A conversation with Adeola Dewis on mas, memory, migration, and how Carnival performance becomes method, healing, and self-representation across displacement.

In this episode, Zaira Simone and I explore how memory becomes a form of resistance and how grief—personal, ancestral, and collective—functions as a methodology of care. We reflect on remembrance as practice, refusal, and political intimacy, and consider what it means to grieve together, honour lineage, and carry memory as a form of healing.

In this episode of Saltwater Reasonings, I am in conversation with Adjoa Armah, artist, writer, and researcher whose work moves between Ghana, UK, and the wider diaspora. We speak about water, as body, boundary, and bridge, and how the sea holds memory for those of us whose histories are shaped by movement, rupture, and return.

In this episode, Professor Camille Nakhid joins Saltwater Reasonings to explore liming, ole talk, and the politics of listening—unpacking how Caribbean ways of knowing shape resistance, relation, and care across the diaspora.

In this opening episode of Saltwater Reasonings, I sit with Yentyl Williams to explore how Caribbean traditions of reasoning shape our approach to knowledge, scholarship, and activism. We speak about Frantz Fanon, collective responsibility, and the marks our generation must choose to leave on the world.
