Show Notes

Most people think of Grenada as paradise. But beneath the postcard beaches lies an island forged in fire—of revolution, ritual, and resistance. This isn’t just the story of nutmeg or Carnival. It’s about the women who boiled bush medicine in silence, the rebels who took on empire, and the ancestors who still whisper through waves. Why do some recipes carry more power than any flag? And why do Grenadians pray before opening a pot of oil down?
This story challenges everything you think you know about culture, colonization, and Caribbean survival.
What does it really mean to “remember through rhythm”?
And how much wisdom lives in the things outsiders call “superstition”?
Would you have heard it? Or would you have missed the message between the drums?
