This episode of the chattabox features Carla Vlaun, local historian and co-host of the Mélé podcast. Carla's passion for local history has always intrigued me, and in this episode, we do a deep dive into her journey in carving space of Sint Maarten's history and culture and her time abroad. We explore the different narratives developed during historical events, the erasure of experiences, and how this impacts the views we develop of different groups. We nerd out on the topic of identity, the nation vs. the state, sustainability vs. high consumption culture, and examine questions like is equity possible?
