Hey y’all. Did you miss our May mamalime YouTube chat? Well never fear, RACA is hear with the latest ep of Caribbean Mom Chat.
This month, in addition to the usual characters, we had a guest, Nicole (@NicSGreene on Twitter) from the blog WhenDidIBecomeMyMom.com, coming at us straight from Trinidad. We covered all things pop culture and how it informs/effects our parenting. From ratchet TV, Miley Cyrus and raunchy music (Caribbean and American) to Rihanna’s nekkidness, the Trini mom who beat her child on Facebook and, of course, Jay, Bey & Solange’s elevator fisticuffs.
Yeah. This was a good one. So no more talk from me. Let’s get into the lime. Mamalime that is!
