About Islandista

island ~ ista

From Latin -ista via Portuguese -ista: one who follows a principle; an adept.

Or as we put it – islandistas live, embody, exude the spirit of the Caribbean islands and mainlands.

We have a passion for the best and most sophisticated elements of our Caribbean lifestyle.

Islandistas are Caribbean females or females who are proudly of Caribbean descent.

Islandistas are young or young at heart, independent, ambitious, career-minded, well-educated and travelled.

We have a deep and abiding love and appreciation of Caribbean culture and style.

True to the spirit of the Caribbean, islandistas still know how to play as hard as we work which is why you can find us anywhere from  carnival bands to cricket matches to corporate boardrooms.

The whole Caribbean and its diasporas are our homes and our playgrounds.

This blog is meant to cater to the interests of such fascinating, fabulous and diverse women, wherever they are in the world.

Islandista is a blog with a focus on Caribbean fashion, style, culture, entertainment and women’s issues. We delight in the success of our Caribbean sisters, hence we profile and highlight their achievements.

We recognise that the migratory habits of our people mean that islandistas can be found all over the globe, from Spain to Port-of-Spain and Castries to Canada. Hence, we do not just restrict our coverage to women living in the Caribbean, but highlight women of Caribbean descent who live or were even born outside of the region, as well.

With a monthly readership of over 20, 000 and growing, Islandista is the blog for women of the Caribbean.
