Description:

With Caribbean American Heritage Month just around the corner, we thought we'd join in the fun! Come see us at Busboys and Poets Takoma on June 1st to learn about the Cuban community in DC! 

What is Humanitini?

Humanitini is an exciting happy hour event where Washington's movers, shakers, and creators come together to think and drink. It is a place for you to engage with your peers, meet your neighbors, and speak with experts about what makes our city a unique place to live and play.

This Month: The Cuban Presence in DC

In December 2014, President Barack Obama, Jr. announced an historic opening of American relations with Cuba. Cuban ties to the District of Columbia long pre-date that announcement. Let’s explore the Cuban cultural influences on DC – in terms of music, dance, food, and religion – with a panel of Cuban Americans who have lived in the area all of their lives.
