Welcome to another episode of Truth Be Told: A Caribbean Call to Action on Climate & Gender Justice.
Guest host Paula Joseph sat down with Dr. Angelique Nixon, Director of CAISO, a feminist LGBTQI+ civil society organization in Trinidad and Tobago, about the profound impact of climate change on gender justice in the Caribbean.
The Caribbean, known for its vibrant cultures and breathtaking landscapes, is facing a stark reality – the intersection of climate change and gender injustice. Dr. Nixon unveils the unequal impact of climate change, emphasizing that it exacerbates existing social inequalities, leaving women, LGBTQI+ communities, and marginalized individuals disproportionately vulnerable.
In this discussion, we delve into the complexities of the issue, exploring how gender roles, access to resources, and displacement contribute to this vulnerability. Dr. Nixon advocates for a resilient future, calling for intersectional policies, a focus on sexual and reproductive health, inclusive disaster preparedness, and intergenerational collaboration.
Discover the power of awareness and activism through campaigns like Truth Be Told. Dr. Nixon stresses the importance of education, cross-movement collaboration, and shifting the public narrative to inspire hope and fuel transformative change.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
