Obama X Saks X Blackwood

Jamaican-blooded handbag designer Brandon Blackwood was selected by The Obama Foundation and Saks to be part of their holiday window and fundraising efforts to support the Girls Opportunity Alliance (GOA), which seeks to continue Michelle Obama’s work of empowering adolescent girls around the world through education. With the purchase of a Brandon Blackwood bag, 100 per cent of the collection’s net proceeds from online sales on saks.com and at participating Saks Fifth Avenue stores will be donated to The Obama Foundation in support of the GOA through January 1, 2022.

Jamaican Housewife of Dubai

Word has it that luxury maternity brand owner of Mina Roe, and popular influencer Lesa Milan has begun filming for The Real Housewives of Dubai. Congrats, lady. We’re looking forward to tuning in and seeing the reunion with Andy.

Who you Jokin’ with?

The newest iconic villain to arrive on television’s Batwoman is none other than The Joker, who will be played by the Jamaican-rooted Nick Creegan. The actor will be the first man of colour to portray the notorious character, and we can’t wait to see the transformation.

Trans-Dazed

TransWave Jamaica teamed up with J-FLAG to bring two eras of activism to print with an editorial for the Dazed winter 21 publication, shot by Luca Khouri and styled by Emani Edwards.
