Question, why is Fiona so in love with the French Speaking Caribbean islands? Is Sherween back in mommy mode?

This week Chantal, Sherween, and Fiona share their wish lists of ‘things they wish they knew before moving home to the Caribbean’. They discuss the challenges of reconnecting with friends, the bureaucracy, and cultural differences, such as homophobia and misogyny. Despite these challenges, our ladies find joy in their reconnection to the Caribbean - its beauty and community. Fiona is currently in Guadeloupe, enjoying the cultural immersion and local cuisine, Sherween is in St Lucia basking in the glow of having both her daughters visit back to back and Chantal is about to wrap up her first Artist Development programme in Nevis.

Episode 22 – The Forgotten Episode

This week, we’re sharing a special episode that was recorded back in June—so some of the topics might feel a bit outdated!

In this Lost (and now found) episode, we dive into the issue of environmental irresponsibility and littering in Saint Lucia, stressing the importance of both personal and community responsibility in protecting the island’s natural beauty. We also open up about our own battles with procrastination and balancing work and life, while reflecting on how we celebrate Caribbean culture and heritage. This conversation reminds us of the need for action on environmental issues, the importance of self-care, and the courage it takes to truly embrace our cultural identity.
