Milgaros, Janelle and Taniyah party in the streets every summer for Caribana, North America’s biggest street festival, but with each passing year, their real-life problems encroach more & more, killing the vibe, while appropriation by outsiders is destroying their culture. #DVpit #A #LF #POC #OWN
A group of people in colourful Carnival costumes dance in the streets.

Multiracial Paraska’s collection of pearls comes from far and wide, each holding unpaid ancestral debts stretching back centuries. How can she fulfill a promise she’s unaware of? #DVpit #A #LF #HF #MR #POC #OWN #Caribbean

Three Caribbean friends reunite for Caribana, North America’s biggest street festival, to dance their blues away, but as the years pass, the women are forced to face some hard truths – about themselves, their lives, and the meaning of legacy. WAHALA + THE WILDERNESS #DVpit #A #LF #POC #OWN

The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.
