The 2013 Caribbean Movers and Shakers Networking Series kicked off last week in Atlanta, Georgia at the new luxury lounge “Kouture”. Mr. Michael Thomas, President of Caribbean Media Network considered the event a success and I concur!

Atlanta Caribbean tastemakers, community leaders and honorees all gathered for this memorable event recognizing Atlanta Caribbean Movers and Shakers.
The event was created to identify professionals and civic-minded individuals of Caribbean heritage, living in the metro Atlanta area, who have contributed to the multicultural community. This year’s honorees include: Film Producer Roger Bobb; Songwriters Rock City aka Planet VI; Reggae Ambassador: Gramps Morgan, Da Flava Radio: Rico Vibes, Star Time Inc: Levi MacSween, Radio Pioneer Glen Simmonds, The Whatz Happening Editor: Annette Lemonn; Film Producer: John P Wheatley; Caribbean Association of Georgia President; Jackie Watson: Entrepreneur;Matthew “True” Nelson; Caribbean Star Magazine, and the Black Latino Council.
“This is the first time anyone has honored me. I am so thankful” said Jackie Watson of the Caribbean Association of Georgia.
Although not all of the honorees were in attendance, those present were very pleased and enjoyed the evening of networking. One very busy honoree, television and film producer, Roger Bobb (Guyanese descent), was unable to attend due to his hectic filming schedule (he’s currently producing The Rickey Smiley Show) so we delivered his award and medal to him personally!
