Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Our history of migration spans across the world. Join us as we journey with Alya Harding, a community organizer and PhD student, who shares her heartfelt exploration of Sierra Leonean Creole/Krio culture and her personal quest to uncover her Trinidadian roots. We examine the historical migrations that have woven a diverse Creole culture, bringing together Africans, African Americans, and Afro-Caribbean individuals in Sierra Leone. Alya's narrative of growing up in post-civil war Sierra Leone, paired with her newfound connections to her Caribbean heritage, paints a vivid picture of identity and belonging within the African diaspora.This episode offers a thoughtful reflection on the complex layers of Creole culture, as seen through the lens of "roots versus routes" by scholar Paul Gilroy. We discuss the spiritual connections that bind African and Caribbean people, bolstered by historical movements such as the Haitian Revolution. The conversation also critically examines the romanticized idea of "returning" to Africa. We challenge the commercialization and exclusivity of this concept, advocating for genuine engagement with local communities and learning from past social movements. Alya enriches the dialogue with her personal anecdotes, and together we explore the enduring quest for freedom within Black communities worldwide. Dive into these narratives and gain access to further resources on the Strictly Facts podcast website, as we continue to explore these essential themes in our ongoing series.Alya Harding, is a community organiser based in East London, concerned with issues of gender-based violence, migration, and agency. Alya's activism and academic pursuits are deeply influenced by her early childhood in post-civil war Sierra Leone, shaped by the resilience of her Krio heritage and the richness of creolised cultures. She is particularly drawn to storytelling as a means to explore the tensions between theory and practice, grounded in a feminist approach that reimagines identity and freedom at the intersections of race, gender, and empire. Alya's PhD research through an intergenerational discourse seeks to explore feminised migratory survival modes through the family pathology of African female headed households across Britain. In particular, examining how these practices affect their children, especially how they have shaped their daughters' views on identity, belonging and healing.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

Apparently the Coat of Arms debate rages on as the Tassa Association wants the real Trini instrument on the emblem instead of the imported steelpan. Brilliant!It's an episode of dualities as we discuss the mourning as the news of the closing of the famed Carrat Shed in Marabella spread against the backdrop of apparent celebration of the woes of Movie Towne.It's a mixed bag when it comes to the reactions to the passing of Lawrence Duprey, once heralded as one of the greatest businessmen in the region. We do a deep dive into his legacy and the unfair tainting of his name and the hostile takeover of his businesses masked as a financial bailout.The music in this episode is a direct response to the divisive statement made by the Tassa Association of Trinidad & Tobago suggesting that Steelpan isn't 100% Trinidadian.Enjoy!!
In this episode, Clare is joined by Levi Emir a marketing professional who hails from Trinidad, where he worked for an American company. He has lived in the UK for 5 years and his wife had permanently relocated there a couple of years earlier. Levi shares his insights into the differences between Trinidadian, American and British cultures. Including work-life balance, racism, job security and making new friends. They also discuss the impact the recent UK demonstrations and riots are having on Levi and his family. Levi´s job means he keeps track of search behaviour, so he also shares his insights into how online behaviour reflects and informs the way society develops and acts. Levi Emir is from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean and now lives in the United Kingdom. He is a creative digital marketing and advertising professional with 15+ years experience with the management of global paid search (PPC) marketing campaigns and stakeholder relationships. Levi has recently made a name for himself in the European marketing industry, achieving Best Integrated Campaign 2023 from both the European Agency Awards and UK Search Awards. He has worked with businesses spanning different industries across the Americas, Caribbean, EMEA, and APAC. He is most in his element when having fun, engaging conversations and enjoying a few rounds of snooker. Links: Website LinkedIn Twitter Instagram Calendly Scheduler KEY TAKEAWAYS Europe has a better work-life balance. People in the UK are generally very friendly and genuinely seem to care. Overall, Levi has had a good experience there. All countries have some xenophobia, and it is expressed differently in each culture. The race and immigration riots in the UK briefly changed the way Levi and his family lived. Levi and his wife feel that keeping an eye on the level of racism is wise. The similarity between the law systems of Trinidad and the UK has helped Levi. Levi´s wife hears more expressions of racism than he does. She is mixed race but looks white, so people say things to her they wouldn´t say around Levi who looks more African. BEST MOMENTS ‘I tried to stay away from going on a train or going anywhere long distance for the period of time that I saw riots taking place.' ‘Food always features as an aspect of moving countries.' ‘In our case, going back to Trinidad, there´s a general expectation that us coming from a first world country, we need to be the ones to pay.'

Thom Francis introduces us to Rico Frederick who was the featured poet at Nitty Gritty Slam #75 on August 5, 2014, at The Low Beat in Albany, NY. --- Nitty Gritty Slam was a joint project between Albany Poets, Urban Guerrilla Theatre, and the Frequency North Reading Series at The College Saint Rose. The poetry slam brought together artists from academia, the local spoken word community, and visiting writers from across the country on 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month. NGS started in 2011 with a goal of sending the first team from Albany to the National Poetry Slam. All together, the Capital Region was represented three times at Nationals. On Tuesday, August 5, 2014, Rico Frederick was the featured poet at Nitty Gritty Slam #75 at The Low Beat in Albany, NY. Rico Frederick is a graphic designer and the author of the book Broken Calypsonian (Penmanship Books, 2014), holds an MFA in Writing from Pratt Institute, a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Finalist, Fulbright semi-finalist, Cave Canem Fellow, Poets House Emerging Poets Fellow, Pushcart nominee, and the first poet to represent all four original New York City poetry venues at the National Poetry Slam. His poems, artistic work, and short film have been featured in the New York Times, Muzzle, Epiphany, No Dear Magazine, The Big Apple Film Festival, an Academy of American Poets Contest - Honorable Mention, Best of the Net Anthology Nominee (poetry) 2017 and elsewhere. Rico is a Trinidadian transplant, lives in New York, loves gummy bears, and scribbles poems on the back of maps in the hope they will take him someplace new.
Ian Harnarine is an award-winning Canadian filmmaker who found inspiration for his debut feature film, “Doubles,” in the delicious Trinidadian snack of the same name. The story follows an estranged father and son who are brought back together by difficult circumstances. Ian joins guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about drawing on his own experiences with his father to make the film, how it challenges clichés about the experience of immigrating to Canada, and what it was like getting Spike Lee's hand-written notes as a film student at NYU.
In Strolling in the Ruins: The Caribbean's Non-Sovereign Modern in the Early Twentieth Century (Duke UP, 2023), Faith Smith engages with a period in the history of the Anglophone Caribbean often overlooked as nondescript, quiet, and embarrassingly pro-imperial within the larger narrative of Jamaican and Trinidadian nationalism. Between the 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion and World War I, British imperialism was taken for granted among both elites and ordinary people, while nationalist discourses would not begin to shape political imagination in the West Indies for decades. Smith argues that this moment, far from being uneventful, disrupts the inevitability of nationhood in the mid-twentieth century and anticipates the Caribbean's present-day relationship to global power. Smith assembles and analyzes a diverse set of texts, from Carnival songs, poems, and novels to newspapers, photographs, and gardens, to examine theoretical and literary-historiographic questions concerning time and temporality, empire and diaspora, immigration and indigeneity, gender and the politics of desire, Africa's place within Caribbeanist discourse, and the idea of the Caribbean itself. Closely examining these cultural expressions of apparent quiescence, Smith locates the quiet violence of colonial rule and the insistence of colonial subjects on making meaningful lives.

Dr. Richard Charles has probably forgotten more about mathematics and technology than most of us will ever know. This brilliant scholar and change-maker of Trinidadian and Venezuelan heritage joined Gerardo for a conversation that is only the tip of the iceberg. An authentically intellectual and curious learner, Dr. Charles represents most what what we dream of being in school district leadership. He is philosophical and a problem-solver, and his passion for prime numbers is only out-matched by his determination that ALL DPS students have access to the best education available to them. Dr. Charles shares his passion for ways in which generative AI can support us at all levels of education. You will feel a little out of your depth on this episode, but stick with it. There is much to glean from this conversation. Support the podcast! Visit out sponsors at Cetera Investors, where Tori and Alex can help. you plan for the future!
Altheia Jones-Lecointe (1945 - present) is a Trinidadian physician and research assistant known for her role as a leader of the British Black Panther Movement. She represented herself in the hearings as one of the Mangrove Nine. It became one of the most influential Black power trials in British history. For Further Reading: Altheia Jones-Lecointe: the Black Panther who became a Mangrove Nine hero Saluting Our UCL Sisters: Elsa Goveia and Altheia Jones-Lecointe Celebrating the Women of the Mangrove Nine This Black History Month, we're talking about Revolutionaries: Black women who led struggles for liberation from violent governments, colonial rulers, and enslavers. These women had the courage to imagine radically different worlds – and used their power to try and pull those worlds into view. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.
