Machel Montano was an amazing host at Rise and Toast this past Sunday and I got to be in the King of Soca's presents. It was something that he said that really raised the question of, why is it always Reggae vs. Soca? And is there a clear front runner?

This year has brought so much to our community and now it also has taken some of it away. Let’s take the time to be proud of the music that makes us one big family. Soca literally means the '(So)ul of (Ca)lypso.' We aren’t new to this world and are Professionals in our own right. With soca in our soul there is nothing that we can’t do together. West Indie strong, we will be The Last One Standing.


Don’t forget to follo...

And just like that, the year is about to come to an end. This time of year is great for gathering and spending time together and reflecting on the year and even years past, but sometimes that is easier said than done.

One thing about the West-Indie culture is that we are made and raised with some "brought upsies." Not everything our parents and family have done is perfect but we sure knew and understood a little something about respect. In this episode, I'll give a topic to discuss at the dinner table for this Thanksgiving to bring in the holiday season.

Answer them with "What?", Suck your teeth, come home after midnight, leave a spoon in the sink...
These are all ways that you can ensure quick punishment. This week's episode, although it is inspired by a social media post about annoying your Caribbean parents, is a little deeper than that and more so about the generational traumas and general ideas that come from the caribbean.

Welcome to the West Indie-ish where we talk about what it's like to grow up as 1st, 2nd,  and even 3rd generation west indie. Our experiences are unique on an individualistic level but surprisingly very similar as a whole.

We may be born a foreign ...
