Building Back Home with Jackie

In this special introduction episode of Building Back Home with Jackie, I take you back to where it all began.

What started as a lifelong dream — building a home in the country where I was born — slowly became a journey filled with unexpected challenges, emotional moments, red flags, and hard lessons learned along the way.

As a Bajan-born New Yorker with a professional background in Data and Document Control, I believed preparation, organization, and planning would protect the dream. But building from overseas introduced realities I never expected.

In this episode, I share:

🌊 Why building back home meant so much to me
🏠 The 25-year dream behind the journey
📑 What it’s really like managing construction from abroad
🚩 The first warning signs that something wasn’t quite right
⚖️ Why contracts, communication, and documentation matter
🧭 How this experience inspired an educational podcast for the diaspora community

This podcast is not about attacking any individual, company, country, or organization. It is a storytelling and educational platform based on personal experiences, reflections, and lessons learned while navigating an overseas construction journey.

If you’ve ever dreamed of building back home, investing overseas, or creating a legacy for your family — this journey is for you.
