We’re incredibly proud of our CEO & Co-founder Ian Parmel who today received an MBE for his services to the arts!
Ian says … From a tiny village in Trinidad to the historic halls of Windsor Castle today I had the incredible honour of receiving an MBE.
What began as a love for creativity and cultural expression grew into a lifelong purpose: to celebrate identity, tell our stories, and open doors for the next generation of artists.
I carry my Caribbean roots with pride in every space I enter, and this recognition belongs not only to me, but to my community, my mentors, my collaborators, and every young creative daring to dream beyond their surroundings.
Trinidad raised me. The arts shaped me. Today’s honour reminds me that where you begin does not limit where your passion can take you.
Deeply grateful. Truly humbled. Inspired to keep creating and uplifting others. 🇹🇹✨
