We’re Marching forward into Spring, here’s what’s new with Nurse Karen...

Random Newness: This month Nurse Karen is thrilled to conduct a series of artist interviews to assist artiste, Skinny Fabulous in completing his Honours Thesis on the development of the soca genre. Now that the International Soca Monarch competition is out of the way, Skinny has resumed his studies at UWI Mona in Jamaica.

Travel: After a hectic schedule in Trinidad, Karen is happy to spend the month of March at home in Toronto. If you missed the action in T&T, Karen put together some YouTube clips, to show you a little bit of what you missed.

Poetry: The February classroom schedule was insanely hectic, but very rewarding. Nurse Karen performed for hundreds of students at Brookview Middle School and Westview Secondary school. This month, she’s focusing on big people. Why don’t you see her perform live at one of these two stimulating events?:
