S1|EP5|Meeno my body| Cultivating a Healthy Body Image

Meeno is a curious, heart-centred podcast where cousins, Safiya and Rea Vanterpool, explore identity, culture, and becoming—through the lens of Caribbean life and honest conversation. We explore our interests through learning and educating, because we doh know—and we wan’ know.

Whether you’re from the islands, in the diaspora, or simply seeking deeper connection to yourself and others, Meeno invites you into a slow, thoughtful dialogue—one that sounds like home, even if you’re still figuring out where that is.
