Conversations with Aunt Sylvia

Cc

Conversations with Aunt Sylvia is a podcast featuring calls with my Aunt Sylvia. Since I was raised primarily in the U.S., I am woefully ignorant about my heritage and culture. Through these conversations, I hope to learn more about my culture, connect with my past and connect with the undeniable truths of my "Jamaicaness". I hope to bring listeners along with me on this journey through time as Aunt Sylvia, the family griot tells her truths.
