What does community actually mean — and what happens to the people we leave out of it?

In this Stick Ah Pin episode, Sanika pauses the season to reflect on what the summer revealed: about slowing down, showing up, and the quiet weight of accountability we carry into fall.

From Essence Fest energy to Sumfest vibes, Leo season had us in our feelings about who's really in our corner — and what it costs to build a community that doesn't leave people behind.

In this episode:

• What the summer taught her (the good, the bad, and the crackling knees)
• The launch of the Feel Away series — and why Caribbean culture needs louder conversations
• Community, the lost ones, and why accountability is an act of love
• Fall TV, daily reading, and the books she can't put down
• A season update — How Do You Divine? goes weekly until the finale

Referenced in this episode:

• The Anxious Generation — Jonathan Haidt
• Up from Nothing — John Hope Bryant
• Before I Let Go — Kennedy Ryan
• Paradise (Hulu) — Season 2
