Caribbean content creators have been producing a range of video material on YouTube and other platforms, attracting hundreds of thousands of viewers from around the world. Laura Dowrich recommends five of her favourites

Lacking many of the restrictions of television or streamers, YouTube has become a hub for creators and viewers alike. The platform also offers enterprising video producers — at least those with large followings — the ability to earn money from their uploads in various ways. Caribbean creators have seized the opportunity, with comedians, musicians and artists, lifestyle and travel vloggers, cooks, music reviewers, and popular personalities all producing their own unique material across the platform. Here are five (of many) to check out!

Yendi Phillipps

With over 100,000 subscribers, the former Miss World Jamaica has found her niche as a talk show host. Her show Odyssey with Yendi attracts the who’s who in Jamaica, from Olympians Usain Bolt and Elaine Thompson to dancehall stars Shenseea and Gramps Morgan. Set in a picturesque tropical garden, the show ranges from light and fun with games to serious, tear-jerking conversations. The model, actress, television host and businesswoman is warm, empathetic and endearing as a host, with the ability to bring out the best from her guests. As a result, her shows provide fodder for news outlets and fans alike — such as Shenseea’s first interview after the death of her mother and, more recently, Lila Iké’s revelations about her mental health struggles. Driven by her faith in God, Yendi’s platform is designed to provide hope and inspiration to all who tune in.
