RAGGA Feature update 2018: Frankie

RAGGA NYC and Jamsterdam will join forces to bring together NY and Jamaican talent for the launch of a travel project called “CONNEK”. CONNEK Kingston will link queer, artistic and liberal folk in Jamaica to their allies across country borders through group trips and online storytelling. So in despite of your background, identity and possible doubts- if you're interested in building genuine ties to this beautiful country then CONNEK Kingston is for you!

Against all odds and trivial media Kingston, Jamaica has celebrated their 4th Pride. At this pivotal time in queer liberation, our mission is to help develop the often-short sighted perception of queerness in the Caribbean. There is no time like the present to bridge the gap of connection and aid this country’s already courageous movement towards the future. The time for demystification and bridge building is now!

We hope that you will join us in raising funds for a project that has never been done before that is way overdue. Please donate and share our go fund me campaign. https://www.gofundme.com/ragga-x-jamsterdam-connek?teamInvite=PHJ07yXW8cUzhhGHfXbafDMVoDssKcAbe5sGlXVqSCa88nMxYMbfhHf3OgjNUxQY

RAGGA Radio special CONNEK episode - Christina & Chaday

RAGGA NYC is a hybrid of ideas that began as late night conversations over familial island roots, current social politics, empanadas vs. beef patties, pum pum shorts, scamming and a longing for an authentic dancehall party that provides a safe space for queer Caribbeans and their kin. A platform founded by Christopher Udemezue (Neon Christina), RAGGA NYC connects a growing network of queer Caribbean artists and allies working across a wide range of disciplines—including visual art, fashion, poetry and more—to explore how race, sexuality, gender, heritage, and history inform their work and their lives. RAGGA fosters an extended family that makes space for solidarity, celebration, and expression, with deep commitments to education and grassroots organizing.  #BIGUPUNNOSELF -
