That meant we always caught up with each other every evening \u2013 what was happening in school, what was happening with our parents, what was happening teenagers, it was really really valuable. Of course I grew up Catholic, so going to church was a very regular experience for us, every Sunday. So, things like that \u2013 whether it\u2019s church or whether it\u2019s dinner or whatever it is, I think regularized and very focused time spent together was very important.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Socamom:<\/strong> What are one or two [pieces of] advice that you can give to a mom or a dad who lives in America that wants to make sure that their kids stay connected to culture?<\/p>\n<p><strong>William \u201cBunny Rugs\u201d Clarke:<\/strong> I think that they should expose them to what they were exposed to. As far as food is concerned, I think they should introduce them to the Caribbean type of eating. Constantly remind them of who you are, and where you\u2019re from, and how it took a journey to make that transition here, so that they could have a better life or a better future\u2026. more access to education. \u00a0I think that by showing them that they\u2019ll appreciate it much more, and probably [be] much more cooperative to mom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Socamom: <\/strong>You are now a fashion icon.\u00a0 With Carnival \u00a0and so many things in Trinidad that are very creative, how would you suggest to inspire children to go [in] your direction?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anya Ayoung-Chee: <\/strong>I think there are many ways, but when you speak about Carnival specifically, it\u2019s really fantastic to do Kiddies Carnival.\u00a0 Kiddies Carnival gives you the opportunity to play mas in a setting that is very safe, and at the same time very expressive.\u00a0 In fact, Kiddies Carnival is way more expressive to me than a lot of grown up mas.\u00a0 It\u2019s an opportunity to really know what it feels like to not only creat a costume, because often times you do create your own costume, but also to feel what it feels like to wear something you\u2019ve made and to know what that means \u2013 to create and [have the] experience all at once \u2013 Carnival really creates that opportunity for us.<\/p>\n<p>No Kiddies Carnival?
