    Ep 187: Montego Bay to New York A Story of Adaptation & Success ft Kerry Ann Reid Brown

    Today we're diving into a special re-released conversation with Kerry Ann Reid Brown, originally aired on April 8, 2023. Kerry Ann is an inspiring entrepreneur and the founder of Breadfruit Media, which includes popular podcasts like "Bridge to You," "Carry On Friends," and "Strictly Facts." In this episode, Kerry Ann takes us on a journey through her rich Caribbean heritage, the origin and significance of her name, and her upbringing in Montego Bay, Jamaica. We explore how her family's matriarchal culture shaped her experiences and delve into the socio-economic dynamics of her childhood, reflecting on the strong community ties that made tough times more bearable. Kerry Ann also shares the challenges and adjustments she faced after immigrating to New York in 1993, including acclimating to cold weather and cultural differences. We discuss her career path, from aspiring lawyer to podcast producer, and how burnout led her to re-evaluate her priorities and take important steps to focus on her well-being and creativity. Throughout our conversation, we reminisce about iconic Jamaican festivals like Reggae Sunsplash and Sumfest, and Kerry Ann gives us a taste of her favorite cultural treats. We also touch on the broader challenges within the podcasting industry and the importance of audience connection over mere monetization strategies. So, tune in for an episode filled with heartfelt stories, valuable insights, and a celebration of Caribbean culture that highlights the importance of community, resilience, and creative expression.
