What inspires a man to uncover the stories of others? Our special guest, Kervin Thomas, founder of Traveling Mako, reveals how his curiosity and love for storytelling led to the creation of his vibrant brand. Join us as we explore the meaning behind "Mako" and how Kervin’s journey has evolved, especially during the challenging times of COVID-19. We also celebrate the resourcefulness and ingenuity of Grenadians, illustrated through delightful anecdotes like the creation of sorrel jelly from leftover ingredients. This conversation is a tribute to the resilience and creativity that define the Grenadian spirit.
Transport yourself to the sun-soaked memories of childhood in Grenada, where music, art, and family traditions shaped our lives. Kervin and I reminisce about the influence of our parents on our musical tastes and the lasting impact of iconic soca artists. From school days filled with tree-climbing adventures to savoring local snacks, we paint a vivid picture of the simple joys of island life. We also reflect on how different but complementary experiences of growing up in rural versus urban Grenada contribute to the rich tapestry of our culture.
Our journey wouldn't be complete without celebrating Grenada's iconic Carnival, or Spice Mass, and the cultural phenomenon of Jab Jab. Kervin shares his insights on the evolution of traditional costumes and the symbolic power behind the Jab Jab culture. We delve into the ecstatic energy of Carnival events like Monday Night Mass, which honors our heritage with an organized and electrifying celebration. Listen as we discuss the contributions of notable Grenadian artists and the humor and creativity displayed during events like Fancy Mas and Old Mas, capturing why Grenada remains a cherished destination for all. Don't miss out on this vibrant and heartfelt exploration of Grenadian culture and resilience.
