CCCA Board Members

Karen Reid-Williams was born and raised in Spanish Town, Jamaica. In 1988, Karen moved to Fresno, California, where she met her husband Jerry, with whom she has two sons, Jay and Hurschel. Karen's CCCA journey began when she was introduced to CCCA by her mother, Cislyn Blackwood, who is a part of the first generation of CCCA members. Her love for promoting Caribbean community education led her to coordinate the CCCA Silent Auction, with all the proceeds benefitting CCCA's scholarships. Karen's vision for CCCA is to continue to educate and celebrate the strength of the shared and diverse aspects of our culture, heritage, and communities.
