Karl B. Rodney and Faye A. Rodney founded the New York CARIB NEWS forty-one ago to fill a recognized void in communication of the growing
Caribbean- American community. CARIB NEWS was designed to provide consistent, timely, accurate, and reliable
information of the Caribbean region, and the Caribbean- American communities in the United States and has since grown into the largest circulated publication serving the Carib- bean-American community and beyond.
On the heels of the newspaper's success, the Rodney founded the CMBC conference to chart a path for business growth and development in the frontier markets where people of colour reside.
