Afro-Caribbean Group
Whether you are a Caribbean brother situated the UK or the US, you bring such flavor and dopeness to spaces, that people can’t help to notice you. You change environments just by your presence. Your culture, music, food, your outlook on life is different.

You feel incomplete without your outlet to just release to just be you, without Carnaval in two year, and its’ starting to feel stifling to be here. Nothing in the world will stop you from going home to Carnaval in 2023. That type of excited is what we share in a shared space.

It pissed me off for so long that we never have a box to check. We have hispanic, black or African American, pacific island, Caribbean have never had a box to check. We’ve never had our own box.

Introduce them to how he had a white college who sent him a documentary, then sharing with white colleagues around this as well. Would like to do with a group setting.
There’s a Caribbean heritage month in the month of June. It’s Caribbean heritage month. Who are we acknowledging at that point. Are you as a Caribbean man championing for highlighting this, for how they highlight this? It’s unheard of because of us.
