Shamina grew up in a Trinidadian-British household where Carnival prep started in January and every family gathering centered on food. She's spent 15 years chasing that same energy—night markets in Taipei, Holi in Rajasthan, Day of the Dead in Oaxaca.
Her writing covers culinary travel, festivals, and local traditions, always from the crowd, never the VIP section. She'll tell you which street stall the locals actually line up for and which "authentic" experience is staged for tourists.
Based in Mexico City. Travels with hot sauce in her bag.
