Caribbean in Queens: a Podcast featuring Audio Plays and interviews about Caribbean-Americans living in New York City during the COVID 19 Pandemic. This is a project of Braata Productions: a Caribbean non-profit arts organization dedicated to preserving Caribbean Heritage.
Episode 1: A Jamaican-American in London… and COVID hits!
Katrina Holgate is away from her home in Queens, NY working in London; this is her first time being so far away, which at times takes its toll as she is very close with her Jamaican parents: Meryl and Toney Holgate. While in London, there is an outbreak of the Coronavirus. Katrina and a male coworker find themselves stuck in London after being left behind out of a group of seven people. The race is on to make it home in time before the lockdown starts in London. Will they be able to make it?
