Helping communities in Jamaica over Christmas (26/12/2025)

Kamilah McInnis

Available for 14 days

Kamilah McInnis speaks with Ziggi, who swapped Kent for Kingston this Christmas to volunteer in Jamaica, in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. After 90,000 people were displaced, Ziggi shares the latest from the ground and what drove her to act. Producer Bree shares the stories you might have missed, from local news to global headlines. And Kamilah plays some catchy Caribbean Christmas songs for your Boxing Day soundtrack. We also look back on highlights from the year, including Kamilah’s conversation with dancehall icon Sean Paul and The Rt Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Bishop of Dover and Bishop in Canterbury. For great music, good vibes, and stories from our African and Caribbean communities, join Kamilah every Friday from 7-10pm.
