A few years back I was got a cab from the city to JFK on my way back here. The driver was from Senegal and was really happy to talk West African music with me. Such a nice guy but seemed he had a lot of trouble connecting with American-born black neighbors in his Bronx neighborhood..different culture, religion, family lifestyles, etc etc. Hoped to save enough to retire back in Senegal but knew his wife and kids would never want to leave America... Really miss the diversity of NYC sometimes. Slowly diversifying here (VERY slowly) but still some encouraging signs.. AB, I love your New York Minutes.
