I want share the Caribbean side of my state. It’s so surprising to learn how we could live so close to each other, yet my experience in Connecticut is so wildly different from others’.

Consisting of over 700 islands and 26 countries, the Caribbean is the source of the U.S.’s earliest and largest Black immigrant group. Today, many Caribbean people can be found all over the country working in a wide range of occupations. In 2017, 4.4 million Caribbean immigrants, about 10 percent of the nation’s 44.5 million immigrants, resided in the United States, and nearly 487,000 immigrants had come to live in Connecticut.
