Kimanee Wilson is our cover girl this issue. The Jamaican-born model lives in New York but is a country girl at heart. Kimanee admits she’s not a party girl, she’s a home body. In an industry fraught with distractions and detours, it is remarkable she stays focussed on her journey. “I think that has a lot to do with background and upbringing. I have very strong roots and I am very close to my family and I have really good friends,” she says. Kimanee Wilson visited St Lucia for the SHE Caribbean cover shoot. She is fun, intelligent, easy going and, it goes without saying, beautiful. It doesn’t hurt perception that she is enamoured with the island that she describes as one of the “most amazing places I’ve ever been to.” She looks forward to the day when she can retire to the quiet and calm of country living.The successful model talks to SHE about how she reconciles the demands of work in a high intensity industry with her spiritual journey.
