In this episode of Paradise Perspectives, I sit down with Stessie Egouy,  whose fascinating tale of being uprooted from her beautiful life in Martinique to the contrasting culture of France tells about the reality faced by many educators from the French islands.

Stessie, a passionate 27-year-old English teacher, shares with us the emotional and professional hurdles of adapting to a new climate and the systemic policies that displace French island educators from their native soil. We talk about the plight of Martinique's teachers, their fight for recognition, and how some are turning to platforms like this one to make their voices heard.

The episode takes a delightful turn though when we focus on Stessie's homeland and she brightens up as she takes us on a tour of her Martinique. From the comfort of gratin de banane and the sweetness of pain au beurre au chocolat to beautiful black sand beaches like Carbet and waterfalls like la Cascade de Didier.

If you want to get in touch with Stessie to learn more about the Martinique Teachers' fight for freedom to teach where they want to teach, you can send her an email or follow her on Twitter now X,
