Caribbean Heritage

As the child of Caribbean immigrants, I was very lucky to grow up connected to the islands of my parents’ births. Annual trips to the Bahamas and Antigua instilled in me from a young age a love of warm, salty breezes, flavorful foods, and irresistible rhythms that make me dance wherever I am. From the people, to the food, to the music and the languages, a kaleidoscope of vibrancy is abundant throughout Caribbean culture. This June we celebrate Caribbean Heritage Month and the diverse, complex beauty of its many islands with our collection of emerging and classic writers. Whether you’re from the islands, have simply visited, or are dreaming of the day you will, there’s something here for everyone. —Margaret Hargrove, Audible Editor
