Show Notes

Financial Abuse: The Control You Never Saw Coming examines how money is used as a tool of power inside Caribbean households and diaspora families. The episode traces how post slavery survival systems, informal economies, and cultural expectations quietly turn financial support into control. Through a grounded documentary lens, it exposes how access to wages, benefits, remittances, and legal status can erase autonomy without visible violence. The story centers lived reality rather than spectacle, showing how silence, duty, and gratitude are used to enforce dependence. This episode challenges listeners to recognize financial abuse not as personal failure, but as a cultural and historical blind spot with lasting consequences.
