In this episode of Culture In Between, Christine Job, host of the podcast Flourish in the Foreign, joins us to talk about her Trinidadian roots. She tells us about the unique ways that she honors her ancestors, the difference between the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, and why Caribbeans (especially Caribbean women) have a tendency to just get on with things, regardless of hardships.
