GUYANA’S premier fashion icon, Sonia Noel is now partnering with Island Xclusive, the leading tourism and entertainment guide in the Caribbean, and in the process adding to her list of endeavours.

On her recent sojourn to St. Lucia, Sonia met with Jeanille Bonterre, executive producer and host of Island Xclusive, and embraced the opportunity to outfit Ms. Bonterre for one of her shows.

Apparently, the meeting was one of mutual interest, because Ms Bonterre said that wearing a Sonia Noel piece has always been a dream of hers, and she cannot believe it’s finally happening.

Boasting the love of her country, Sonia was able to convince the Island Xclusive team to visit Guyana and showcase us, like never before, as a hotspot for tourism and cultural exploration.

Island Xclusive is the ultimate guide for travellers who want to escape the everyday routine. This innovative travelogue captures paradise with sophistication, style and down-to-earth fun. Each episode includes a TV show, a travelblog and webisodes, and seasonal promotions are offered via its interactive website.

“Xclusive inspires people to travel beyond the screen, to experience these amazing island destinations that have so much to offer, from great cuisine and fine art to ultra exotic locales; and  I am looking forward to visiting the eco resorts and the Kaieteur Falls in Guyana,” said the very charismatic hostess, Jeanille Bonterre.

Jeanille’s experience and infectious personality set her apart from thousands of international candidates, and won the hearts of casting directors and executives at MTV Networks in search of a unique face and voice to represent their brand in the Caribbean.

They brought her to MTV’s TEMPO, the first ever Pan-Caribbean network, as the host and producer of her own show, ‘Downtown Island’, their concert series, ‘Live and Direct’, and she was the spokesperson for their Caribbean HIV/AIDS awareness campaign, CHOICES.

Always motivated by her passion for culture and people, this self-assured media maven continues to build her legacy of quality multicultural media as host and producer of the travel series ‘Island Xclusive’, now broadcasting on the CBS affiliate, One Caribbean TV , in the USA, Central and Latin America, the Caribbean, and Online @ islandxclusive.com.

If Jeanille’s not travelling for her TV and radio shows, she’s working with community development projects, or hosting special events throughout the Caribbean.

When asked about advice for others pursuing their passion, she says: “Whatever your career aspirations are, study your craft, focus, and go for it. Believe in yourself, and trust that your spirit will always guide you towards the path of prosperity.”
