Episode Description

We'd love to hear from you!

A Folktale from Grenada with Kesha Christie 

Welcome to Season 3 of The Moreish Podcast! We kick off with Toronto-based storyteller and podcaster Kesha Christie’s rendition of a humorous Grenadian folktale, 'The Lady and Her Three Sons,' which highlights the Caribbean tradition of descriptive nicknames. 

Hema and Kesha chat about the cultural significance of nicknames, superstitions, and community spirit within the Caribbean diaspora, and they share their thoughts on why these stories and traditions are essential to preserving their heritage.

Through the conversation, we get a bonus tale as Kesha also shares a personal story about discovering her mother's nickname.

Listen in for an engaging folktale from Grenada told by Kesha Christie, and a lively discussion about Caribbean stories.
