For some Caribbean kids whose parents worked overseas, these barrels meant a whole lot more than food and clothes. 🇯🇲 They're part of the story behind the term “barrel children.” Did your family ever send or receive them? #BarrelChildren #CaribbeanTikTok #JamaicanTikTok #CaribbeanHistory

You're 15, new to America, and your mom has to leave before you can register for high school. Then they tell you that you need a parent. Kerri-Ann's brother came up with a solution I never would have imagined. 😂🇯🇲 #JamaicanTikTok #ImmigrantStories #CaribbeanTikTok #Storytime

When the wealthy family your mom works for is donating their clothes to church… but you've got first dibs. 😂 Kerri-Ann knew exactly what she was doing. #JamaicanHumor #CaribbeanTikTok #HandMeDowns #Storytime

I’ve made this joke for years: being raised Jewish in New York meant being raised by a Caribbean nanny. Then while researching Calling Marlene, I finally stopped and asked: why was that actually a thing? Turns out my childhood was sitting at the intersection of two much bigger histories. Full…

Theater grandpa don’t give advice, they give notes 😭 I’m going to listen to his advice and do the unrushed version… So I’m looking for an amazing theater director for CALLING MARLENE (see the linked reel for info about show). If you know someone comment below or send them my way 🙏🏼❤️ 🎟️ Early…

This is Marlene's reaction when I told her the play about us is finished… she knows me so well that her advice at the end almost made me cry 🥺❤️. 10 years carrying this story, 2 years writing it — and she was always going to be my first call when it was finished. Now comes the part I need help…

10 years of making. 2 years of writing. 1 woman. ❤️ This is how Calling Marlene, my one-man show about Marlene, the Trinidadian nanny who raised me, got written. Two years of post-its on a bedroom wall, and yesterday I took them all down. Watch the full 15-minute Episode 1 (in bio) including the…
