Listen "Caribbean Realities and Resourcefulness: Managing Distraction & Finding Hope | Island Woman Podcast"
Episode Synopsis
Caribbean realities are complex, from high youth unemployment to the rise of informal work, gender inequality, and climate threats. But alongside the challenges, there’s a deep well of hope, ingenuity, and resourcefulness we can tap into.In this episode of the Island Woman Podcast, I explore how we as Caribbean people can manage distractions, stay focused, and hold onto what’s real. Drawing on insights from the Caribbean Development Bank’s Labour Market Differentials in the Caribbean study, we’ll look at three truths that can keep us grounded: 1️⃣ The power of sharing and community: from backyard produce to collective entrepreneurship. 2️⃣ Turning off the noise: and protecting your mental space in a hyper-connected world. 3️⃣ Caribbean ingenuity: the traditional practices and mindset shifts that can fuel sustainable living and a stronger future.If you care about Caribbean resilience, sustainable living, and economic empowerment, this conversation will inspire you to see possibilities beyond the “doom and gloom.”
