Workbook
For Caribbean Immigrant Families
A Workbook for Trinidadian, Barbadian, Guyanese, and Caribbean-Born Families Building Identity Between Islands and America
Your children can hold both the island and the country. They need you to show them how.
For the Caribbean immigrant family navigating island identity and American life who wants to build intentional cultural transmission practices that connect children to both.
The Name It First Experience
Caribbean immigrant families navigate a specific tension: honoring the island home while raising children who will build American lives. This workbook anchors your family in how diaspora identity works across generations. You will build The Sovereign Island Blueprint — a stress-tested and signed document naming your island roots, your migration story, and your family's cultural transmission practices.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What do you call the choice your children feel they have to make — between being Caribbean enough and being American enough — and how did that false choice get into the house?
- When you think about what you most want your children to carry from your island roots, what do you do to actually pass it on — and what gets in the way?
- What would The Sovereign Island Blueprint say your family has decided — about what home means, and that your children get to belong fully to both places?
