Episode 47: Our Heritage, Culture and Identity (with Dr. Dellareese Higgs)

This week I am joined by Dr. Dellareese Higgs. Dr. Higgs is
passionate about the Caribbean and her research interests include
Ethnic and Cultural studies, Tourism Studies, Gender, and
Caribbean Identities. Dr. Higgs walks us through defining culture
and heritage and how they shape our collective and individual
identities in our multicultural Caribbean. We discuss the unique
identity of the Turks and Caicos Islands in relation to the rest
of the Caribbean as well as how this identity influences the way
we educate, work and live. We discussed the effects of
colonialism on the Caribbean and the impact it continues to have
on contemporary Caribbean. Dr. Higgs encourages listeners to be
willing to have difficult conversations that explore our past,
the way that past is impacting our present and to be intentional
in embracing our valued heritage, culture, history and
identity.
