian basketball that you were talking about.
Destinee: Exactly, [laugh]. Exactly. That’s—
Renaldo: She took that to Mississippi.
Destinee: Exactly. She has that embedded in her, so I’m excited to see what she continues to do for Ole Miss and also for Bahamian women’s basketball, the national team. So.
Renaldo: Let’s get back to on property here at Baha Mar and some of the stuff that we can get to. So, let’s say the games are done. You have even more downtime. What’s the first thing that you want to do? Something that you may have seen, you haven’t tried yet, that you want to get into? Got anything like that?
Destinee: On the property?
Renaldo: Yeah.
Destinee: Oh, let’s see. I know I want to try the East Spa. So, I’ve stayed here a couple other times before. I didn’t know there was a spa, so I’m really looking into getting into that and seeing, like, what they have to offer in the spa for sure.
Renaldo: Good choice. Good choice. So, in terms of the restaurants because you have—the cuisine here is amazing.
Destinee: Mm-hm.
Renaldo: There’s so many different choices, whether you want Italian, whether you want Japanese, you can get—
Destinee: There are a lot of choices.
Renaldo: The Bahamian or anything, even a type of food or a favorite rest—even if you don’t have a favorite restaurant, which is the type of food that you want to target?
Destinee: Ooh, I’m an Italian girly. I love Italian food, so a good pasta. Or I actually had some pizza last night, but like, a great pasta would really hit the spot right now. And then also, I’m here with my sister and my friends, so they also wanted to try Sugar Factory. We saw that they have, like, really cool drinks and everything, so we might give that a try. But any recs?
Renaldo: That is the content creator spot to go to, once you go to Sugar Factory because you got the drinks and you got the dry ice—
Destinee: Exactly, the foam coming up and the—
Renaldo: And everything. Yeah, yeah.
Destinee: Yeah. I’m like, let me get that on camera. But yeah.
Renaldo: That was going to be my go-to. I was like, you could make some good content there. But literally you can walk around to just about any place—
Destinee: Exactly, exactly.
Renaldo: You can stop and you can find it. Like—
Destinee: Yeah, it’s so huge. That’s basically what we did last night. We just walked around and saw what we wanted to eat.
Renaldo: So, quick fire questions now: beach or a pool girl?
Destinee: Beach.
Renaldo: Beach. What makes the beach better?
Destinee: Ooh, you got me there. It’s just more relaxing to me, I feel like. I feel like if I had to pick one of the two, I feel like pools are everywhere, but it’s like you can’t be on the beach in the Bahamas that often, so beach, for sure.
Renaldo: Have you hit up Baja Bay yet? Hit the water slides, do any of the things at the water park?
Destinee: I have not, but I have that scheduled to do. I will be doing that. I have before, but I haven’t on my stay right now. Yeah.
Renaldo: You got to do it. You got to do it again because—
Destinee: Exactly.
Renaldo: —you can’t do it enough times.
Destinee: The river, too? Yeah.
Renaldo: You’re a water slide girl?
Destinee: I am not a water slide girl, but today I will be a water s—I might do a mini water slide, not the high ones. Might have lost me.
Renaldo: So, we’ll include those into the perfect day that you want to get into, then.
Destinee: What, the water slides?
Renaldo: Yeah, we—
Destinee: The mini ones?
Renaldo: Yeah, we got to work that in there.
Destinee: The small ones.
Renaldo: We’ll work that in there. We’ll talk to your sister—
Destinee: Are you—
Renaldo: We’ll talk to your friends.
Destinee: Oh, they’re—oh they can’t wait to go on the water slides.
Renaldo: So, you can’t be the only one not doing it.
Destinee: I’m going to be lame if I don’t.
Renaldo: You will be lame. You cannot be—
