Every year I say I’m gonna do something for Halloween but it never happens. Growing up in the Caribbean we never trick or treated or dressed up or anything, so it’s just not in me. Also I think it’s too close to my birthday, so I’m always more focused on what I’ll do for my bday!
If you’re like me and you don’t really go all out for Halloween but you still want to do a little something. I have some suggestions for you! Continue Reading…
I recently participated in a portrait session for the not for profit anti-human trafficking organization Free-Them. I first learned about Free-them after covering one of their events when I was still at CP24. I was really taken aback to hear about the atrocities happening in Canada and around the world. There are something like 29.8 million people in slavery today as a result of human trafficking. Continue Reading…
So I may have lied to you. Remember when I did a post about my favourite costumes for Caribana this year? In that post I mentioned I would not be playing this year. But guess what….I ended up in a costume on parade day! Continue Reading…
Y’all I went IN on the carnival content this year! I’ve been contributing to CBC life for a few months now and this was my favourite article so far. It was actually a very popular post…top 4 post across all of CBC.ca! A great signal that people are looking for content that speaks to diverse communities. Continue Reading…

Sometimes I take pictures…(and by I, I mean my amazing husband) and completely forget about them. This was earlier this summer hence the jacket. But I think it still works for a summer evening dinner or whatever.
I really love orange and blue colour combos. Trying to do more of it. I incorporated some African and Caribbean touches into this look. Continue Reading…
I’m really enjoying all the recent opportunities to talk about the things that I’m passionate about. Namely beauty, fashion, self-employment & culture.
Our radio show Kultur’D aired its fourth episode on Saturday. Can not believe we’ve done so many episodes already! So far we’ve been lucky enough to interview reality star and body positivity activist Roxy Earle, comedian/actress Neelu Handa and Director X to name a very few. Continue Reading…
I was a weather broadcaster for many years so I’m very much aware of the sun’s strength, UV index and all of that. Saying “slather on that sunscreen” was a regular part of the weather vernacular. Even though I always wear sunscreen (albeit not enough in the winter) I have a love hate relationship with it. For two reasons. I hate the mousey, grey skin look that I get after using most sunscreens. Black and brown toned people know what I’m talking about. I’m not trying to look like a jumbie! Also I always hesitate putting sunscreen on my face for fear of having a break-out.
Got lots of love from y’all on this Ankara print dress from OMI WOODS. I’ve featured the Canadian line on my blog many times before. They call it this gem the LUPITA DRESS. It comes in two prints. Makes me feel like a queen when I wear it! Sharing a few more views of this dress and details below on how to get it!
