This is a great opportunity for Marlon to bolster and spin-off what we started on my program,” stated Eddy Edwards, host of Caribbean Riddims.
Along with an occasional mix of musical entertainment, Caribbean Crossroads will address critical civic and political issues in local South Florida communities, monitor upcoming elections, and welcome special guests to discuss these issues and other important cultural and community trends.
Guests will provide a host of information geared towards awareness and guidance on some of the engaging topics and features. Listeners will also have an opportunity to call in and share thoughts and opinions on the topics and features of the day.
“The local Caribbean-American and urban communities are salivating for more information to better their quality of life and to become more engaged in their communities. This program presents an extraordinary opportunity and forum for me to magnify what I do on a daily basis as a lawyer and a community activist. I feel blessed that it is the right program, in the right place, and at the right crossroads in the maturity of our community, stated Marlon Hill, host of Caribbean Crossroads and attorney with the South Florida law firm of delancyhill, P.A.
