The Mind and Body issue of Island Origins celebrates some of South Florida’s most exceptional Caribbean women among other stories highlighting both inward and outward self expression. In our cover story, Neki Mohan, Visit Lauderdale’s new vice president of multicultural business and community engagement, talks humble beginnings, taking a leap of faith and pursuing new possibilities after her life was turned upside down. The issue also digs into the life experiences of Chinese Caribbeans, the anticipated comeback of rude boy style, island-inspired design in Canadian suburbs, fashion used as way to teach traditional Puerto Rican symbolism and how prevalent stereotypes are within the Caribbean, especially when it comes to women's bodies and the pursuit of perfection, both naturally and medically assisted, among other thought-provoking stories.
