Show Notes

Most travelers see Saint Vincent as a tropical getaway. But behind the beaches lies a defiant history of Indigenous resistance, African survival, and cultural resurrection. This is the untold story of the Garifuna, the volcano that fights back, and the people who turned colonization into cuisine — and trauma into tradition.How did Saint Vincent defy European conquest for centuries?
Why is breadfruit more than food — and Carnival more than dance?
And why are Vincentians still fighting for their land, their rituals, and their rhythm?This isn't just a cultural journey — it's a survival epic written in ash, arrowroot, and ancestral memory.What would you do if your paradise never truly belonged to you? Would you fight? Or would you feast?
