About this listen

In this episode of Trains of Thought, host Khaya Salmon explores the emotional and cultural realities of Caribbean-Canadian immigration through intimate conversations with her mother, Jackie, and best friend, LaTonya. Inspired by the stories found in Stanley Grizzle’s personal archive, Khaya reflects on what has and hasn’t changed since the days of the sleeping car porters and their families who migrated north in search of opportunity. Through shared memories, moments of culture shock, and reflections on belonging, this episode offers a heartfelt look at the weight and wonder of building a life far from home and what it means to carry one’s roots across borders.
