From the cobblestone streets of Montego Bay to the airwaves of your favorite podcasting platform, Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown, founder of Breadfruit Media and producer of Strictly Facts, joins us as we reflect on the evolution of Strictly Facts: A Guide to Caribbean History & Culture and discuss her passion for Caribbean American narratives.
Wading through the complex currents of Caribbean heritage, this episode serves as an audio compass guiding us through the shared experiences that unite the diaspora. Through the medium of podcasting, we unearth the common cultural threads—from migration patterns to the very words we speak—that bind us together, ensuring that our stories continue to thrive and reach new shores. We harmonize over the show's vision, the historical narratives infused with cultural revelations in segments like Strictly Facts Sounds, and share some of our favorite moments and episodes, revealing the profound impact of memorializing events like the Kendal Railway Tragedy for future generations. So tune in, as we celebrate Strictly Facts on the eve of Caribbean American Heritage Month and our love for Caribbean storytelling through podcasting.
Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown is the founder of Carry On Friends, a digital platform. She is also the host, Carry On Friends: The Caribbean American Experience, a show with authentically energetic Caribbean vibes, and thoughtful dialogue around culture, heritage, career, and everyday life that make up the Caribbean American experience. Through Breadfruit Media, Reid-Brown produces content, specifically podcasts with a priority and emphasis on stories by Caribbean Americans on a variety of topics reflecting the diversity of experiences of the Caribbean’s global diaspora.
When she is not producing or recording episodes, she is fostering a community with the Caribbean Podcast Directory which is a growing list of podcasts created by people of Caribbean Heritage whether in the region or in the diaspora. Professionally, Reid-Brown has over 15 years of experience in a variety of roles resulting in a unique blend of project management, HR, talent development, operations, customer relations and marketing experiences. I am currently a learning & development program manager for a management consulting company.
