Island Girls Rock Podcast

Rooted: Stories of Community-Driven Change is a partnership between Island Girls Rock and the Clara Lionel Foundation. We came to this series with a question: what does it look like when change is truly driven by community? Across Season One, we found not one answer but many, each shaped by a distinct place, a particular history, and the specific kind of courage it takes to keep showing up.We close with Dana François, Programme Officer for Haiti at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, a conversation about long-term investment, narrative power, and what it truly takes to ensure that Haiti is seen not as a place defined by crisis, but as a place of innovation, leadership, and resilience.If you haven’t yet listened to the full season, all ten episodes are available now and each conversation is worth sitting with.This is where Season One of Rooted rests. We are so grateful for every woman who sat with us, and for every listener who travelled with us.This podcast is hosted by Chantal MillerProduced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal MillerEdited by BreAnna HolmesSee more from W.K.

In this episode of Rooted, we are in conversation with Dr. Renée Rattray, a Jamaican educator, thought leader, and education activist who has spent more than two decades working to transform how Caribbean children are taught, how Caribbean systems are led, and how the region imagines its own future.Dr. Rattray is the founder of One Love Pedagogy, a Caribbean-rooted educational framework that places love, identity, culture, and community at the centre of how learning is designed and delivered. She is also the President and Founder of Island Futures Fund, a Caribbean-led nonprofit working at the intersection of education, cultural identity, and climate readiness.She speaks with honesty and depth about choosing teaching over law, moving through classrooms and whole systems until she understood that the work she needed to do could not be contained within structures that already existed. Love, she argues, is not a soft word, it is a rigorous and demanding framework for how education must be reimagined. And at the heart of everything she has built sits one unshakeable belief: that Caribbean children carry brilliance, and that it is our systems not our children that must rise to meet it.This podcast is hosted by Chantal MillerProduced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal MillerEdited by BreAnna HolmesSee more from Island Futures here: islandfuturesfund.orgSee more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: claralionelfoundation.orgSee more from Island Girls Rock here: islandgirlsrock.com Hosted on Acast.

A gentle note before you listen: this episode contains references to sexual violence and the experiences of women living under conditions of extreme danger. We share this with warmth and with care, and we invite you to listen in whatever way feels right for you.In this episode of Rooted, we are speaking with Florence Jean-Louis Vorbe, Executive Director of PROFAMIL, the Association for the Promotion of the Haitian Family, and one of Haiti’s most respected voices in sexual and reproductive health.Founded in 1984, PROFAMIL has been a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of people across Haiti, delivering care through permanent clinics, mobile health units, and community health networks that reach into the country’s most remote and vulnerable communities. Florence has led this work through earthquakes, hurricanes, political violence, the collapse of public services, and now the withdrawal of international aid, and through all of it, PROFAMIL has remained open, present, and committed to the people it serves.In this conversation, Florence takes us back to the beginning: how she found her way to this work, what Haiti looked like for women and girls when she first stepped into this field, and what made her believe that change was possible even then. She speaks honestly and with depth about women’s bodies and dignity in a moment of acute crisis, about the vision behind PROFAMIL’s commitment to building programmes that do not depend entirely on international donors, and about genuine partnership grounded in listening rather than assumption.This is a conversation centred on endurance and love, on what it takes to keep showing up for your community decade after decade, and on the quiet, steady courage of women who refuse to let the people around them go without care.Florence Jean-Louis Vorbe is a woman who has earned her rootedness. We are honoured she is here.This podcast is hosted by Chantal MillerProduced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal MillerEdited by BreAnna HolmesSee more from PROFAMIL here: profamil.orgSee more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: claralionelfoundation.orgSee more from Island Girls Rock here: islandgirlsrock.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Rooted, we are speaking with Gwen Chambers, Executive Director of BlacQuity, a nonprofit organisation based in Bluffton, South Carolina, dedicated to promoting, elevating, and empowering Black-owned businesses across the Lowcountry.Founded in 2020, BlacQuity delivers entrepreneurial education, coaching, and access to capital, including through Black Equity University, a twelve-week accelerator programme that helps entrepreneurs build stronger businesses and work toward long-term sustainability. With a background spanning sales, marketing, and nonprofit leadership, and deep roots in the region, Gwen has committed herself to reshaping the local entrepreneurial ecosystem so that more Black founders can start, scale, and genuinely thrive.This is a conversation about the real difference between opportunity and equity, about what generational wealth means in the communities Gwen serves, and about what it looks like to rebuild an entire economic ecosystem from the inside out, with intention, with care, and with an unwavering belief that the people most overlooked by existing systems are exactly the ones with the most to offer.This podcast is hosted by Chantal MillerProduced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal MillerEdited by BreAnna HolmesSee more from BlacQuity here: blacquitysc.orgSee more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: claralionelfoundation.orgSee more from Island Girls Rock here: islandgirlsrock.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Rooted, we are speaking with Lorraine Mangonès, Executive Director of FOKAL, the Open Society Foundations Haiti. Known in Haitian Creole as Fondasyon Konesans ak Libète, the Foundation for Knowledge and Freedom, FOKAL has for nearly three decades been one of Haiti’s most important civil society organisations, working at the intersection of education, culture, access to information, and civic life.Lorraine studied theatre and art history in England and the United States, and communications in Canada. She chose to return home after the fall of the dictatorship in 1986, and has been with FOKAL since its founding in 1995. Since 2008, she has led the organisation as Executive Director.This is a conversation about what it means to choose your country, to build something lasting in the face of unimaginable difficulty, and to believe, without apology, that culture and knowledge are the foundations of a free society. Lorraine speaks about leading FOKAL through the 2010 earthquake, making the case for deep structural work in a world that often demands quick results, and what she wishes the world truly understood about Haiti.This podcast is hosted by Chantal MillerProduced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal MillerEdited by BreAnna HolmesSee more from FOKAL here: fokal.orgSee more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: claralionelfoundation.orgSee more from Island Girls Rock here: islandgirlsrock.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Rooted, we are speaking with Jhannel Tomlinson-Evans, co-founder of Girls Care JA, Girls Climate Action for Resilience and Empowerment. Jhannel is a scholar activist whose work is grounded in the belief that climate justice in the Caribbean must centre the voices, leadership, and lived realities of women and young people.This is a conversation about what it truly means to build a movement from the inside out. What it looks like when mentorship becomes a methodology. When young women are not just included in climate action but trusted to lead it. And what happens when an organisation spends five years holding that commitment, even as the climate crisis intensifies around them.From youth mobilisation and technical training to visual storytelling and disaster response, Jhannel brings deep knowledge, quiet conviction, and a vision for feminist climate leadership that is both urgent and enduring. We hope this conversation leaves you feeling the weight and the hope of what is possible when Caribbean girls and young women are given the space, the support, and the solidarity to rise.This podcast is hosted by Chantal MillerProduced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal MillerEdited by BreAnna HolmesSee more from GirlsCARE here: rebrand.ly/GirlsCAREJASee more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: claralionelfoundation.orgSee more from Island Girls Rock here: islandgirlsrock.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Rooted, we are speaking with Anna Cadiz-Hadeed, Deputy Executive Director and Staff Partner of the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute – CANARI – a regional non-profit technical institute headquartered in Port of Spain, Trinidad, that has been working across the Caribbean for more than thirty years.This is a conversation about what it truly means to put people at the centre of conservation. What it looks like when communities are not consulted but genuinely empowered to steward the natural resources their lives and livelihoods depend on. And what happens when an organisation spends three decades holding that belief, even when the world makes it hard.From participatory natural resource management to regional grant-making, to advocating for small island developing states on the world stage, Anna brings twenty years of experience, extraordinary depth, and a quietly radical vision to this work. We hope this conversation leaves you feeling more connected to the Caribbean – to the land and sea that make us who we are, and to the people who have dedicated their lives to keeping it whole.This podcast is hosted by Chantal MillerProduced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal MillerEdited by BreAnna HolmesSee more from CANARI here: canari.orgSee more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: claralionelfoundation.orgSee more from Island Girls Rock here: islandgirlsrock.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Rooted, we are speaking with Carine Jocelyn, founder of the Haitian Women’s Collective and the Fund for Haitian Women, the first women’s fund in the entire Caribbean region.This is a conversation about legacy and the long game. What it means to spend more than 25 years building institutions rooted in the belief that Haitian women deserve to be seen, supported, and centred. And what it takes to create something so foundational that it outlives your own direct involvement.From establishing a community health centre in Port-au-Prince that continues to be locally run to this day, to making history at Profamil, to founding two landmark organisations, Carine brings both extraordinary depth and quiet conviction to this work. We really hope this conversation moves you as much as it moved us.This podcast is hosted by Chantal MillerProduced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal MillerEdited by BreAnna HolmesSee more from the Haitian Women’s Collective here: thehwc.orgSee more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: claralionelfoundation.orgSee more from Island Girls Rock here: islandgirlsrock.com Hosted on Acast.

We really hope this conversation moves you as much as it moved us.This podcast is hosted by Chantal MillerProduced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal MillerEdited by BreAnna HolmesSee more from Helen’s Daughters here: helensdaughters.orgSee more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: claralionelfoundation.orgSee more from Island Girls Rock here: islandgirlsrock.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we sit with creator, scholar and proud Nevisian, Simone Mills, known online as @everytingsimsimma, for a rich and grounded conversation on culture, Carnival, identity and the quiet ways we continue to resist.Simone shares how she tells our stories through two essential lenses: the creative and the academic. She speaks openly about “nerding out” over history, constantly tracing threads between our present day traditions and their deeper roots. Her research into Carnival as resistance has shaped not just her work but the way she moves through the world.We talk about showing up in spaces that were not made with us in mind, and how disruption does not always need to be loud to be powerful. Simone also offers a beautiful reflection on growing up between worlds, feeling too West Indian for American folks and too American for her Caribbean family, and how that in between space helped her anchor herself in her identity.For her, the islands are not just heritage. They are home.This is a thoughtful and heart full conversation with a woman who studies, celebrates and lives her Caribbean identity with clarity and joy!This podcast is produced by Island Girls Chantal Miller & BreAnna HolmesEdited by Island Girl BreAnna HolmesShow NotesConnect with Simone:Instagram: @everytingsimsimmaTikTok: @everytingsimsimmaTwitter/X: @icegreenandgoldMore About Island Girls RockVisit our website: islandgirlsrock.comConnect with us on Instagram: @igr_love Hosted on Acast.

This episode arrives a little later than usual because we chose to pause, to organise ourselves for relief efforts, and to honour and share the work that communities and organisations across the Caribbean and diaspora are doing to support those affected by the passage of Hurricane Melissa.In this conversation, recorded on September 16, 2025, we speak with Senator Janelle K. Sarauw of the U.S. Virgin Islands. During our discussion, she reflects on her first term which began after two Category 5 hurricanes devastated the islands. After much consideration, we decided to keep this part of the conversation in as it naturally occurred because it shows the resilience of our people and reminds us of how we continue to rebuild with hope.Senator Sarauw shares her journey from the classroom to the Legislature, her experiences showing up authentically in leadership spaces, and her work advocating for youth, culture, and the environment. Her story is a reminder that strength and leadership take many forms, and that showing up as yourself can be a powerful act of service.If you are looking for ways to support Caribbean communities at this time, these are the organisations we are aligning with in our relief efforts: Girls Care JA and White Ribbon UK for Jamaica, and in Haiti - Hope for Haiti and Haiti Air Ambulance, all doing vital work to support those most affected.If this episode resonates with you, we would love for you to rate, review, and share it with a friend, so others can be inspired by Senator Sarauw’s story of leadership, resilience, and authenticity.This podcast is produced by Island Girls Chantal Miller & BreAnna HolmesEdited by Island Girl BreAnna HolmesShow NotesConnect with Senator Janelle K.
