My experience of nature growing up in St. Philip Barbados has given me some of the most powerful memories of my childhood. In this episode of the Island Woman podcast, I’m sharing my nostalgia for nature back then and the joy it brought me. I discuss how the shift from an agricultural economy to tourism has transformed our landscape in Barbados, leading to some loss of that natural beauty. While I mourn that loss, I believe we can still create a nature-nourishing industry for the future starting with each household.  I’d love to hear how nature has changed in your area—share your thoughts in the comments below!
