It started with a rhythm. A pulse in a song. The sound of Grenada found its way to Jawanna Ellis through the speakers — and straight into her soul. Today, many know her as Ms. Jouvert, a vibrant personality in the Caribbean carnival scene and a trusted voice for anyone seeking real insight into Caribbean culture, events, and of course — vibes. But long before the followers and festival invites, there was just a girl falling in love with an island she hadn’t yet stepped foot on. “Grenada Feels Like Home — Even When I’m Not There” “I first learned of Grenada through music,” Jawanna explains. “As I began listening to more soca, I found myself drawn to the songs that came out of Grenada. From there, my love for the island and its culture just grew.” Over the last 10 years, she’s traveled back and forth so many times she’s lost count. But ask her what keeps her going back, and her answer is beautifully simple: “It’s hard to explain — it’s more of a feeling. When I’m in Grenada, or even just around Grenadians, it feels like home.” She speaks with deep appreciation for the pride Grenadians carry, the richness of their culture, the strength of their history, and the joy that seems to live in the air itself. A Social Media Journey Rooted in Culture Like most people, Jawanna’s social media journey began casually — sharing photos, connecting with friends. But as she started attending Caribbean events, fetes, and carnivals, she found herself naturally documenting and reviewing those experiences. What started as a passion quickly became a platform. People began following her for carnival insights, event recaps, and her honest takes on everything from J’ouvert to food trucks. “I just enjoy sharing experiences,” she says. “And helping others — especially those not connected to the islands — to feel included in the culture.” Today, Ms. Jouvert has built a trusted space online where thousands turn for inspiration, event tips, and a front-row seat to Caribbean culture — no matter where they’re located. Camera in One Hand, iPhone in the Other Scroll through her feed, and you’ll see more than just pretty pictures. You’ll see a woman deeply invested in preserving and celebrating Caribbean traditions — from showcasing Grenadian food spots to capturing sunrise moments at J’ouvert. “My social media is a big part of my life,” she says. “I share what feels relevant, what matters, and what represents real Caribbean culture.” Her mission? Keep the culture accessible, authentic, and full of joy. All Roads Lead to Spicemas 2025 And in case you’re wondering: yes, she’ll be at Spicemas 2025 — and she’s already gearing up for it. For Jawanna, it’s not just another event on the calendar. It’s a return to a place that moves her spirit, fills her cup, and reminds her why she started this journey in the first place. So whether you’re planning your very first trip to Grenada or looking for the inside scoop on how to navigate carnival season like a pro — follow @MsJouvert and join her for the ride. “This is more than content. It’s a connection. And I want everyone to feel what I feel when I’m in Grenada — pure love, pure energy, pure vibes.”
