Cultural Currency

Do we value our culture or just participate? Inspired by an event that I attended called Culture Con, I ask the hard question if we truly understand the value of Caribbean culture and what it means to have cultural currency. We often talk about representing our culture and setting trends that are later picked up by pop culture globally. But do we truly value our own? It’s an opened ended question as I explore the possibilities and want your feedback. Let’s keep the conversation going. Plus new segment covering "What I'm styling and vibing to."

Only One Woman

When it comes to music, does it feel like there can only be one woman at the top of her game? The notion that only one woman can run tings is such a crazy notion being that so many men are considered great in their respective genres without being directly pitted against one another. In this episode, Kerry-Ann, our executive producer, and Shawn, of Reggae Talk Podcast, dissect the possibilities of why this notion came to exist and what we think the future looks like for women in music.
