Diane M. Hinds|Author|Trinidad's Untold Past| Colonialism|Conflict|ChangeDiane M. Hinds is an author and distinguished entertainment publicist with a profound connection to Trinidad, stemming from her formative years on the island between 1975 and 1979. During this period, her father, Rev. Kenneth Hinds, served as a Clerk in Holy Orders after being ordained at St Albans Abbey by Archbishop Bob Runcie. These experiences deeply influenced Diane, fueling her passion for sharing pivotal yet often overlooked chapters of Caribbean history. Her debut novel, Conquerabia: The Struggle for Identity, offers a masterfully fictionalised account of Trinidad's history. The narrative spans from Christopher Columbus's discovery of the island in 1498 to its cession from Spain to Britain's Sir Ralph Abercromby. The novel delves into significant events, including the tenure of the island's first governor, Thomas Picton, and examines the profound impact of the abolition of slavery on Trinidad's social and cultural landscape. Through this work, Diane captures the resilience and indomitable spirit of Trinidad's people, paying tribute to the rich heritage that has shaped the vibrant island known today. Beyond her literary endeavours, Diane is recognised for her career as an entertainment publicist and her role as a dynamic speaker. Her personal journey, including managing Sickle Cell Disease, brings added depth to her insights on Trinidad's past and her creative process. Diane's unique perspective makes her an engaging addition to literary podcasts focusing on postcolonial narratives, Caribbean heritage, and the fusion of fiction with historical fact.Link:https://dianehindswrites.com/fSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprPEG uses StreamYard.com for our live podcastshttps://streamyard.com/pal/c/6290085463457792Get $10.00 Credit for using StreamYard.com when you sign up with our linkRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rss
