Belizean in #Made_In_TheCaribbean: UNESCO Transcultura Fashion Design Competition

Belizean Ronelli Requena is competing in the #Made_In_TheCaribbean: UNESCO Transcultura Fashion Design competition. The UNESCO Transcultura Programme, supported by the European Union, highlights the creative brilliance of young talent across the Caribbean.

The Transcultura Fashion Design Competition marks the debut in a series of themed calls for the Transcultura Awards, celebrating and acknowledging the imaginative flair of emerging fashion professionals in the Caribbean.

Requena’s collection is called MEst-HIZO. She was challenged to craft an avant-garde mini-collection (consisting of 3 to 5 pieces) that embodies the essence of the Caribbean—its cultural diversity, artistic expressions, mutual exchanges and influences, or shared cultural traits.

You can vote for Requena by visiting unescohabana‘s Instagram page and commenting ‘MEst-HIZO’ under the post. 

Double Murder in Roaring Creek 

Two people were fatally shot on Sunday night in Roaring Creek Village, Cayo District. The victims, Marcel Neal and his spouse, were inside their house with their fifteen-year-old son when they were attacked. The couple died on the scene. The teenage son was rushed to the Western Regional Hospital after being shot in the leg. 

Roaring Creek Village falls under the state of emergency, which expired last week. Police Commissioner Chester Williams told reporters last week that he requested an extension of the state of emergency. That request was rejected by cabinet

Williams is expected to brief the media about the double murder and other incidents that occurred over the weekend.
