Welcome to the Dis A fi mi History Podcast, where host Wendy Aris dives deep into the cultural and historical legacy of the Caribbean through enlightening conversations. In this fascinating episode, Wendy sits down with Teddy Mack, a master's student at SOAS University, to explore the intricacies and significance of Vincentian Creole, an English-lexified Creole language.

Born in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Teddy Mack shares his journey of rediscovering his linguistic heritage, shedding light on how Creole languages often regarded as 'broken English' are in fact fully-fledged languages deserving of recognition and pride. He discusses the historical evolution of St. Vincent Creole, its influences from African and European languages, and the importance of preserving this unique language as a critical part of Vincentian identity.

Tune in to understand the vital role language plays in connecting the diaspora to their roots and the ongoing efforts to document and promote Vincentian Creole. This episode is an eye-opening exploration of the power of language in preserving cultural identity and heritage.
