In ‘The Rebelution has Begun’ we interview Tanya Stephens who Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley describes “Tanya Stephens is a true Caribbean genius. If we understand that the challenge of our generation is the liberation of the mind, then she is to our generation what George Lamming, Wilson Harris and the great Caribbean writers of the 50s and 60s were to the people of the region!” Here we catch up with the Dancehall Diva in an illuminating one on one.
Also in this issue is an interview with Adam Stewart the recently appointed CEO of Sandals Resorts. The 26 year old son of Caribbean entrepreneur extraordinaire Butch Stewart takes the reins of the resort empire and discusses the company’s plans as it develops itself as a fully-blown luxury brand.
Also inside is the first of the ‘woman of influence’ columns which recognize Caribbean women for their accomplishments across various fields of endeavor. This issue features Lisa Ghany-Weeks of Trinidad’s HCL Group (part of Lawrence Duprey’s CL Financial empire) and Novia Mcdonald-Whyte Lifestyle Editor of the Jamaica Observer and maven of all things fashionable from her Kingston perch.
In Momentos de Oro the magazine continues to raise the bar with a fashion editorial that could just as easily be found in Italian Vogue. Shot in the decaying but still impressive architecture of Old Havana, photographer Dagmara brings haute couture to life in this stunning editorial.
This issue captures the charismatic Caribbean from Cuba, through Jamaica, along to Barbados and then Tobago where photographer Colin Williams showcases high fashion in and around this island paradise.
