Episode 44: Telling Our Stories
This week I am joined by Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown. In our conversation, Kerry-Ann and I discussed her award winning podcast Carry on Friends: The Caribbean American Podcast, her podcast production company - Breadfruit media, and what it was like being one of the first Caribbean voices in this industry. She also shared the importance of support systems and the power of understanding that there is more than a single story to success. She encourages listeners to define their unique pathway to success, to trust their voices, and tell their stories.
