Caribbean RIDDIMZ is a Peppy Entertainment & Promotions signature event!
Special Garvey Tribute held on Friday, August 15 2008!
..
On November 15, 2009, we will celebrate 4 years of bringing the DMV area DC's monthly networking social for the mature professional. Thanks to all of you who have supported out throughout this time. Know that we appreciate each and everyone of you and could not make it without your involvement!
We have done much more than just provide a forum for folks to network, expose their skill sets, listen to good music, and really connect. We have done a lot of community service and have helped people like the seniors at Springvale Terrace Seniors Home by donating over 60 cans of food for their Thanksgiving; we have donated many suitcases of clothes, shoes, and items to people who live in this area, and in Jamaica; we have helped the youth ghetto understand that they can be more than what they think by just expressing their artistic talents; and we have done a lot in general to edify the community we serve.
We invite you to work with us to keep this movement going. All it requires is you love for self and others - the rest will fall into place.

Created by Rosie "Peppy" Parke, Caribbean RIDDIMZ exists to provide an avenue for mature, professionals to connect, network, and have fun while not losing sight of the important social issues which affect the BLACK community!
The first two Caribbean RIDDIMZ were held at the beautiful VIDA in DC, and other events were held around the MD/DC Area. Venues such as Pearl and Juste Lounge have been part-time homes for RIDDIMZ.
Sky Club (Zanzibar on the Waterfront) - famous for its magnificent harbor view and elegant ambience has been the home of RIDDIMZ since June 15, 2006. For 2008, Caribbean RIDDIMZ will be moving around to get you in tune with some beautiful venues in the DMV. Look out for events at LIV, Momos, and many other spectacular venues!!
At Caribbean RIDDIMZ, you can expect to be entertained, and educated, and many times you are also empowered! This is truly networking at its best, so come on through and connect with some wonderful folks who are doing great things in the Community.
We make it extra special by featuring performances from fresh, hot, and emerging talents in the DC Metro Area, and we are constantly on the lookout for people with star quality. Come and support some local and independent artists, as we need to help each other in any and every way we can.
Artists who have graced the RIDDIMZ Stage include: Talk of the Town Band, Cheryl Gilbreath, Proverbs Reggae Band, Brandon Best, Mr. Carter, Cherri Poet, Summer Angel, Green Tea, Lady Wisdom, Nferno, Black Culture, Mystic Man, Kim Bey, Reign, The Poetry Man, Anita Boyd, Naima Jahmaal, Komplex, Lamont Carey, Reign, Lady Flame, Stanice Anderson, Beny Blaq, Cordell Wright, Bambu Station, Kuku, Shoota, and Rod Stapleton featuring Miss Peaches, Lala, Ebony Jackson, Everton Collins and the Mission Band, Dappa Dutchie, and Loriel Starr.

Our ultimate goal is to have a forum for professionals to build networks, support each other's businesses, support black businesses, and create the kind of unity that our forefathers like Marcus Garvey fought for - we want to create a race that is so connected that when any of us speak, we speak with one VOICE!!!!
Soooo, now that you have digested all of that and have a little step in the door of Caribbean RIDDIMZ, make a bigger step and come to a place where CULTURES CONNECT!!! Mix and mingle with beautiful, talented, and intelligent people, enjoy FREE Caribbean food, dance to great music, be entertained and educated, and NETWORK!! So, you should know that at Caribbean RIDDIMZ we foster networking. We support each other, and we PROMOTE each other. If YOU have an event or a business that you want out there, link Peppy at peppypromotions@gmail.com and I will hook you up...
We collaborate with other promoters, business owners, and individuals who understand that helping each other out is our duty, so you will see us plugging certain events, and people, and talents!! Don't YOU want to be plugged too??? That, my friends, is the QUESTION OF THE DAY.
