That starting point matters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carryonfriends.com\/lens-2-of-the-caribbean-diaspora-experience-model-cdem-where-you-live-what-you-seek\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Where You Live + What You Seek = How You Connect<\/a><\/strong>:&nbsp;Living in Brooklyn versus Milwaukee isn\u2019t just geography, it\u2019s a different experience of Caribbean culture.

These are the touch points that carry memory and transmit knowledge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your Identity Will Shift, That\u2019s the Point:<\/strong>&nbsp;As we age, our relationship with culture evolves. It\u2019s not loss, it\u2019s recalibration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cultural Identity Influences How We Show Up at Work<\/strong>:&nbsp;Our work ethic, ambition, and how we navigate professional spaces are all shaped by cultural values.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You\u2019re Not Either\/Or, You\u2019re Both\/And<\/strong>:&nbsp;Being fully Caribbean and fully American\/Canadian\/British at the same time is not a contradiction, it\u2019s our strength.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stay-connected\">Lens 4: Your Cultural Identity Will Shift &#8211; That&#8217;s the Point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this episode I dive deeper into\u00a0<strong>Lens 4 of the Caribbean Diaspora Experience Model (CDEM): Your Cultural Identity Will Shift &#8211; That&#8217;s the Point as well as the Sub-Lens: How You Show Identity Changes Too.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our cultural authenticity does not disappear when you stop knowing the latest song or the latest dance move; it reshapes itself around the life you are living now. Many of us in the Caribbean diaspora may feel that uneasy feeling of being out of the loop. We remember those years when we knew latest. Then, one day, the pace changes. That shift is culture doing what it must to survive: evolve with us as we grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also the matter of how we show identity. Some of us learned to quiet our accents for survival, code switch at work, and then switch back when with friends and family. Others lead with identity in every room. While others move depending on when or where.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our cultural identity is meant to shift. What often feels like disconnection is actually evolution. As we grow older, our relationship to cultural anchors like music, language, food, and celebration changes in depth and expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than measuring cultural belonging by how current we are, this episode invites listeners to consider how they are carrying culture differently now. Whether through cooking, teaching, documenting family history, or building platforms that honor heritage, evolution is not loss. It is continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stay-connected\">About <strong>Caribbean Diaspora Experience Model (CDEM<\/strong>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carryonfriends.com\/caribbean-diaspora-experience-model\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Caribbean Diaspora Experience Model (CDEM)<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;isn\u2019t an academic theory.
