episode 88: Episode 88 - Carleen Goodridge
Carleen spent her childhood in one of New York's most infamous neighborhoods and home to arguably the most legendary hip hop group of all time (hint: 10304). While the world outside was 90s boom bap, puffer coats and pagers, stepping through her family apartment's threshold transported you to the sunny shores of her ancestral home, Liberia. Not all was sunshine and rainbows in Carleen's life; she suffered a lot of setbacks that put strain on her mental health, as well as strained her family relationships. But through it all she persevered, found self-love, passion and pride for her heritage through cooking, and has earned the title of Lady Le Monade (and if you pronounce it with an accent you're bougie).
