Established by Shelley Worrell and Janluk Stanislas, I Am Caribbeing is a cultural organization dedicated to showcasing Caribbean culture in Greater New York City and around the world. Through a multidisciplinary approach, they have become a hub for creativity, featuring artists and makers from the Caribbean, while also supporting the development of small business in Flatbush and the surrounding neighborhoods. Among Caribbeing's most celebrated activities are its culinary and cultural guided tours, which promote local business and introduce people to the Caribbean diaspora. In 2017, Caribbeing began working in the official recognition of Little Caribbean as a center for culture, community and commerce, thus acknowledging and celebrating the contributions made by Caribbean-Americans in the city. Since then, their efforts have expanded from amplifying Caribbean culture and supporting businesses to fostering community and documenting cultural heritage.
