Olympian Julien Alfred 🇱🇨didn’t feel the weight of what she’d done until she was completely alone — in a stadium tunnel, away from the cameras, away from the crowd.

That’s when history found her.

In our March 2026 cover story, Julien opens up about growing up in Saint Lucia, using sport as her ticket out of poverty, what it feels like to be told you’re not marketable because of where you’re from — and the message she has for every Caribbean girl who has ever been made to feel small.

“Take up space. Own who you are.” @julien.alfred

This is the kind of story we created CC Magazine to tell.

Some women wait for opportunities.
Others create history. @calibethompson

Calibe Thompson saw that Caribbean culture deserved a home — a place where stories, heritage, and voices could live forever.

So she built one. @islandspace

What began as a dream became the first Caribbean museum in America, preserving generations of culture and identity.

Proof that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is ask:

“What if we built our own?”

She looked for love on national TV. @nadiajagessar

It didn’t work out.

The world watched. The comments rolled in. The expectations were loud.

But love doesn’t follow production schedules.

By July, she met him. By October, she knew.

No drama. No spotlight. Just alignment.

As an Indo-Caribbean woman navigating public life, Nadia Jagessar’s journey reminds us of something powerful:
Carnival has a season. Your love story doesn’t.

Black HERstory • Rihanna says “We can only fix this world together.” @badgalriri

In her 2020 receipt of the @naacp President Award she talks about why she started @claralionelfdn and the work still need to do to reach true equality.

@badgalriri 🇧🇧

It’s just a “black people,” “women’s,” or “their” problem. It affects all of us.

From music to mogul — she doesn’t just highlight the culture… she’s shifting it. 🤎
