Cape Caribbean, LLC

Firm Principal Vera Baker spends her time between the office in Fort de France, Martinique and the office Miami, Florida. She is an avid traveler, having visited 17 countries on 5 continents, muli-lingual (English and French) and an occasional free lance writer.

Prior to launching Cape Caribbean, Ms. Baker worked for Alta Capital Group-a full-service municipal bond broker-deal. She joined Alta Capital Group after serving as a Principal at Baker-Wambu & Associates, a strategic political and fundraising consulting firm based in Washington, DC. Previously, she served as the National Finance Director on Senator Barack Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign. She also served as the Deputy Political Director at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Born and raised in San Francisco, CA, Ms. Baker received her dual Bachelor degrees in Political, Legal, and Economic Analysis and African American Studies from Mills College. She worked toward a Master of Art in Political Science from Howard University and a Masters of Art in African American studies.American studies from Columbia.


African American professionals can build prosperous careers in the capital city, especially those hoping to play a role in national politics. "There's a mentality here that there's enough for everyone; you're not competing for what feels like a limited number of opportunities," says 29-year-old Muthoni Wambu.

Like most Washingtonians, Wambu is a transplant. She left New York City's Upper West Side to study journalism at Howard University and then networked her way into a political fundraising job with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. This was a new aspect of politics for Wambu, who soon discovered that it "brought together my strengths in a way that I'd never anticipated."

In 2000, Wambu and Vera Baker, another Howard alum, started Baker-Wambu & Associates. The firm has raised over $3 million for the campaigns of members of Congress and other politicians. "Washington is the best place for our firm to blossom and grow, and one of the only cities where two 24-year-old African American women [could have built a successful business] with pennies and a dream," she says.

No, I disagree, I think he’s been playin’ with Larry’s kind.

Vera is just a teaser to throw the folks off the Chicago limo ‘down-low’ trail.

Why so upset? Muslims may have more than one wife and Michelle Ma Belle had better get used to it.

Not surprising, 0bama Sr could not keep it in his pants either. 8+ children with 4+ different women. Seems to me like it runs in the family....

The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. ;)

Wouldn't the Dem response to this, if it were true, be McCain's own marital indiscretions when he met Cindy?

The people who didn’t care about Clinton’s affairs will not care about Obama’s.

I think the undecided voters may care. Turning the brainwashed Obama supporters will not happen. The PUMA's will care if it makes a difference to push it. They are pizzed that Obama was ushered in ahead of her through shady caucus tactics.

I am not sure where or when the photo was taken. It was posted by another FReeper two or so weeks ago and I saved it.

I think Michelle is filled with such hatred because she’s made to dress like a 1950s white woman.

I mean, come on. Look at the pearls and the hair flip.

This could be big breaking news as the Money laundering industry is alive and well in Martinique.

The Secret Service and the FBI and the FEC should be on this issue big time as if you do a Google search you will find that Martinque is one of Only two Caribbean countries that remain on the roster of countries blacklisted because of their lax stance toward money-laundering

What is Vera's Business raising funds. Easy to do it thru the internet and by credit cards from anywhere in the world. This coud be very big Notice that Vera's web site is hosted by Go-Daddy. Isn't that a Obama supporter.

I wonder if she has ties to George Soros?
