Vonulrick “Von” Martin has been described by his Caribbean colleagues as “another of the Caribbean’s finest exports to the broadcasting world … and his knowledge of world affairs and first-hand familiarity with the Caribbean and Latin America made him a special asset wherever he served.”

Von is celebrating 45 years as the creator and host of Caribbeana, a treasure trove of distinctly regional fare that has archived pivotal moments in Caribbean culture and history here at WPFW.  Throughout a long and distinguished career in radio, one of WPFW’s first broadcasters currently spends his time researching and presenting Caribbeana and providing training, entertainment and research services through Caribbeana Communications Incorporated (CCI).  He is 79 years old and married to his wife of 54 years, Brenda.  He has two successful children; Rick who worked with NBC and CNN and currently is the Director of Communications for Douglas County, Georgia, and Vonetta, who is a program manager for the State of Maryland in Human Services.  He also has two granddaughters, Natalie and Madeline.
