ANTIGUA & BARBUDA TOURISM AUTHORITY

Fashion stylist June Ambrose is spreading her
wings to the world of travel. The style veteran who
helped transform the looks of stars like Mary J.
Blige, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z and Mariah Carey is
also the island of Antigua's latest Tourism
Ambassador.
The Ministry of Tourism in Antigua established The
Tourism Ambassador Program three years ago, as
a way to honor Antiguans who are industry leaders
or key influencers and can utilize their media
platforms to help promote the destination. Ambrose,
who was born on the island but currently resides in
New York City, was honored at the Annual
Independence Gala this past October.
Throughout her career as a fashion stylist, Ambrose
has dominated the entertainment industry, providing
her skills for more than one hundred and fifty music
videos. The media-savvy mom is also the author of
"Effortless Style" and has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and MTV as a style expert.
Black Atlas caught up with June to get the inside scoop for travelers visiting her native island.
