*(Relate)able family it’s a new week and one of our hosts are up to her old tricks again, completely forgetting her promises from last season. We decided to have a random catch-up on all the things happening in the world and to close off the first quarter of 2024.  We’re giving our homegirl Amanda Seales her flowers this episode, we see what they’re trying to do and we’re not standing for it! We thank you for your love, your passion, your unapologetic support and advocacy for us Caribbean people and the people who suffer relentless bombarding of their homes, and most importantly for being yourself! There’s no Under the Mango Tree this week, however, we are extending a surprise invitation to one of our biggest fans to join us on the podcast as one of our guests so watch this space! If you have any feedback, comments, or for sponsorship opportunities, be sure to get in touch with us via email on relateablepodcast@gmail.com or via Instagram on @the_relatable_podcast_  Show notes:All about our Homegirl Amanda Seales

*(Relate)able family do we date in the Caribbean? And if not, Why Don’t We? In this episode we explore dating in the Caribbean (Or the lack of it)  We discuss our experiences with dating within our community and what constitutes dating / courtship. Our hosts may have come up with a new concept for dating in the Caribbean called *(Relate)able Dating, let us know your thoughts.  As usual there’s lots of laughs and revelations, lots of joy and lots to look forward to, and we bring you some beautiful ocean sounds for UTMT.If you have any feedback, comments, or for sponsorship opportunities, be sure to get in touch with us via email on relateablepodcast@gmail.com or via instagram on @the_relatable_podcast_  

Episode 12It's Carnival Season, everyone! In February, all three hosts participated in carnival celebrations from different islands. Therefore, we found it appropriate to engage in a discussion with one of Saint Lucia’s Cultural Icons, Dr. Adrian Augier, regarding the evolution of carnival from its traditional roots towards a more commercialized direction. We explore how both aspects coexist, each depending on the other for survival, while striving to maintain the authentic essence of what carnival signifies to us.This week, Under The Mango Tree returns, transporting you to Martinique carnival, where you can immerse yourself in the chants of "Libérez le siwo" (Liberate the Siwo) and the rhythmic drumbeats that evoke a deep sense of nostalgia and spiritual connection to our ancestors.If you have any feedback, comments, or for sponsorship opportunities, be sure to get in touch with us via email on relateablepodcast@gmail.com or via Instagram on @the_relatable_podcast_  Remember the Les Bohemes early bird special ends on March 31st so please book early to save some cash!

This week on The *(Relate)able Podcast we attempt our first roundtable on the topic of Colorism (yikes)! There’s so much to unpack with this topic, however we thought it wasn’t really our place to speak on something so important which may not have affected us three ladies in a negative way; so, we invited three friends Taribba, Emma, and Ashlee (See their Instagram profiles / website below) to fill us in on how they may have been affected. There was so much to talk about, and so little time so watch this space as we may need to run part two. **Disclaimer if you are triggered by this topic then we understand if you choose to skip this week, we love you and we care that you feel safe with us so it’s arite!There’s no UTMT this week, however we have an announcement… So, your favorite *(Relate)able hosts will be teaming up with one of our favorite sponsors LesBohemes on this year’s retreat in Dominica from 27th October to 3rd November!!!
