Dwayne Huggins

I’m a soca loving, whiskey drinking, picture taking, storytelling, carnivalholic who captures what I come across on the scene and in life and displays it for all to see. My aim is to #pushdesocaglobal. One day I’m going to write a book. Until that day you will have to make do with what I write here.
