Connek mentioned in the Jamaica Gleaner!

To be recognized by press in foreign is a signal of the brilliance that is Jamaicans talent but to be highlighted locally is HUGE. It just hits different. The @jamaicagleaner covered @diotima.world ‘s beautiful collection, collaboration with @emanithegenderlessstylist @shaunak_avoir_blessings and mentioned how this tie sprung from Connek! We are honored and so thankful @diotima.world 🥺❤️. Link in bio. // #Rp@diotima.world : A fashion ode to the Caribbean

“She met model and trans-fashion activist @emanithegenderlessstylist , Emani Edwards and make-up artist @shaunak_avoir_blessings at a dinner in New York hosted by DeVonn Francis for @connekja, which is run by @1emmanuel and @neonchristina to connect Jamaicans and Caribbeans in the diaspora back to their home, and knew Edwards and Avoir would be a great addition for the shoot. “Whatever I can do to put forth a new vision of the Caribbean, and working with people from the Caribbean, that is important to me,” says Scott. “We need everyone represented.” Repost from @jamaicagleaner
