New York City is comprised of thousands of different cultures. Fortunately I have been blessed to grow up in a highly diverse Caribbean community; Flatbush, Brooklyn. This community speaks over 20 Caribbean English dialects as well as creoles in French and Portuguese. In my community you will be able to tune into Caribbean radio shows, news, movies and sitcoms on cable channels such as 25 as well as Caribbean restaurants, fashion and concerts with soca, reggae, kompa, zouk and kizomba artist and much more.Citation
Flatbush, Brooklyn adds a different flavor to New York City that is sometimes not always comprehended. Hence, we have community leaders whom have grew up or lived in Flatbush long enough to understand the vibe of the community. One such leader is Mathieu Eugene, the New York State Council Member for Flatbush. He has conducted annual health fairs, screenings and free health services in Flatbush. He is also a co-founder of the committee for the Development of Northern Haiti to provide support to immigrants in Brooklyn. In addition he is a former president of the Haitian community of Holy Innocence church. These are just few examples of his work to help residents of Flabush.
