It was a very cold day when Ozzie Stewart, “Headliner on C-Suite Radio” sat with a very warm Colin Williams for ON THE CALL, an award-winning talented photographer, who was born as a twin in Trinidad and Tobago and raised in the vibrant urban landscape of New York City. His parents, Noel and Eastlyn Williams, instilled in him a strong sense of identity and connection to his Caribbean roots, with deep familial ties to Trinidad, tracing lineage back to his great-grandfather Paul Williams, who immigrated from Martinique to Trinidad and was pivotal in the cultural movement known as the #SoulBoys Growing up.
