For the depth, the richness, the stories shaped
far from home, but never disconnected from it.
Coconut for the Caribbean.
For the warmth, the ease, the softness of island
life.

Founder & Editor
I created Cocoa & Coconut to build the kind of Caribbean publication I longed to see — thoughtful, beautiful, culturally rooted and expansive.
Through journalism, storytelling and community, I want this space to honour Caribbean women and the stories too often overlooked.
Favourite island indulgence I could have forever?
Saltfish and johnny cakes… without question.
