Q and a
What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?
What a question, I think I have to pick one thing?
I’m West Indian Afro Latino. I have a lot of curry and plantinos in my blood. I think that part of me is loud and funny. We dance and celebrate with colors and music constantly.
When I close my eyes I see my people dancing in costumes to loud music in the streets. It is one of my most vivid memories. I was 13 in Trinidad playing Mas. I was dressed as a Lagajo in black tights with white shoes and a large dog head dress.
I must of walked with a float 10 miles that day dancing . It was December in the Caribbean so it was 90 degrees easy and humid. The music was so loud you could feel it in my soul. So many bodies and smiles. I will never forget it.
I peak into my mind.
See you Friday

Q and A
So I grew up in a very West Indian Afro-Latino kitchen. I ate so much food that was rich in flavor and spice. Tumeric, curry, anis, ginger and so many more spices are the starting point to the flavors. We eat Roti, Platanos, chillies and drink Ginger beers and Sorel. So I guess that would be my favorite type of food. OK, bye.
No, I ate mostly curries and Naan-type breads. They shaped my childhood. I can remember my long-dead family thinking about how wonderful their food smelled. It was a big thing that we shared together. In some cases, it was how they showed love and affection. My Dad used to take my all over town to pick up Roti skins for dinners with long lost relatives. I have such a big family I have only met some of them once ever. We all meetup and eat like royality, everyone shares stories of their lives.
The Caribbean has a lot of great tastes and cultures. Come see Carnival, it will change your life. The joy of strangers compelled to dance in the streets by a common music. Carnival is like a primal scream of beauty, food and dancing wrapped together. There are islands full of smilling faces.
