Music is powerful! Soca my drug of choice! My name won’t ring a bell to many, as I am better known as the one who is always smiling and bouncing around to whatever type of music is playing. I enjoy learning about different cultures, especially that of the African Diaspora. Comparing and contrasting our experiences is always humbling as the similarities are always greater despite how many miles apart one resides. Growing up in Southern Belize laid the foundation for my respect and appreciation of culture and history. I was introduced to carnival as a teenager. I played mas for a few years and even lead a kiddie carnival group in my hometown for a couple years. However, I was always curious about the details of what happens behind the scenes on a larger scale. Desiring to learn more about what it entails to bring to life what I experienced on carnival day, thankfully, led me to Vibez and Vision. The flags of all the countries proudly on display, the creativity exhibited through the colorful costumes and music never ceases to amaze. You can find me working behind the scenes as I enjoy helping others and believe in quality over quantity! See you on the road!
