Bermuda: The Crossroads of the Atlantic 51:57

10 days ago51:57

51:57

On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

No matter where you are in the small business process, I think we can all agree that COVID-19 is scary for all of us. We are hearing a lot about restaurant/bar related small businesses, but there are other small business owners impacted, too. This week, I talked to four business owners about how COVID-19 has impacted them, what they’re stressed about, how they are moving forward and how they are coping with the current state of life. Angie Ballard from Hair Nation Salon (brick-and-mortar, currently closed); Nick Lagagsorn from Buddha Lounge (open, to-go only) and Roulay Restaurant (closed after being open for only 30 days); Graham Allen from Square Pegs Design (freelancer with altered schedule); and Megan Bell from The Next Door Market (originally set to open May 2020). You are not alone, small business friend.
