I am featured on the Caribbean Fashion Style Journal website in a new segment called,  “Island People Makin’ It Happen”. It’s a beautifully written article by the Editor Darcel de Vlugt which profiles  Caribbean people behind the scenes offering stories and advice for those wishing to pave their own way in the various fashion professions.

‘Kered Clement, is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Complexd magazine – an online bi-monthly magazine aimed at multicultural women whose beliefs, backgrounds, upbringing and ethnicities not only cross, but also blur, the lines of categorization. Complexd magazine is not for a specific minority, unlike so many others aimed at a particular ethnic group. This magazine brings all ‘minorities’ together with a range of topics that relate to each and every woman who identifies with more than one racial, ethnic group or culture due to her genetics or even due to her lifestyle, thereby making the minorities into a majority’.

‘Though raised, educated and currently residing in the UK, Kered – who returns to Grenada yearly – feels embraced by the Caribbean fashion industry for giving her the opportunity to build her network and show her skills as a professional and not ‘just another London art/fashion graduate’. What makes this venture even more admirable is that Kered has not pigeon-holed herself to represent the racial and cultural mix of the Caribbean alone. Complexd magazine, in the space of just one year, has gone truly global’.
