Skin Bleaching Trend
The act of skin bleaching involves putting lotion on your face and body in an effort to lighten your complexion.  This trend is not completely safe, as the chemicals used in these creams may damage your skin.  How common is it?  What does the societal pressure to appear lighter say about identity in the Caribbean?

Guest:
Patricia Saunders, Ph.D., University of Miami


Women in Politics and Business
March is Women's History month.  To recognize this, guest Stephanie Sylvestre joins us on the program to share her thoughts on the challenges of being a woman in business and politics in the South Florida area and the Caribbean.

Guest:
Stephanie Sylvestre, Former Honorary Consul to Belize


Filling Out the U.S. Census
The U.S. Census measures the country's population every ten years.  What is the importance of the Census?  How should a person fill out their forms to properly designate their Caribbean heritage?

Guest:
