Lupus is an important topic that affects millions of individuals worldwide. In this episode, we shed light on the challenges and triumphs of living with lupus. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to mistakenly attack healthy cells and tissues. It can affect various parts of the body, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and organ damage. Through engaging discussions and personal stories, we explore the impact of lupus on daily life, the physical and emotional toll it can take, and the strategies and resources available for managing the condition. Our expert guest will provide valuable insights, practical tips, and glimpse into the reality of living with lupus. By fostering open conversations, we aim to raise awareness, debunk myths, and break down barriers surrounding this often misunderstood illness. Moreover, we strive to provide a supportive platform for individuals with lupus, their loved ones, and the wider community to
share experiences, seek guidance, and find solace in a community that understands.

Music is a huge part of our lives and a major part of Caribbean culture. We are known for our groundbreaking strides in dancehall and reggae, with many artists breaking out into pop and other genres. Music can be very influential, which has caused some discourse into how much responsibility persons in music should take on when it comes to the messages they send through their craft. Free expression is necessary for society to thrive and for artists to be able to have creative control over their work, however, is there a limit to how much or what persons are able to say? In this episode, we discuss the line between free expression and harmful glorification in music. Our special guest for this podcast is the Senior Director of Monitoring, Compliance and Investigations at the Broadcasting Commission of Jamaica, Don Dobson.

Teachers play critical and vital roles in society. Their impact on future generations is something that many describe as immeasurable. For those of us on the outside though, we may actually know very little about the profession and what it entails beyond teaching in a classroom. Oftentimes teachers play the roles of therapists, advisors, mentors and even parents.
Their role is so diversified, important and many times mentally/physically draining. Enjoy Part 1 of our episode, as we will discuss the untold stories of being a teacher in Jamaica. Part 2, will be coming soon!

Post Grad Depression in Caribbean Students
Post Grad Depression is a prevalent issue in our students, especially in the Caribbean. It can be difficult to navigate your first entrance into the world outside of school, seeing your peers successes while your life doesn’t seem to be moving as quickly, job hunting, rejections, trying to figure out life and more. All these can have a tremendous impact on mental health and can lead to post grad depression. Our special guest for this podcast is Associate Clinical Psychologist , Verol Billett.

Mental Health is a very important topic as it affects people’s lives every single day. Mental Health impacts a person’s relationships, professional/school work, standard of living and more. Mental Health can even have a large impact on one's physical health - both negatively and positively. In the Caribbean however, actively taking care of one’s mental health is often not taken seriously and even ridiculed. We often hear the term “mad man” as well which promotes a negative connotation for those struggling with Mental Health. This episode will take a deep dive into the Stigmatization of Mental Health in the Caribbean; where it stems from, its consequences and what we can do to contribute positively.
