This week’s episode is an information-packed one with Renee Kendall. Renee is an attorney with Trinidadian roots, and she provides practical advice on how to get our affairs in order through wills, advanced directives and similar legal support.
First, Renee tells us what it was like to spend her formative years in Trinidad, then move to America. She talks about having to navigate the nuances of living in America, while being taught Trinidadian values. She also shares her experiences with bullying as a young girl and how she learned to mask her heritage.
Renee now runs a legal practice named Caribbean Legal Solutions, that focuses primarily on land, estate and advocacy matters. The goal is to connect Caribbean-Americans, and anyone else outside of the Caribbean, with attorneys that are based in the Caribbean. Because people so often retain connections to their home countries such as land ownership or family relationships, they often need to find reliable, trustworthy attorneys.

Listener Takeover Part 2
Welcome to part 2 of our 2 part listener take over series with Kemoy Kayan, one of our most engaged and active listeners of the Carry On Friends podcast. To mark an incredible milestone 10 year anniversary for Carry On Friends - the website, I wanted to do something special. So I invited Kemoy to join me in the host's chair and interview me on the show. It was truly memorable experience to have Kemoy ask me questions about the adventure creating Carry On Friends and I'm sure you will be just as inspired by her curiosity.
