From Storms to Stories with Grace Cameron I

Nutmeg Nation with Carlene Humphrey

Ever wondered what it feels like to face a hurricane head-on? Join me as I recount an eerie experience during a hurricane in Kingston where my apartment's glass doors vanished without a trace. Alongside Grace, we reflect on heart-wrenching stories from Haiti, including a father's unimaginable loss during a tropical storm. These tales shed light on the emotional challenges and resilience of Caribbean communities in the face of natural disasters.
Get ready to feast on the vibrant flavors and rich narratives of Caribbean culture. Grace and I discuss the fascinating creation of "Jamaican Eid" and the importance of authentically representing one's heritage through food and personal stories. We highlight how storytelling and cultural festivals strengthen community connections and offer a deeper understanding of Caribbean traditions and experiences.
Discover the journey behind launching a magazine dedicated to Jamaican and Caribbean culture. From initial funding struggles to transitioning to digital media, and the revitalizing power of social media, we explore it all. Learn about the unique value of printed magazines and how community events like Jamaican Eats and the Caribbean Board Games and Brunch bring Caribbean culture to life in Toronto. Listen in as we celebrate the power of storytelling, community support, and cultural celebration.
