OKAY BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT for a second 👀🇭🇹 This woman sings in FOUR languages and every single one hits different: English. French. Haitian Creole. Spanish. Not because she has to but because every part of her story deserves to be told in its own voice
Haitian-American. Boston raised. Completely in a lane of her own, her sound is soul meets R&B meets Afro-Caribbean rhythms meets something you genuinely cannot put a label on, and honestly? You just need to hear it for yourself
Zama writes about identity. resilience. growth. the messy beautiful in-between moments that make us who we are and when she performs it feels like she’s singing YOUR story back to you.

Look at this beauty. 🌿🐚✨
When curating this quarter’s box, we wanted to honor not just the culture of Trinidad and Tobago but the stunning waters that surround it. Because these two islands don’t just sit in the Caribbean. They sit at one of the most extraordinary marine crossroads on the planet.
Trinidad’s north coast borders the Caribbean Sea while its east coast meets the Atlantic Ocean and at the northeastern tip of the island, in a place called Toco, you can actually stand at the point where both bodies of water meet. 🤯 Two oceans. One shore. That’s Trinidad.
Add to that the Gulf of Paria, the Columbus Channel, and the powerful currents from two of the world’s greatest rivers : the Amazon and the Orinoco ,flowing into the surrounding waters, and you have one of the most ecologically rich and complex marine environments anywhere on Earth.
And beneath those waters? Something ancient and extraordinary. Off the northeast coast of Tobago, near the island of Little Tobago, sits one of the largest boulder brain corals in the entire Western Hemisphere : an estimated five metres across and three metres high. 🧠🪸 Growing at just one centimetre per year, this coral has been building itself for over 200 years quietly thriving while empires rose and fell, while music was born and spread across the world. There’s something humbling about that.
Coral reefs surround much of Tobago, and five species of sea turtle navigate these waters including the leatherback, one of the oldest creatures on Earth. 🐢
The woven bag, the shells, the stones, the pearls in this box , all of it was chosen to echo those waters. The texture of the ocean floor. The color of sea glass. The quiet magic of what lives beneath the surface. 🌺🐚 And the jewelry? Each piece was thoughtfully chosen to honor the waves themselves : the warm, turquoise roll of the Caribbean Sea and the deep, powerful surge of the Atlantic Ocean. Two very different energies. Both breathtaking. Both Trinidad and Tobago. 💙🌊
Trinidad and Tobago is a feast for the ears. But for the eyes? It’s just as breathtaking. 🌊✨
