Crystal is a multi-racial native of the majestic twin island republic of Trinidad & Tobago who coins the fusion of multiple races an ‘exotic cocktail,’ she is passionate about her history, culture and heritage. It is primarily and ultimately her first love. Having grown up in a community indigenous to Spanish & Amerindian descendants and a close knit family in a home where she was exposed to Culture as her parents and uncles are all musically inclined, she got involved in the arts at an early age. From dancing under the tutelage and guidance of the infamous Beryl Mc Bernie, to dabbling with musical instruments such as the guitar, piano, tenor pan and the parang instrument; the base box, under the watchful eyes of her parents, to the emphasis on the importance of culture from her grandfather, Rosendo Vidale, who not only sought to educate her on her roots, history and culture but also exposed her to the magic of the written word. 

Crystal realized early on that while her love of music was rich and robust, she excelled more at the written word and found much pleasure with it as it was an avenue where she can express herself and speak out on any variety of thought and give her opinion, reaching a much wider audience. She has been writing practically all her life. It is her solace and source of comfort. She has written poems such as “Juxtaposition of the Mind,” “Chocolate,” “Fire in My Soul,” “Juvenile,” to name a few. In addition she has written many short stories, articles and often controversial social commentaries such as “Diana,” “The Ghetto,” “Steups,” “The Guyanese Neighbor” which has landed her on more than one occasion in the hot seat. She has also written many soulful and heart wrenching pieces based upon the cries of children and women who were and are victims of abuse, be it physical, sexual and or verbal. Crystal has been working assiduously and tirelessly since the age of 16 to make some level of contribution and to educate society, the nation and the world at large on the importance of our culture, our people and our future generations through her written work.

Having also been born into a family with a strong business background, it was only natural for Crystal “Jasmine” Granado to fall in love with the beauty of the Marketing and Public Relations world. She has over twelve (12) years experience in the Marketing field under her belt. She has worked with great organizations such as Nestle Trinidad, S.M. Jaleel, Digicel, Sidewalk Radio, T&T News Centre and even We Limin Promotions International back in 2003, all of which centered on marketing, advertising, customer and public relations. 

Crystal took a sabbatical from the marketing world in 2009 to focus on her love of writing. But she is back in the game for 2011!! Realizing that she can mesh her three (3) loves and also that there is no time like the present, the rebirth of We Limin Promotions International Limited, saw a dream grow into a reality. Of course all this could not have been made possible without the hard work, dedication and vision shared by the entire We Limin Team to propel Caribbean culture into the international arena.

The self titled Cultural Ambassador, die hard patriot, writer and marketing specialist, “Jasmine” is inspired by her grandfather, Rosendo Vidale (who she gives much credit for her strong cultural background), Bob Marley, The Mighty Sparrow, Black Stalin, Ella Andall, Tanya Stevens, Buju Banton, Kes & The Band, Exodus, Dil E Nadan, Laventille Rhythm Section, Rubadiri Victor, Derek Walcott, V.S. Naipaul, Leroy Clarke, Maya Angelou, Heather Headley, Beryl Mc Bernie, Brian Mac Farlane to name a few…

Larnelle Joseph a native of Trinidad, grew up between Barataria and San Juan and now resides in New York City.
Larnelle has been always interested and fascinated by the art of music and the culture and unity that brings it together. At a young age he was introduced to the world of dance and modeling. He was part of Malik Folk Performers, where he experienced African culture first hand, from drumming, to tribal dances, paintings, poetry and got the oppurtunity to meet artists, models, comedians etc. Being part of MFP, inspired Larnelle to venture out and dig deeper into the world of entertainment.
While his years of playing kiddies carnival and observing how the custumes where made and the skill, colors and creativity that went into creation of mas, he decided that he would go into fashion, eventually pursuing his studies in tailoring and fashion where he developed and worked on his skill. Larnelle was always surrounded by talent and entertainers, from his brother Maverick, to his friends Bumper Soprano, Prince, Freak and Rowdy just to name a few
 
During the time that he spent learning the dynamics of the fashion industry, Larnelle was given the opportunity to migrate to further his studies. Being the innovative and analytical guru that is truly known for, he saw this as a great opportunity and pursued a degree in Management and Marketing with a minor in Media arts. As he attended college he joined several organizations around the campus, his main focus being radio. The college campus radio station helped push, shape and further develop his love of promotions and public relations. With his take charge attitude and his quest to learn more, it was easy for him to learn the dynamics of the Public Relations and Promotions world and eventually had his own on-air radio show. Working side by side with other Djs, Larnelle and his crew managed to keep the caribbean vibe going, with shows like "Soca madness" and "High Grade Fridays". This eventually lead to him meet and join Dj groups/sounds like Paradyme Sound and Too Tuff International. Then eventually partnering on with We Limin Promotions International, in their quest to give Caribbean Culture the recognition that it truly deserves and to open avenues for upcoming rising artistes and entertainers.
