From Carriacou to Brooklyn: Building Sustainable Futures & Cultural Legacy

July 8, 2025/Kerry-Ann/,

Grassroots Action, Culture & Climate Resilience

In this episode, you’ll hear from Majella Mark —a passionate cultural preservationist and sustainability advocate—who is leading efforts to rebuild the Carriacou Museum following Hurricane Beryl. But her work doesn’t stop there. From spearheading eco-living initiatives in Brooklyn to advocating for smarter diaspora engagement, Majella is bridging heritage and innovation to build a more resilient Caribbean future.

The conversation dives deep into why museums matter—not just as buildings but as cultural anchors—and what happens emotionally when natural disasters destroy those spaces. We also explore how intergenerational collaboration and diaspora action can transform recovery from reactive to proactive.Whether you’re from a small island or a big city, there’s something here for you: a reminder that legacy isn’t just what we inherit, but what we choose to preserve and pass on.

If you’ve ever wondered how to truly support your home country beyond remittances—or how to live meaningfully in community—this episode is for you.
