The second episode of Barbados’ Home Drums podcast has officially dropped, continuing its mission to strengthen connections with the Barbadian diaspora through powerful storytelling. Titled Boardroom Brilliance to Barbadian Bliss, the episode features global investment strategist Julia Clarkson, whose journey from corporate corridors abroad back to her island roots offers a compelling narrative of cultural reconnection and personal fulfilment.
Hosted by media personality Chrissy D, the podcast delves into Clarkson’s life as a successful Bajan woman navigating the international business landscape. Despite her global success, Clarkson shares how the rhythms of Barbados, its people, culture, and music have never stopped calling her home.
The conversation highlights not only her return to the island but also the joy of rediscovering her heritage, the impact of investing in community, and her sense of identity. From Sunday family gatherings to immersing herself in local music, Clarkson’s story is a celebration of homecoming and belonging.
Home Drums forms part of the We Gatherin’ Barbados campaign, an initiative aimed at rekindling ties with Barbadians living abroad. The podcast offers a unique platform for diaspora voices to share stories of triumph, transition, and the ongoing connection to their homeland.
Listeners can tune in to the episode on YouTube and Spotify. With each instalment, Home Drums continues to echo the heartbeat of the Barbadian spirit, reminding Bajans everywhere that no matter how far they roam, home is always within reach.
