Send us a textIn this episode, I'm taking a moment to reflect on the powerful conversations had on the podcast so far this year—with the team behind Sugar Dumplin', Natalie Bennett, Diana McCaulay, and Malene Barnett. What started as individual interviews became something more—more clear and focused themes around cultural preservation, identity navigation, and evolving expressions of Caribbean-ness.I explore how these episodes other others from the podcast's catalog, show how storytelling, art, legacy, and even everyday conversations with our elders become vital acts of preservation. I also reflect on how my own relationship with Jamaican culture has evolved over the years, especially as a parent, and how we make room for both tradition and change.This episode is a love letter to 10 years of Carry On Friends, but more importantly, it's an invitation to explore where we're headed next—togetherSubscribe to the Newsletter Support How to Support Carry On Friends Join the Community:Sign up for one of our paid memberships to access "The After Show", early episode releases, exclusive content and connect with like-minded individuals.

They dive into what inspired them to consider dual citizenship. Ashley explains that while she didn't need validation from getting her Jamaican citizenship, it is an opportunity that exists and she chose to take advantage of it. She also encourages others to explore this option.We also touch on dual citizenship for children. Keisha, who has applied for Jamaican citizenship for both her daughter and herself, shares that Jamaica feels like a second home and she wants her daughter to feel the same way through having official Jamaican citizenship.Additionally, they speak about the application process for Jamaican citizenship. Due to COVID, the process has been delayed so those considering this option should manage expectations, and ensure that they have all the details and documents they need to avoid delays. The process is relatively simple and Ashley's platform provides resources to help guide those interested in dual citizenship. While this conversation mainly focused on Jamaican citizenship, it can and should be extended to all other Caribbean countries. It's a privilege to have dual citizenship and we should take advantage of it.Mentioned in this episode:American Born, Caribbean RaisedReimagining the American DreamWatch Ashley's video on Dual CitizenshipConnect with Ashley:  Instagram | Twitter | Website Connect with Keisha: Instagram | WebsiteConnect with Strictly Facts -  Instagram | Facebook | TwitterLooking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

In the bonus episode, of Carry On Friends we're doing an episode swap with Bridge to U featuring the episode "Healing is Not a Luxury". Bridge to U is a Breadfruit Media Produced Podcast hosted by Monique Russell. This episode features Barbadian Dr. Charmain Jackman who discusses the idea that healing is not a luxury. Dr. Jackman is an award winning psychologist who has trained at two of the top Harvard Medical School training hospitals in the US. She has over 2 decades of mental health experience and focuses on normalizing mental health and therapy for people of color.  Her mission is to increase access to mental health resources for people who have historically not had access to quality, culturally-informed care.She discusses the need for us to recreate the narrative around who has access to therapy. Traditionally, there have been barriers to people of color seeking mental health help. Some of these challenges include people of color's distrust of medical professionals, as well as, the challenges in finding healthcare professionals who understand our cultural background.We also learn that therapy wasn't designed with black persons in mind. In formal psychology education today, there is a lack of focus on the perspectives of black persons. Such training largely does not consider people of color, nor the diversity and equity issues we face. Monique and Dr. Jackman explore the ideas of reclaiming our history and embracing cultural practices as part of our identity. By doing so we can feel empowered in the face of colonialism and white supremacy that has trained us to believe that there's something wrong with the way we as blacks communicate and respond to racism. Embracing our heritage also helps us to heal.Dr. Jackman highlights that healing is important for ourselves, our communities and generations to come.Connect with Dr. Charmain Jackman: LinkedIn | Facebook | Website | InstagramConnect with Monique Russell: LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | YoutubeConnect with @carryonfriends - Twitter | Instagram | FacebookSupport the show

Conversations on being Black in America often center the experiences of African Americans, who descended from enslaved Africans brought to the US. Rarely are the experiences and perspectives of black immigrants and Caribbean Americans reflected in discussions about race and blackness in America. For today’s episode, we explore the diversity in the diaspora by welcoming Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown, host of the Carry On Friends podcast, which aims to elevate the voices of Caribbean Americans. During our conversation, we discuss the history and beauty of the Caribbean (31:00), what it means to be Black, Jamaican, and Caribbean American (39:40), and intra-group differences between Caribbean Americans (45:30). We also discuss Caribbean contributions to Black American culture (48:27), barriers to building community between African Americans and Caribbean Americans (56:07), and cultural transmission across generations (1:02:06). We close by discussing the impact of the current political climate on the experiences of Caribbean immigrants (1:07:25) and Kamala Harris’ Caribbean identity and heritage (1:19:20).  Other Topics Include:  00:30 - Catch Up with Ty and Daphne  04:25 - BhD “Oh Lawd” News  21:04 - Introduction of the Topic 24:00 - Learn More about Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown  27:45 - Learn More about Breadfruit Media  1:30:42  - Ty and Daphne Reflect on the Interview  Resources:  Carry On Friends Podcast: https://www.carryonfriends.com/ Breadfruit Media Website: https://www.breadfruitmedia.com/ Twitter: @CarryOnFriends Ivy’s Tea Co: https://ivystea.com/ (BhD Discount Code: BhDPod) Actress Felicity Huffman Sentenced To 14 Days In College Admissions Scandal: https://www.npr.org/2019/09/13/759256335/actress-felicity-huffman-sentenced-to-14-days-in-college-admissions-scandal Biden Was Asked About Segregation.
