Background
We started in 2013, a group of concerned Barbadians led by Sandra Cutting, June Small Lashley and Gregory Chase got together to create an association that fairly represents their interest in this part of the Diaspora, and out of that meeting the Association was formed. On September 21, 2013, they met for the first time in Rogers Park, California and since that date have expanded from a small core group to over fifty members.
The mission of the BASC is to:
Support the presence, voice, and the culture of the Barbadian diaspora in Southern California. We promote cultural awareness and celebrate the rich heritage and history of Barbados and the Caribbean; We render humanitarian & educational assistance to our community both here locally and in Barbados, with a focus on the most vulnerable among us, persons with special needs and our youths with special dreams; those who are headed in the right direction and who are taking positive steps to improve their community.
