It’s Caribbean American Heritage Month in Washington, DC!
An opportunity to celebrate the vibrancy, culture, and diversity of our Caribbean communities—in our government and all across the District.
Dir. Snider joined the Caribbean community at Sapodilla’s, a woman-owned restaurant led by Chef Samantha Abrams, for a celebration of culture and connection.
The meet-and-greet featured KestheBand, residents, and visitors highlighting Caribbean culture’s growing influence in DC.
Dir Snider attended a community mixer hosted by the DC Caribbean Bar Association w/ the Caribbean Law Student Associations of both Howard and American University. She connected w/ students & professionals across the Caribbean community.
Happy Independence Day to Grenada 🇬🇩✨
Wishing all Grenadian Washingtonians peace, pride, and continued prosperity as you celebrate your nation’s freedom, culture, and resilience.
Happy Veterans Day!!
Not only to those that served but our family members who stood by us in support of our service. 👩🏾✈️🥇
