Metropolitan Culture Corner: Karen Holladay

This month on the Metropolitan Culture Corner, we interview world traveler, activist and president of the Barcelona Women’s Network, Karen Holladay. She is also a strong supporter of non-profit organizations in both Spain and on the African continent. 

Born in the UK, Karen has lived in the Barcelona neighborhood of Poble-sec for the past 27 years and is a familiar face at the American Society of Barcelona. She has a passion for traveling the world, a passion for helping people, and she continually finds ways to give back to and inspire the local community.

Last month, on the thirtieth episode of the Metropolitan Culture Corner, we interviewed radio presenter, writer and educator Lucas Avram Cavazos. Lucas moved from Brooklyn to Barcelona 14 years ago, and since then has become a recognizable figure in both the entertainment world and education circles. He is the presenter of English-language radio program The Club with Lucas on RCE (formerly Radio Kanal Barcelona). He is also the head of studies at the New Britannia School of English, and tutors university students and professionals in English for business.
