Eight years ago, Flatbush resident Shelley Worrell began thinking about ways to combine her passion for the Caribbean, its history and culture for the residents of Brooklyn. 

What was created was CARIBBEING, a thriving cultural organization that stands at the crossroads of Caribbean film, art, culture and commerce. Now in its seventh year, CaribBeing has grown into a global movement and serves as a culturally relevant hub for creative collaborations with some of the Caribbean's most visionary talent and innovative brands.

What started off as an experiment, transformed into a collection of beautiful things that you can wear, use and incorporate in everyday life, said Worrell. 

If you haven't yet had a chance to experience CaribBeing, during this holiday season, join CaribBeing for its third edition of their Caribbean Holiday Market Experience, located at The Plaza at 300 Ashland, in Downtown Brooklyn.

This is a unique opportunity to shop for handcrafted and one-of-a kind items from several favorite Caribbean makers and artisans offering a range of food, beauty, jewelry, and hand-crafted goods.
