A true guardian of our Crucian legacy: Stephanie Chalana Brown is a powerful force in preserving, honoring, and celebrating the rich history and cultural traditions that define who we are as Virgin Islanders. 🇻🇮 She takes great pride and care in stewarding both students and adults, into celebrating and preserving Virgin Islands culture through various practices including: masquerading, costume making and historical education.

Due to her diligent community presence and work, Stephanie Chalana Brown was the ideal choice for this year’s 74th Annual Children’s Parade Grand Marshal Honoree. We were so happy to share the good news with her and capture her live reaction! Her dedication to keeping our culture alive for generations to come is truly deserving of this recognition. 🎉🇻🇮
