As the world recognises Female Founders Month, Caribbean POSH marks a powerful milestone, 10 years of amplifying, connecting, and elevating Caribbean women across the region and its global diaspora.

Founded by Janette Brin, Caribbean POSH began as a bold idea to address a critical gap: the lack of visibility, connection, and recognition for Caribbean women building, leading, and innovating across industries. Today, it has evolved into a dynamic platform and movement, uniting women across islands and borders through storytelling, curated experiences, and strategic opportunities.

“At its core, Caribbean POSH was created to ensure that Caribbean women are seen, supported, and positioned globally,” says Brin. “What we’ve built over the past decade is more than an event, it’s a space where collaboration thrives, stories are amplified, and women are recognised for the impact they’re making.”

This year’s Caribbean POSH Weekend and ICON Woman Awards are set to be the most impactful yet, highlighting the growing influence of Caribbean women who are no longer building in isolation but collectively shaping a more connected and globally recognised region.

A Decade of Visibility. A Future of Influence.

Over the past 10 years, Caribbean POSH has played a key role in:

  • Amplifying Caribbean women’s voices on regional and international platforms
  • Fostering collaboration across islands and diaspora communities
  • Creating spaces for recognition, connection, and leadership

As conversations around female leadership, representation, and global influence continue to grow, Caribbean POSH stands at the forefront—telling a new story about the region: one defined by excellence, innovation, and collective power.
