Hustle Her - Shurnett


Listen Later

Embark on a voyage of heritage and tenacity with my nana Shurnett Yvonne Nathan-Caines, who finally graces the Hustle Her Podcast with her presence. Through laughter and candid reflection, she shares the essence of her Jamaican upbringing and the playful mischief that nurtured her benevolent spirit. As we explore her family ties, it’s more than nostalgia; it's a salute to the community service and values that continue to steer her compassionate course in life. We're not just reminiscing about days gone by; we're connecting the dots of a legacy that echoes through generations.

Shurnett's tale weaves through the challenges of her athletic childhood in Jamaica, her life-altering relocation to Bermuda, and the courage that led her to embrace a career in nursing. Her story is a testament to adaptability, seizing new opportunities like joining the Young Ambassador Club, and the fortitude to leave an indelible mark on her community. In this conversation, we don't just uncover the journey of a woman who defied expectations; we uncover the resilience required to thrive in the face of life's pivotal moments.

As we wrap up this episode, we delve into the impact of West Indian heritage in shaping Bermuda’s cultural landscape. Shurnett's pioneering spirit is evident as she recounts the struggles against discrimination and the prideful strides in preserving cultural identity. She doesn't just share her history; she gifts us a blueprint for advocating self-worth and racial equality. Join me as I offer gratitude to you, my listeners, and to my cherished Nana Caines, for an episode that celebrates the power of our roots and the unbreakable bond of family.
