Hey... so y'all ever read a text, reply, and then never hit send? ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ’ฌ

I swear that's what we did... ALL YEAR. ๐Ÿ˜… We made (a little) time, and we recorded (a couple episodes), but life kicked our collective butts and we took an unanticipated hiatus. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

Between burnout, Tamara being the Caribbean version of bi-coastal ๐ŸŒดโœˆ๏ธ, Tarik taking up space full-time on St. Croix ๐Ÿ๏ธ, & wonderful things happening for us personally & professionally ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ“š, we've been taking our time to be intentional about nurturing US, being flexible, & adjusting to find a beautiful balance. โš–๏ธ We're almost there... ๐Ÿคž

We love y'all, we swear... โค๏ธ๐Ÿค— and we're coming back (SOONER than you think)! ๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸŒŒโœจ

A few months ago, we decided to start recording our everyday conversations & put them out into the world, we thought, "๐˜๐˜ฆ๐˜บ, ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜บ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต?!" And the response has been ๐—˜๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ฌ๐—ง๐—›๐—œ๐—ก๐—š. We've been stopped in public, we've gotten DMs and texts with questions like: "๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ'๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ต ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ?" and "๐˜ ๐˜ซ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต, ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ!". Every time that happens, it feels like a gentle nudge from the universe that we're on the right path โ˜บ๏ธ.

But - I'm sure you've noticed that we've taken a bit of a hiatus - albeit unplanned & unexpected. Life be life-inโ€™, and between navigating a shift in our family dynamics, managing a business, and doing deh people anโ€™ dem wuk -we've had to press โธ๏ธ on the ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ podcast.

But we're coming back! We promise! Bear with us a bit as we flex and adjust to our "new normal." But until then - ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐—น๐˜‚๐˜ƒ ๐—ฎ๐—ต๐˜†๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฎ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ!

***NEW EPISODE ALERT ***
They may go by different names, "Strong Black Woman" or "Caribbean Superwoman", titles that elicit images of women who possess the capacity to withstand hardship. But the women that hold these titles face cultural expectations to display unshakeable resilience in the face of adversity, mastering a balancing act that has been historically held in high regard. But, at what cost? In this episode, we explore the Caribbean Superwoman schema, the influence of culture, we peel back some of the layers and, take a look behind the mask.

The podcast is finally HERE! And we're coming with a TWO-episode launch. Get to know us & let's take a deep dive into some of the nuances of Caribbean life as we carve out space to talk about all things mental health through a Caribbean lens.

Episode 1: We engage in a little Q&A session in this episode. We talk about everything from what we would do if we won the lottery to the things we love about Caribbean culture.

Episode 2: Have you ever heard of the term "collective trauma"? In this episode, we explore recent events that have rocked the US Virgin Islands, the ways we're deeply affected by those events and our day-to-day lives. And as always, we find a way to celebrate the beauty of Caribbean culture, even in challenging times.
