As a passionate advocate for Caribbean culture, I seized the opportunity to pitch an article to Teen Vogue for Caribbean Heritage Month. My piece celebrated my beloved home, the Virgin Islands, and explored the significance of mariner link jewelry in our unique style and heritage.

To my immense delight, my pitch was accepted, and I had the honor of becoming a published journalist. The experience was incredibly fulfilling, as it allowed me to share my love for Caribbean culture with a wider audience and contribute to important conversations about representation and diversity in media.
