Meet Coco!

I am pleased as punch to announce that Coco Kelley, a past contributor on OneBrownGirl.com's Brown Girl World, has accepted the position of Camp Counselor & Education Assistant at CampCaribe! Wooo hoooooo! (We'll get a current photo of her on the blog real soon.) Coco, who works for the Oakland Unified School District (as a teaching assistant while she completes her Master's in Education) is a California native who learned to swim at an early age. A natural athlete, Coco played volleyball starting at 12 years old and earned a college volleyball scholarship at California State University, Sacramento. As a young girl, Coco went to horseback riding camp, science camp and, of course, volleyball camp. For the last 7 years, Coco has been part of an all women's Sabar drum group and spends most of her spare time in a West African, Congolese, Haitian, and/or Cuban dance or drum class. Coco will facilitate danciing, volleyball and be in charge of any homework at CampCaribe. And now that CampCaribe has its staff in place, we can really get this party started! Welcome, Coco...
