Greetings CV Family;

There is nothing like open air, throngs of islanders and smooth vibes coming over the airwaves to set the tone for a season full to the brim with celebrations of all things Caribbean. The official start of summer kicks off with a full season of outdoor concerts and activities. Keep up with the season’s best events on our Upcoming Events page at www.caribbeanvibeonline.com.

This month we have added a new column contributed by Grace Dantas of Fun Guru to spotlight all the fun and adventure out there to energize your lazy hazy days of summer. Hopefully you’ve been joining us for our Second Saturdays at JRG Fashion Café. Come party and network with like-minded folks and celebrate the magazine that focuses on you. See you there on July 10th.

Visit the CV staff at our booth at the 33rd Annual International African Arts Festival starting July 2nd in Brooklyn’s new Commodore Barry Park at the Navy Yard. Sign up for your two year subscription and walk away with a free gift.

Finally, Happy Father’s Day to all the brothers out there holding it down for the youth. Keep doing what you do and lead by example. For mothers doing double duty, big up to you and your little soldiers. Congratulations to all the elementary, middle and high school graduates, we expect big things from you. And a special shout to Maasai Kush of P.S. 234 thanks for letting us have so much of your mom’s time.

One-

Teron Foster
