In this episode, I speak with Dr. Monique Kelly an Assistant Professor at the Michigan State University. Monique is a former track athlete from Kingston, Jamaica.
We dive into aspects of the classism and racism debate and specific social issues initiated by Slavery and colonialism in Jamaica. In addition, Monique tackles controversial topics such as skin bleaching and the political contribution to racism in Jamaica, and disparities in access to wealth.
Bio:
Dr. Kelly received her Ph.D. in 2019 at the University of California Irvine. She joined MSU Sociology in 2019 as one of the College's first Dean's Research Associates.
Her research broadly focuses on racial and ethnic identities, attitudes, and inequality, as well as on immigration processes connected to those social dynamics. Her current research agenda uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate race, colorism, stratification, and inequality comparatively within the Anglo-Caribbean ( English Speaking) and the larger black diaspora.

As Jamaicans, we grew up seeing our parents and grandparents toil day and night to provide. We saw working hard as a sign of strength and an avenue to success. Many did not stop to think about how the workaholic culture impacts our mental health.

New Year!
New Look!
New opportunity to start afresh!
Hey! Allow me to reintroduce my Podcast!
I started the podcast journey without being fully prepared. However, the only way to improve is to start!
There was a name, a concept, bad audio but I kept pushing. What I've learned along the journey is that perfection can stifle or kill dreams.

The idea is to connect Jamaicans in the diaspora and amplify our voices. We hope that people who love Jamaica will come along for the ride too!
On this episode I encourage Jamaicans at home and abroad to step into their greatness by providing meaningful stories and books that will aspire them like to be the many heroes before us. We are from the same little country as Marcus Garvey and Bob Marley. Why then are we not collectively stepping into our greatness?
One Love! 🖤💚💛
