Semesha Corea is a media entrepreneur and the founder of EDGE Media Centre, a boutique digital marketing firm specializing in creating videography, photography, and graphic design content for small businesses and nonprofits in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The company’s mission is to connect young audiences to the history and culture of the islands by creating educational videos and digital content that highlight important voices, causes, and traditions in Caribbean culture. 

“We want to help our Vincentian children connected to their roots and connect to their culture using the platform of video… to act as the bridge and reawaken the passing down of traditions and culture and create an appreciation for the current times,” Corea said. 

Hunter’s Fund will enable Corea to create the pilot season of a show that will dive deep into the history of the islands and its people. “We will be creating the experience of sitting on the porch, listening to your grandmother telling tales of when she was younger, the fairy tales of old and mysterious creatures that used to hang around, the beginning of a tradition. Let’s make history entertaining and start family conversations about heritage again”.

Hunter’s Fund

Hunter’s Fund honors the life of Hunter Watson, a young man of extremely diverse talents who was killed at 20-years-old when he was fatally injured as a passenger in a distracted driving collision.

Through distracted driving education and awarding grants to help young people’s involvement in performing arts, music, computer science, and entrepreneurship, Hunter’s Fund empowers young people in their careers and keeps Hunter’s spirit alive.
