Read & Carry On: A Jamaican-American Memoir of MS, Divorce & Identity
Send us a text What happens when life hits you with multiple life-altering challenges at once? For Nicole Dubois, it was the catalyst for a profound journey of healing, self-discovery, and ultimately, sharing her story with the world. Nicole's memoir "Unparalyzed" began during a solo trip to Greece—a journey she took after leaving a note on the refrigerator for her husband of 17 years announcing her decision to divorce. Standing atop the Acropolis in Athens, feeling both literally and metaphorically on top of the world, she experienced a moment of clarity that would change everything. Facing a multiple sclerosis diagnosis, impending single motherhood, and an uncertain future, Nicole turned to writing as therapy. "Unparalyzed" offers a uniquely Caribbean-American perspective on universal challenges, exploring complex family dynamics, cultural expectations, and the liberation that comes from owning your story.

Rethinking Caribbean Disaster Relief: A Call to Action
Send us a text Is the Caribbean prepared for the next hurricane season, or are we stuck in a reactive cycle? As I look back on the turmoil of the 2024 hurricane season, I question the chaotic and fragmented approach to disaster relief efforts in the diaspora. Many in the diaspora are eager to help but are caught in a web of mistrust surrounding donation processes. The absence of a centralized organization that can effectively manage and coordinate relief efforts leaves us at a crossroads. The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) under CARICOM exists, and seems to be in the best position to bridge this gap and engage the Caribbean diaspora, especially in the United States, to foster a unified and effective disaster management strategy. Looking ahead to the 2025 hurricane season, there's an urgent call for community preparedness and collaboration. We need to come together to strategize with a focus on proactive planning rather than reactive scrambling. This is a conversation for everyone—community members and organizations alike. By publishing this episode early in the year, my hope is to spark dialogue that will lead to meaningful collective action. Let’s build a network of trust and efficiency, ensuring that when the storms hit, we are ready to stand strong together. UPDATE: The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) exists under CARICOM. At the time of my initial research and recording, CDEMA did not accept public donations. It appears to have recently created an account to accept donations for Hurricane Beryl relief. While this is a step in the right direction, there is still a significant gap in the system.

Our Healing isn't a Luxury
Send us a text 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.

Jay believes that business is not for the faint of heart and it is like “war without guns,” and time management, being detail-oriented and believing in yourself are all important factors in business success.

The Friendship Episode
Send us a text In our latest episode, Kerry-Ann and Chris talk with Clive Williams and Mikelah Rose on friendships. Mr. Williams explains that in friendships you not only go through good and bad times, but you must also face them together. In addition to poor communication, misunderstandings and inconsideration, Mr. Williams pointed to the fact that friendships typically dissipate due to promises not kept and expectations not met. But, though challenges in friendships are often inevitable, reconciliation is usually possible. Through this discussion, the audience is encouraged not to take the word “friend” lightly, but rather to be intentional in building and nurturing lasting friendships.

Growing the Audience for Caribbean Films
Send us a text In this episode we explore the Caribbean film industry and the challenges Caribbean filmmakers face in reaching their audience. We chatted with Jamaican-born, Rachel Osbourne, who is dedicated to helping Caribbean filmmakers reach their audience through her media platform JulieMango.TV. According to Rachel, the major issue the Caribbean film industry faces is not a lack of good films, but a poor distribution and marketing system for them. We also discussed the idea that the Caribbean audience is generally unaware of the availability of films from the region, which results in low viewership and the belief that the audience is not interested in Caribbean content.
