In this episode of Dis A Fi Mi History Podcast, host Wendy Aris engages in a profound conversation with Tami Dee Garcia—Cultural Heritage Reconnection Coach, author, and speaker—about reclaiming Caribbean cultural identity and navigating family history. Tami shares her deeply personal journey of connecting with her Dominican and Jamaican roots, raising an Ethiopian daughter in a multicultural environment. Her lived experiences illuminate the challenges and rewards of reconnecting with ancestral heritage and how family genealogy shapes our identities across generations and geographies. With over 30 years in cultural education, Tami empowers others to rediscover their Caribbean heritage and embrace their family's legacy. Tune in for an inspiring discussion on preserving cultural traditions, enhancing one's family history, and fostering a sense of belonging in today’s interconnected world.
The core message: your heritage is your birthright—start small, be intentional, and reconnect to create belonging across generations.
