In this bonus episode of The Moreish Podcast, Hema and Mireille speak with Melissa Goolsarran Ramnauth, a Florida-based trademark and business attorney, historian, and the mind behind WestIndianDiplomacy.com and the West Indian History Instagram account.
Melissa shares her journey of exploring her Trinidadian and Guyanese heritage, the challenges of preserving Indian indentured servant and African enslaved people's records in the Caribbean, and her efforts to digitize these crucial historical documents. She highlights the rapidly deteriorating condition of these records in some countries and her petition to preserve and make the records accessible.
The episode delves into topics of colonialism, communal strife between ethnic communities in the Caribbean, and the rich cultural heritage expressed through cuisine.
