The Women Who Built Jamaica: From Resistance to Resilience

The Women Who Built Jamaica: From Resistance to Resilience

Welcome Home: Jamaica’s Story—From the Fire of History to the Flame of Future traces the powerful, often overlooked role of women in shaping Jamaica’s identity. From Taino women safeguarding the first seeds of survival, to Nanny of the Maroons’ blueprint for freedom, to Mary Seacole’s bridge-building beyond borders, the podcast journeys through centuries of resilience, property ownership, and cultural legacy. It highlights how women—from market stall higglers to suffragists—have been central to nation-building, not just as survivors of history but as architects of Jamaica’s future.
