Yesterday was the 2015 Miami Broward Carnival. A celebration held in sunny South Florida where all the caribbean islands are represented via Mas Bands, colorful costumes, music and food all in one place.
Last year was my first time attending carnival and I must say I had a blast. The Haitians were out there in full swing representing the bleu et rouge alongside our brothers and sisters from the other islands. Kompa, reggae, soca and reggaeton filled the air as scantily clad men and women gouye and busted a whine in the streets. The parade encircled the South Campus of FIU before entering the carnival grounds for the day's main events. After walking alongside some of the most popular Mas Bands and seeing all the fun the people had masquerading I declared that next year I would not attend as a spectator but as a costume wearing player.

Interviewing Dr Shaquille O'neal and Wyclef Jean
This past Saturday evening, October 3, 2015, I had the opportunity to attend the celebration of Barry University's 75th Anniversary. A 1940's themed event held to honor the family of the founders and to allow the alumni, current students and community leaders to mix and mingle and celebrate 75 years of higher education and community involvement.
