Walk Good: African and Caribbean Folktales

Granny Said: “Mind Yuh Mouth” – Featuring How Dog Lost His Voice - A Vincentian Folktale


Listen Later

What happens when you talk too much and listen too little?

In this episode of Walk Good, we journey to the vibrant hills of St. Vincent and The Grenadines to explore the power of words through the Caribbean saying, “Mind yuh mouth.” You’ll hear a rich retelling of the folktale How Dog Lost His Voice—a story about a talkative dog, a royal visit, and the consequences of spilling secrets.

Blending oral tradition with lived wisdom, this story reminds us that what we say—and when we say it—matters more than we think.

🎧 Whether you’ve been told to hush, or you’ve said too much yourself, this one will hit home.

Listen now, and walk good.
