Ancestral Voices We Belong - Episode 3
On this episode of Ancestral Voices: We Belong, host Kim Wheatley welcomes special guest Karen Wolcock.
Karen’s journey spans continents, cultures, and careers. Born in Jamaica and raised in Canada, she has carried her heritage with pride while navigating the worlds of music, media, and business. From launching an independent record label as a teenager, to working in radio at Toronto’s Flow 93.5, to creating her own concierge and event-planning company, Karen has always been driven by entrepreneurship, resilience, and a deep commitment to community.
In this inspiring conversation, Karen shares her migration story, behind-the-scenes memories of working with music legends like Queen Latifah, Janet Jackson, and Beyoncé, and the lessons she’s learned about building relationships, staying persistent, and finding her place in spaces where cultural representation matters most.
This episode is about creativity, perseverance, and the power of using your voice and skills to open doors for yourself and others.
