Having lived in Grenada for a year, we as Peace Corps volunteers have learned that it's no big thing to be on TV here, since Grenada is a pretty small island and there's bound to be media coverage at most of the community events we attend. Well I'm not gonna lie, I still think it's pretty great when my neighbors or friends tell me they saw me on TV the night before.
But on a larger scale...
One of my close Grenadian friends named Lisa just spent the summer in New York with her extended family (ironically there are more Grenadians in New York than here on the island). Since they missed out on Carnival this year, they found a Grenada Carnival 2008 DVD somewhere on the streets and bought it to feel connected to the action. Well she just called me and it turns out...me and my friends are on it...dancing in the streets front and center! She said she started screaming and pointing at the TV screen, yelling "I know those white people! That's my friend Rachel!"
