So honored to be asked by the Carnival Doctor – Rhadi Bullard Ferguson Phd
to give a quick interview about my carnival lifestyle for Trini Jungle
Juice. Rhadi is such a great guy, so
easy to talk to. I was just speaking
extra freely that afterwards I worried that I came off as an arrogant mad
oooman.
Rhadi asked if there was ever a time that I missed a
carnival that I was supposed to attend and my answer was flat out NO! Now there are circumstances that should have
had me missing carnival, but I wasn’t going to let that happen, carnival is my
life.
1)
I am in school at Georgia State University and
have been forever, I have had to drop
out because there were tests that conflicted with carnival and missing the
tests would have caused me to fail the class.
Yes DROPPED school vs. skipping carnival.
2)
When trying to decide on a wedding date my best
friend picked the weekend of Miami carnival.
Her wedding was in Jamaica, I told her I would fly in wedding morning
and fly out that very same night. I wouldn’t
dare ask her to change her wedding date, but 1 day away from carnival is all I
can give her. She ended up picking another date.
3)
My brother Paco said if his job ever told him
that he couldn’t take leave for carnival he would quit his job. His resume is a lot more impressive than mine
so I don’t know if I could go as far as to immediately quit. But I surely would start looking for a new
job in hopes that I found something that would allow me to still attend
carnival.
