Kerry Ann host of Carry On Friends

Preservation, Culture, Identity & the Evolution of Caribbean Self

The 10th anniversary of the Carry On Friends podcast marks a significant milestone in cultural exploration and preservation. In this episode I reflect on recent conversations with guests like Tristan Barracks, Doniesha Prendergast, Natalie Bennett, Diana McCauley, and Malene Barnett. What started as individual interviews became something more—clear and focused themes around cultural preservation, identity navigation, and evolving expressions of Caribbean-ness.

I explore how these episodes other others from the podcast’s catalog, show how storytelling, art, legacy, and even everyday conversations with our elders become vital acts of preservation. I also reflect on how my own relationship with Jamaican culture has evolved over the years, especially as a parent, and how we make room for both tradition and change.

This episode is a love letter to 10 years of Carry On Friends, but more importantly, it’s an invitation to explore where we’re headed next—together
