Near and Far with Neek: The next few clips are about our [Isaac, husband and camera man] trip to Key West and my great attempt to gather friends, family, artists and spirited folks to join my band of merry-makers to join us in Key West in June 2011. Traveling with me, Anike also know as Neek, can be strange, silly, socially responsible and a list of other adjectives. I have traveled from Baltimore to Bangkok and have decided to document my travels. Some of us in this world can travel somewhat carefree. However, even today being a person of color, a woman, gay, lesbian, handi-capable, or plain shy can sometimes make travel inconvenient or downright dangerous. Key West is a safe haven for weirdos and beach bums like me. Let's see why and then deal with the America that is not always so welcoming!
