Tampa's African- American Caribbean Community
Tampa's Caribbean Community is rich in diversity and includes African, British, Chinese, Dutch, European, French, Indian, Portuguese and Spanish nationalities just to name a few.
An estimated 60,000 Caribbean-Americans are domiciled in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties alone, not including the rest of the Tampa Bay region. This influx of shared cultures makes a major and long-lasting impact on the Tampa Bay community and its subsequent lifestyles.
