Abandoned Daughters of Caribbean Moms: Intro w/J. Rosemarie

Abandoned Daughters of Caribbean Moms explores the emotional journey of women whose mothers left the Caribbean in the 50s and 60s, leaving them behind.

I touch on the reason for starting this podcast -- the fractured relationships between mothers and daughters who were never able to reconnect.

This private, heart-wrenching podcast creates a safe space for abandoned daughters and mothers alike to share their stories, free of judgment or guilt.

About the Podcast

Abandoned Daughters of Caribbean Moms
Exposing the unhealed wounds and fractured relationships between Caribbean moms and their daughters caused by mass migration.
During the 1950s and 60s, hundreds of thousands of West Indians, including many Caribbean moms, migrated to the UK, Canada, and the U.S. for better opportunities. They played vital roles in industries like healthcare and education, significantly shaping the cultural landscape of their new homes.

However, many of these mothers left their children, particularly daughters, behind. While some daughters later reunited with their mothers, the emotional scars from these long separations often went unhealed, leaving many relationships fractured.

This podcast explores the profound and lasting impact of this mass migration on the daughters left behind, examining the emotional toll and the long-term effects of these unresolved relationships between Caribbean mothers and their daughters.
