TropicZonePodcast -GoingHomeDiaries- Episode Two- Herman Francis

Welcome to Season Two of the TropicZone Podcast. This is your host. Andrew Skerritt. This season on TropicZone features the Going Home Diaries, a series capturing a return visit to Montserrat. It features interviews with individuals who either live on their native island or those who have sought their fortunes abroad. Unlike John Agee, we believe we can go home again. At the same time, like author Jamaica Kincaid, we acknowledge that the person who returns is not the same person who left.
During this series, we will hear from Desmond Micey Riley lives in London and owns and operates a farm in East Africa.
Educator and calypsonian Herman Frances who founded the Small Beginnings Youth Symphony Orchestra on Montserrat.

Dr. Graham Ryan, director of the Montserrat Volcano Observatory

We will also hear from Sonia Charles, who uses her skill and knowledge as a medical professional in service of the health of the women of Montserrat. Even though she lives thousands of miles from home, she is a fighter against breast cancer and a champion of mammograms for Montserrat women.

Our interview subjects include Victor Lewis, who calls himself an architect of entertainment. He is a co-founder of Caribbean One Television Network as well as the owner of VICRAE Inc., a management and production company that develops emerging and established artists. He has worked with the Legendary Third World Band.
