Revered by her peers as a go-getter and master strategist, Tameka Chevannes, has used her role as a public relations and marketing consultant to move roadblocks for several entertainers over the past decade. She established her company, ZaZa Communications as an ode to Dasrick ‘ZaZa’ Chevannes, her brother who died in a motor vehicle accident in 1997. “My brother’s creative spirit motivated me to take the next step and I wanted to keep his legacy alive,” she explains.
Through her company, Chevannes has worked on campaigns for the likes of Mr Vegas, Junior Kelly, Anthony Cruz, Junior Holt, Bamm Holt, Sista Sasha, Konshens, IWaata, Intence and Pressure Busspipe, among others. She shares, “I realised the importance of investing in the entertainment industry early, and in wanting to market, motivate, inspire, and build the culture and brand of Jamaica I decided to create a hub which could.”
Leading a career in the fashion industry, Miqueal-Symone Williams has been in the eyes of the public for a few years. From magazines to international runways, her experiences in the spotlight have helped reinforce the values her parents instilled in her. The new Miss Universe Jamaica has many disarming qualities; the most obvious is her striking figure. She stands at 5’ 10” – a fact she says made her father consider having her pursue a career path as an athlete – and her eyes appear to stare into a person’s soul. But most talked about since she claimed the crown at the recent Miss Universe Jamaica (MUJ) pageant is her dynamic presence. Her initial experience competing in the pageant three years ago meant she was exposed to the criteria and returned in 2020 with a mission to win.
