Chat 'Bout Cleveland's overall mission is to: connect Cleveland's online community with Caribbean based businesses and services. "It is our hope to bring a sense of community with the site by encouraging patronage to these Caribbean businesses in the Cleveland area", says Andrea "Drue" Thompson, publisher and editor. "The sole purpose of Chat 'Bout Cleveland is to get the community 'on the same page' so to speak - to create an awareness of these business and events for the people in Cleveland as well as those who visit Cleveland."
To compliment Cleveland's strong Caribbean community, the website will also serve as an opportunity to bring the community presence to the forefront. "We want the Caribbean community in Cleveland to be showcased with the same caliber as other cities with strong on-line communities such as chicagoreggae.com, detroitreggae.com, and pittsburghreggae.net, which have been quite successful." says Tanya Richburg, Editor at Large. "Chat 'Bout Cleveland is confident Cleveland's Caribbean community will join the forefront as well."
