The Jabari Show

Katie worked at a bank with a dance career as her plan B until a former teacher stopped her one day and asked what her legs were doing behind a counter. She talks about training in New York, the sub class that accidentally introduced her to heels, coming home to teach it when nobody in Trinidad was, and the backlash that followed. Why a professional dancer keeps her house completely silent, what four hours of staring at a chair looks like and the difference between sensuality and sleaziness. Underneath it all, it's about building something for women in a place that wasn't asking for it.Follow Us:Katie C :Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiec2102/?hl=enTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katiec2102Youtube:  @KatieC2102  HeelingQueens :Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/heelingqueens/?hl=enThe Jabari Show Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejabarishowTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejabarishow_Jabari MInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jabari_matthewTwitter: https://twitter.com/jibrimatthewYouTube: @jabarimatthew4638 Jabari DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jabaridavid/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jabaridavid_YouTube: @jabaridaviid 0:00 – Intro: wearing green on a green couch2:47 – TikTok vs Instagram and being authentic online4:32 – Meet Katie5:12 – Catherine or Katie?

hi

Carnival week was chaos from the J’ouvert paint that wouldn’t wash off to getting media passes, last-minute tickets, and walking what felt like 70,000 steps. We break down the events, the recovery, and what really happens during (and after) Carnival in Trinidad.Follow Us: The Jabari Show Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejabarishowTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejabarishow_Jabari M:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jabari_matthewTwitter: https://twitter.com/jibrimatthewJabari DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jabaridavid/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jabaridavid_Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jabaridavid_

We know that we have been inconsistent but this is the year that we record more than we have before and really give this thing a push.
