TV PREMIERE TONIGHT!! A year ago today, I was preparing production schedules, I was fundraising, and I was getting my crew ready to embark on another year of filming a new season of the #BareFeetSeries.  Once March came, we all knew none of that was going to happen. 
*
But what did happen was nothing short of a miracle - we had filmed the Carnival celebrations in The Guadeloupe Islands a few years ago, waiting to edit that footage as an episode for this new Season 4.  When everything came to a halt due to COVID-19, we realized that within that footage, we had so many beautiful stories to fill TWO entire episodes!  I decided back in April that we would release these episodes in February, in celebration of Carnival Season and Black History Month.  And over the past 8 months, that drive to make these episodes happen grew even stronger; I realized it was more important than ever to get these stories out about Black joy, Black culture, and Black voices.
*
Tonight marks a monumental step in this very long journey - our #BareFeetCarnival 2-Part special premieres in New York on NYC Life (the very first station that ever aired Bare Feet back in 2014) and rolls out on pbs stations across the country throughout the rest of February!
*
Tune in TONIGHT at 10:30pm on NYC Life for the premiere of #BareFeetCarnival Part 1 of this 2-Part Special - and be sure to check your local listings for time and channel to catch these new episodes on your local PBS station (go to www.travelbarefeet.com to search by zip code - link in profile).
*
I want to thank the people of the Guadeloupe Islands for taking me right in and for sharing their beautifully rich culture with me - I hope I made you proud.  Without the support from guadeloupeislands, none of this would be possible, merci!  A massive thank you to my crew, to our presenting station madein_ny, to our distributor ampublictv, and to the generous supporters who helped fund this series, The Yuen Foundation and anguilla_tourism.
*
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth, and Happy Carnival, everyone!
