NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL UK Five years later in 2008, I left corporate America to pursue my dream full time. It was at the point when I decided it was best for TJJ to specialize in Carnival after establishing ourselves in every major city we targeted across the globe. We then achieved yet another ‘First’ in our market; becoming the 1st Caribbean website to have our own television production – “You, TJJ and Carnival” in 2009. The show airs locally in Trinidad & Tobago with past seasons airing throughout the Caribbean and in the US (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut). When I look back today where it started, sometimes I don’t believe how far the website (and myself as a person) has grown.
