Culture and Clarity - The Podcast

Culture and Clarity, hosted by Dr. Kaiya Nash and Dr. Deondra Smith, dives deep into how growing up in Caribbean culture shapes our mental health — the good, the complicated, and the unspoken. Each episode explores the unique experiences, values, and taboos that come with Caribbean upbringing, from the “strong face” mentality to generational trauma, faith, family, and identity.

Through honest conversations and personal stories, we shed light on what’s often left unsaid in our communities — creating space for healing, understanding, and, most importantly, clarity.

Whether you’re Caribbean-born, part of the diaspora, or simply curious about the intersection of culture and mental wellness, Culture and Clarity invites you to listen, learn, laugh at times, and grow with us.
