I work with a really great set of talented, yet humble ladies each month on Triple the Focus. Although I don’t get to see all of the them often, and some not at all since they are based in Jamaica, I get to know them primarily through their contributions to magazine since I do the layout. I have gotten to maintain a relationship with them via social media and know that they are all accomplishing much success on their own terms. In honor of the Caribbean Digital Divas event, I thought it would be a great to share my Triple the Focus family with my readers to that you can get to know and follow them too! First up is the EIC herself, Stacey Bethel.
Stacey is a phenomenal person with a “Take No Ish” attitude (but she does it with a smile). As if her PR & Management company (clients include Delus, Keida, Third World, I-Octane and more) isn’t enough, she started a great Caribbean Lifestyle e-zine called Triple the Focus. Get to know Stacey’s digital favorites, inspirations and opinions on digital and Caribbean culture.

How has the web change how you do your job? The web is the perfect research tool and everything is just a click away. The web makes my job a lot easier in terms of manageability and organization. It makes my businesses run smoothly. (Read more after the jump)
How do you think the web has affected how people view Caribbean Culture? I think the web has positively affected how people view Caribbean Culture in that, all you want to know is a click away. It is easier for PR outlets to get the word out about their clients so that it reaches all across the globe. The web is really where the world meets and interacts. I don’t think it gets any better than that.
What Makes you a Caribbean Digital Diva? I am not sure that I am. There is still a lot that I have to learn. I don’t think I have a full handle on the many ways in which I can utilize all digital platforms available. It is a constant learning process.
Females who inspires you: My entire Triple the Focus team. They are an amazing and talented group of women. And my Mom!
