TORONTO CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL “FACE OF THE FESTIVAL” NADELLE JOINS JAMAAL MAGLOIRE AND THE TORONTO REVELLERS ON BREAKFAST TELEVISION


TORONTO, ONT (June 28, 2019) – This morning Nadelle, the “Face of the Festival” for the Toronto Caribbean Carnival, joined Toronto Raptors’ assistant coach Jamaal Magloire and his Toronto Carnival masquerade band the Toronto Revellers for an appearance on City TV’s Breakfast Television. Joined by youth and adult masqueraders in costume, as well as the Revellers Rhythm Section (percussion band), the group danced while chatting with Dina Pugliese and Devo Brown about Magloire’s upcoming Canada Day long weekend event, as well as the carnival season.


Nadelle, who is also a part of the Toronto Revellers’ administrative team, joined her peers to provide the visual display of costumes and colours, inviting the Toronto viewing community to take part in the upcoming festivities.

“Carnival is a great event for people to participate in: it’s a freedom of expression, and lots of fun,” said Nadelle. “I always encourage people to come on down the road and have fun with us.”

Magloire also welcomed viewers to join the Toronto Revellers in carnival activities and extended an invitation to his annual all-inclusive on the Ontario Science Centre patio. “Escape” features live music and international DJs, along with a range of foods and beverages with proceeds supporting the Jamaal Magloire Foundation for at-risk youth.

Nadelle expressed her joy with being a part of the community-building celebrations and the Revellers team. “Toronto Carnival is very important to me, and I’m very happy to be a part of the Toronto Revellers and the Face of the Festival.”.

As the “Face of the Festival,” Nadelle will be present at all official Toronto Carnival events, endorsing the festival for the weeks leading up to the parade on August 3. She will also continue to spread the messaging of #everyBODYplayahmas along the way.

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...

BODY-POSITIVE MOVEMENT USES INTERNATIONAL BODY SHAMING EPISODE TO INSPIRE CHANGES TO CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL COSTUME PRODUCTION TORONTO, ONT. (APRIL 2018) – When #everyBODYplayahmas (EBPAM) founder, full-figured model Nadelle travelled to participate in this year’s Jamaica Carnival, she didn’t know that it would spark a positive change for her movement, as well as ignite an international body shaming event that placed her image and costume as the target of unwarranted negative attention. The online episode—that has now attracted thousands of views, likes, and hateful remarks—is now being used as fuel to inspire positive changes for full-figured costuming in Caribbean Carnivals around the world. On Wednesday, April 11, 2018, a post from Jamaican publication The Jamaica Star was the beginning of what seemed to be an endless stream of mean-spirited commentaries and punchlines. It was a photograph of a pretty masquerader...wearing a costume that the majority deemed to be “not h...

Brief biography (profession, hobbies, passions, etc.):  * Hello! My name is Adeja. First and foremost, I am a carnival enthusiast! Carnival is my vice. In order to afford this expensive addiction, I work at one of the top 5 banks in Canada as a Business Analyst. I graduated from Ryerson University in Toronto with a bachelor of commerce degree in business management. I was born in Canada to a Dominican (not republic) mother and a Jamaican father.

As I grew up I wanted to play but I was very conscious of my body, which held be back from playing for years. In 2015 I decided to let all that fear go, and decided to play mas in Toronto and I haven't looked back since. It was the most liberating and freeing experience of my life. I am in love with that feeling. ...
