Storyteller, That’s Who She Is!

  • Summary

  • Welcome to the 11th episode of my legacy project, Urban Lifestyle Report Podcast and I'm your host Carolyn Morris-Walker. I am filled with joy to have Grace Cameron, the Editor-In-Chief of JamaicanEats Magazine that she created and launched in 2006, 14 years ago, as my guests on this platform that exemplifies BlackNificence & Black Excellence in our community.

    Urban Lifestyle Report is a place and space to showcase the many talents of Black and African people who are often invisible, not acknowledged and not celebrated in popular media for their talents, achievements and accomplishments that contributes positively to the community and the world at large.

    Grace Cameron is a communications strategist who is experienced in driving conversation and engagement through a variety of formats that appeal to audiences with a range of interests. Using words, images and clever designs, she helps organizations tell stories meaningful to their customers; inspire and engage audiences. She is a storyteller who has worked in an array of roles across Canada and Jamaica.

    Grace is a phenomenal woman who had a vision to launch JamicanEats magazine that would satisfy a niche that catered to people with an interest in Caribbean food and culture. Once this idea came to mind it only took 9 months for her dream to become a reality. Her creative mind set has also launched other initiatives such as Pop Up Caribbean Food Markets, a cookbook published in 2016 titled, 10 Reasons Why Jamaicans Runs So Fast, and a colouring book for adults and they are all available on Amazon. And if that not enough in 2012 she was selected as one of the Top 50 Jamaicans in Canada during the celebrations of Jamaica’s 50th Independence.

    She has held many roles that include being the lifestyle editor for the Jamaica Gleaner newspaper and was recognized by Society for News Design in Miami and given an Award of Excellence for revamping the Food section of the Jamaica Gleaner newspaper. Her other roles have been as a journalism lecturer for the University of the West Indies and Northern Caribbean University, a freelancer as a workshop presenter and partnered with Caribbean Legal & Professional Institute Limited to deliver How to be Media Savvy and Speak Up! The Art of Conversation workshops. In Toronto and Vancouver, she has worked as a content coordinator, a copywriter and freelance researcher and writer.

    So, I am delighted when I meet people in my community who are doing amazing and outstanding work in a plethora of areas as educators, creatives, influencers, game changers, entrepreneurs, innovators, artists, founders, investors change makers, who are igniting, building and transforming our community in a variety of ways and in so many arenas. They are engaging in these activities full-time, part-time, as a side hustle and making their passions and visions come to life. I believe the community needs to hear about YOU!

    So, tune-in and enjoy the conversation!
