Freshwater Yankee
Wendell Riley, a Trinidadian creative, community leader, educator, and cultural commentator living in the United States, explores themes of immigrant life, building identity in new places, and finding beauty and humor wherever you may go. Through personal stories, lively discussions, and cultural insights, Freshwater Yankee (a Trinidadian term for someone Americanized after time abroad) explores what makes us different across towns, regions, and countries, and ultimately, what connects us all.

Wendell sits down with Miranda Restovic, President and Executive Director of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities and the Executive Director of PRIME TIME, Inc.
Miranda tells her story of coming to America at the age of eleven from Dubrovnik, Croatia, and discusses her work in the Humanities, what the word "home" means, and what it's like revisiting the place where you grew up when you live in another country.
