State comptroller tours Little Caribbean
By Nelson A. King
New York State Comptroller,
Thomas P. DiNapoli on Thursday
took a culinary and cultural tour
of New York City’s Little Caribbean
neighborhood in Flatbush,
Brooklyn.
During the visit, DiNapoli met
with elected officials, community
members and business owners
to discuss neighborhood happenings.
The tour was led by Shelley
Worrell, founder of CaribBeing
and Little Caribbean NYC; New
York State Sen. Zellnor Myrie;
New York State Assembly Member
Diana Richardson; and Brooklyn
Chamber of Commerce President
and Chief Executive Officer
Randy Peers.
The three-hour walking tour
included stops at Tafari Tribe;
Styles By Lisa Mulzac; Brooklyn
Perk Coffee; Culture Chest;
Errol’s Caribbean Bakery; Peppas
Jerk; African Record Center;
Labay Market; Allan’s Caribbean
Bakery; and Rain Eatery.
DiNapoli presented proclamations
to Worrell, Myrie, representative
for the 20th Senate District
in Brooklyn, and Richardson, representative
for the 43rd Assembly
District, also in Brooklyn, for
their work in the community.
He also presented the Brooklyn
based Caribbean Women’s
Health Association with a check
for their unclaimed funds for
$11,250.00.
“Brooklyn’s Little Caribbean
neighborhood is a living celebration
Caribbean L 6 ife, JUNE 25-JULY 1, 2021
of the rich cultures and
accomplishments of our diverse
city,” DiNapoli told Caribbean
Life afterwards.
“Shelley Worrell provided an
outstanding tour of the neighborhood,
as we explored businesses
that represent the riches of the
Caribbean,” he added. “Brooklyn
is home to some of America’s
largest immigrant communities
– entrepreneurs who lift New
York’s economy and culture.
“I was also honored to present
Ms. Worrell, State Sen. Zellnor
Myrie and Assembly Member
Diana Richardson with proclamations
for the important work
they do throughout the community,”
the comptroller continued.
“As New York reopens, their
leadership is critical to ensuring
everyone shares in an equitable
recovery that is inclusive of all
communities.”

founder of CARIBBEING. Andrew Hill
other elected officials celebrating
“One Love Little Caribbean Day”
on Thursday, said she was “honored”
to be a participant.
“As the daughter of Haitian
immigrants, I can’t tell you how
proud I am to be part of and
represent such a dynamic community
of trail-blazers and smallbusiness
entrepreneurs,” Louis,
who represents the 45th Council
District, comprising parts of
Flatbush and East Flatbush, told
Caribbean Life.
“For hundreds of years, Caribbean
Americans have crossed
oceans and broken barriers to
build better lives for ourselves
and for our families here in New
York City, and in cities and small
towns across the United States,”
she added. “I think ‘One Love Little
Caribbean’ is a beautiful testament
to the growing clout and
cultural influence of the Caribbean
American community here
in Brooklyn.
