Sometimes your flow leads you to create the experience you want to see at home. 💙

As co-founders of VI Crawl (@thevicrawl), filmmakers, and performing artists, Khalarni Rivers (@khalarni) and Nyaila Callwood (@nymadeit) have built a platform centered around connection, culture, and experiencing the Virgin Islands in a fresh way.

Through their work, they continuously infuse authentic Virgin Islands heritage into modern media and are currently bringing stories to life through the first installment of their groundbreaking Folklore to Film series. 🎬

They are part of a new generation of Virgin Islanders turning creative ideas into experiences that bring people together, encourage exploration, and preserve our stories through a contemporary lens.

For their creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to building experiences rooted in the Virgin Islands, we honor Nyaila Callwood and Khalarni Rivers as our 2026 Rising Stars Honorees.

Connect with these visionaries and so many others at our 10th Anniversary Creative Retreat on Oct 17-18 at Long Bay Beach Resort. 🌀🌴🌊
