Our 2021 in review.
This year, we made it to Harvard, made the Top 50 in Tech, and offered the most unique Christmas gift ever.
We'll see you at the bottom...
We made it to Harvard.
Yes, you read that right!
Drawing on research in neuroscience and psychology, we were invited to speak on how the memories we inherit and pass on can shape and empower us.
We also developed an automated tool called a 'Legacy Time Capsule' for participants to record a memory of their own to pass on to future generations.
We made the top 50 in Caribbean Tech.
SiliconCaribe included our co-founder, Felicia Chang, on 2021's Top 50 Caribbean Women in Tech list.
The list comprised women from 14 countries operating inside 24 tech industry sectors.
Judges looked at, amongst other things, Impact, Leadership and Firsts. They also considered research and a few other deliberations.
Reviews for our first public book are coming in...
Here's what journalist Debbie Jacobs had to say about our Salvatori, Un Corsu À Trinidad:
“For a book, Salvatori’s life feels very cinematic .... It should be used in business and history classes, but should also be read by all who care about stories of colourful characters, immigrants, business, success, courage, history and re-invention. It is an extraordinary piece of research and writing.”

(By the way, the book also makes for a wonderful Christmas gift 😉)
📞 MemoryLines: The most unique Christmas gift in the world.
If you want to give your loved ones a gift they'll treasure forever, then MemoryLines is it!
MemoryLines are recorded interviews between a professional interviewer and your loved ones recounting their life's stories.
The recording is a gift that can be passed on for generations. Here's what one of our clients had to say about it:
““It’s so special to hear my Dad recount his stories in his own voice and in his own way. My kids will treasure this forever!””
We couldn't fit everything we've been up to in this end-of-year newsletter - more on that next time - so we'll sign off by saying how grateful we are that you continue to stand by us.
We are growing (still!) and can't wait to connect with your stories in the new year.
Merry Christmas to all, and warm-season greetings...

Plantain
Testimonial
“I recently finished my Plantain interview and am now giving a public review because my experience with them was so positive I’d like other people to have the same opportunity I did. When I initially signed up for the interview, I was nervous because I’d never done anything like this before. However, Plantain’s interviewing skills quickly put me at ease, and now I’m so glad I took the plunge. With sensitivity and friendly support, they guided the interview so flawlessly it was almost as though she could read my heart, and their final product truly does reflect the authentic person I am. I would never have been able to do this on my own.Thank you so much, Plantain.”
