I'm Far From Finished...

So let me tell you where I started!

Thank you for visiting #everyBODYplayahmas! My name is Nadelle and I have been a Carnival junkie since I first played mas in 2005.

Caribana 2005

I have traveled throughout Canada, the US and the Caribbean to various carnivals and always have the time of my life!

Trinidad Carnival 2008 - Carnival Monday

Trinidad Carnival 2008 - Carnival Tuesday

#everyBODYplayahmas was created because over the years I heard many women say they did not have the "body" to play mas. Mas is for everyBODY... everyBODY should feel comfortable taking part in the revelry and having a good time.

Caribbean Plus Model - Caribbean Plus Fashion Week - Trinidad 2014

In 2014, I participated in the Caribbean Plus Fashion Week in Trinidad for the Carnival Plus Model segment of the runway show.

Trinidad Carnival 2017 - Carnival Monday

I have made it my personal mission to encourage all women to step outside of the constraints that hold them back. If playing mas is something you would like to do, reach out to me and I will be more than happy to get you directed to the right places!

Confidence is your outfit, the world is your stage!

My experience as the Face of the Festival for Toronto Carnival 2019

I have been attending Caribbean carnivals since a child, and each and every experience is unique and special in its own way. From Trinidad to Jamaica, and Atlanta to Washington, each carnival has its own flavour, its own style, and its own vibe. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, I can’t help but have an appreciation for our carnival and feel a personal responsibility for its execution and the enjoyment of everyone. Whether through volunteering, participating, or helping administrators and costume makers along the way I have always tried to have my hand in the production of Toronto’s carnival. This year, as the Face of the Festival (along with Joel “The Connector” Davis), I was blessed with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to officially represent the carnival in public and in mass media, and the honour was everything I could have asked for, as a support of our hometown festival. It all began with my application for the Face of the Festival competition, where I...

Ubersoca Cruise 2023: A Project Manager's Perspective on Sailing into Soca Paradise

This year marked a thrilling chapter for me as I stepped into the heart of the action, not as a reveler, but as a key player in the execution of the unforgettable Ubersoca Cruise 2023. As a project manager overseeing event execution and liaising with artists and DJs, I gained profound insights into the orchestration of this colossal and amazing event. Destination Delights: Belize and Costa Maya Sailing on the Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas, we made stops in the enchanting Harvest Caye, Belize, and the vibrant Costa Maya, Mexico. The familiar throb of excitement synonymous with USC was seamlessly transported onto the Explorer of the Seas. Musical Bliss: Concerts and Pool Parties The sonic landscape of USC is always a highlight, and this year was no exception. The White Onyx concert featuring Ricardo Drue, Alison Hinds, Shal Marshall, Patrice, Voice, and King Bubba set the stage for a musical journey. The Olympic Swim Team pool party made a splash, but the real knockout was the Fig...

I was exposed to it from a young age in Jamaica when my aunt participated. My first experience was not a pleasant one but the next year I found a new mas camp to participate in and it was love ever since. From there I tried out to model and did my first photoshoot for Miami Carnival 2017. What carnival experience has been your favourite (and most proud) to date? * My favorite carnival experience has to be New York 2017. I had such a great time with my friends and I fe...
