Beautiful Island Women of NYC
Beautiful island women of NYC,
I knew that NYC was super multicultural and full of so many different beautiful women. I went on a mission to find different beautiful island women that have been raised in the city.
I was blessed to meet a group of women from all different areas of the city, from all different island backgrounds. Was inspiring to see these women still hold there island hearts through the big city, and shine in their strong melanin sunshine, and that can express themselves, through Akoia.
Let me introduce you the women that now have all become a apart of our journey,
