Little Caribbean (EST 2017) is home to the largest and most diverse Caribbean-American-LatinX community outside of the West Indies, making up 20% of New York City. Recently named one of 2024’s coolest neighborhoods in the world by Time Out magazine, this thriving community is a hub for Caribbean/Black-owned businesses, cultural expression, and community development. Since 2010, I AM CARIBBEING has amplified this community's voice and will continue to commemorate the history of the Caribbean Diaspora in New York City & beyond.
