A 43-year-old Markham woman who was murdered in Jamaica last week is being remembered by her friends as a loving person who championed her Caribbean culture.
Tashia Antoine described her god-sister and friend Latoya Alcindor as a vibrant person, a caring mother to her two daughters, and a prominent member of the Caribbean community in the Toronto area.
"She was seen as a cultural ambassador, where she promoted Caribbean culture to Toronto and the world," Antoine said in an interview with CTV News.
"She promoted Caribbean culture her entire life, and she was always a part of the Caribana parade since she was a young child."
