Written by Anastasia Tomkin

Power. Everyone craves it, but not many can claim it. Only a select few are bold enough to take it. To reach into the depths of their psyche and harness the discipline to turn water into wine. Power, like a serum coursing through their veins that steers them in the right direction, makes them immune to the haters, and attracts the attention of onlookers. The 48 laws of Power says that everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid. And TVisuals’ five Power Players are anything but timid.They’re inspiring, ambitious, and all about the money moves. And they’re here to show us how to step our game up. Sounds cocky? You bet your ass it is, power isn’t for the fragile ego.

Just ask Renaldo Frederick, who we had to catch days before he leaves to become the first Trini to pursue his Master’s at the Royal Academy of the Dramatic Arts. Actors are known for being elusive, amirite?The man behind the characters dishes on his budding career finessing the road less traveled, and how he plans to evolve the local theatre and film industry. Perched on his arm is the ultimate Drama Queen, Chanel Glasgow, who is already leading the next generation of thespians like a shepherd with a staff. From cheerleader to coach in a few short years, she’s one over - achiever you’ll be dying to meet.

Rounding out our rising star actors are fashion-forward entrepreneurs Anderson Delysia and Shanice Vitalis. Most people may think Shan is just an IG model, from the cheeky photos and equally cheeky captions. But this sultry swimsuit connoisseur is lowkey redefining the image of a businesswoman. Andy, born at the intersection of altruism and high fashion, is bringing sizzling Afrodisiac style to the Southlands. Find out how this Point Fortin native is serving looks and spreading love. Last but not least, there’s the petite powerhouse Lynda de la Mothe, the talent behind all things Beauty at TVISUAL. She gives us the inside scoop on being TVISUAL's beauty director, holding down a day job, and launching an exciting career in makeup artistry - while being so damn fine.

Harness the power of the new wave of Caribbean creatives,with individual features, coming soon,exclusively on TVisual ;)

Note: “When I brought up discussion of our first September - October feature, my peers at TVISUAL were very clear on doing something grand. Immediately a number of individuals rang off in my head. Thinking about the massive talent and just all around stars, past students and friends came to mind. It’s no secret that I love working with my secondary school friends or people I’ve met during that period, I’m quite the nostalgic obviously! These individuals are definitely amongst some of the most incredibly talented human beings I’ve met. Fast forward to almost ten years later and they’re still inspiring and dedicated to their crafts and grinds. This made our September – October feature that much easier and special to create, a reunion! It’s a huge honor for me as a visual artist to immortalize this chapter in their lives, pre-superstardom! Haha!” - Terrance
