ROOTT is an independent Caribbean media platform built to tell stories that reflect who we are: honestly, boldly and without distortion.
Our journalism will explore the people, cultures and ideas shaping the region while holding power accountable. We believe Caribbean stories deserve depth, context and the freedom to challenge familiar narratives.
This is a space for investigations, culture, sport, food, spirituality and the lived Caribbean experience.
Independent Caribbean Media, Rooted in Trinidad and Tobago
Founded by Joshua Seemungal, ROOTT brings together written journalism and video reporting from Trinidad and Tobago. Joshua serves as Founder and Lead Journalist. The platform looks outward to the wider Caribbean while staying connected to the communities, experiences and questions that shape life at home.
Investigations, Features and Caribbean Stories
Visit ROOTT Investigations for reporting on public accountability, including healthcare, education, public spending and environmental concerns. Each published report carries its own evidence, attribution, responses and qualifications. Read the full story to understand its context.
Our Features & Documentaries section explores people, culture and community through video and storytelling. It also houses our developing music, culture and sports coverage. The aim is to make room for personal journeys alongside the wider issues affecting Caribbean life.
In Spirituality, ROOTT explores reflection, belief and the search for meaning. Together, these sections reflect a Caribbean experience that includes creativity, achievement, difficult questions and the connections between people.
