10 Developments of the decade
It was a Decade of Ups and Downs (or Downs and Ups, depending on where you’re looking from) for the Caribbean. Coups and disasters killed Haiti, hurricanes set Cuba back a decade — and new terms of World Trade killed the value of regional rice and bananas exports. But while it was the Decade of the Dive for West Indies Cricket, it was the Decade of the Divas for West Indian women cricketers and Caribbean beauties.
The Caribbean set foot on many steps on the international stage. Caribbean persons entered premier portals in world politics, ranging from Haiti’s Governor General of Canada and Dominica’s and Guyana’s Baronesses in successive UK Cabinets, to St Lucia’s President of `the United Nations General Assembly and a US Attorney General with Bajan blood. And then came Rhianna, stepping boldly and heavily onto the entertainment stage.

SHE unlocks the secrets of Leah’s crazy, sexy and cool in an exclusive interview in St Lucia where she was shot in St Lucia’s paradise, Stonefield Estate.

BEYONCé KNOWLES
She was twenty-five and sitting pretty, atop her sophomore solo success “B’day” when SHE Caribbean featured Beyonce as our cover girl in the May/June issue of 2007. Now, three successful solo albums later, movie roles and several awards, including sixteen Grammy nods, seven as a solo act and six just this year alone, Beyonce returns to the Caribbean. It was the place where she chose to sign off on her final Destiny’s Child concert, (Jamaica’s Sumfest in 2003) and the place where she would end her mega successful “I am… world tour.” SHE Caribbean’s Toni Nicholas took in the new Queen of Pop’s last concert hurrah in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
