In this episode, we delve into colonialism and Caribbean history with renowned genealogist Paul Crooks. Mr. Crooks is not only an author but a passionate speaker who has dedicated over 13 years to uncovering the rich narratives of African Caribbean genealogy. His groundbreaking journey led him to be the first individual of African Caribbean descent to trace his ancestry back to his enslaved ancestors in Jamaica during the transatlantic slave trade. Join us as Paul shares his experiences and insights into the importance of heritage and family history in understanding our past and shaping our identities today. Whether you are interested in your own family genealogy or the broader implications of colonialism in the Caribbean, this episode offers valuable perspectives and a deeper appreciation for the stories that define us.
