Who would've thought we'd be raising children outside of the Caribbean?

Today’s episode felt like a stroll down the famous, some may say infamous, Frederick Street, Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. It had been a while since I last chatted amongst a group of Trinbagonians, even if it was virtually, the banter was so invigorating that the energy was palpable, listen and tell me if you felt it too. This fireside, sometimes bonfire, chat was centered around the fact that we are all raising a child (or children) outside of the Caribbean, and in many ways, I don’t think any of us thought this would be our reality. Today is Part 1 of a 2-part episode exploring the complexities of emigration, cultural preservation and assimilation all while traversing the journey that is motherhood. Naette, Daniella and Kiola are transparent about their experiences and offer unique opinions on how they’re managing the delicate issues associated with some of the most challenging life transitions any person can face.

This one is for you my fellow Diasporan parent!
