St Georges, Antigua and Barbuda, 19th Feb 2024- Khadijah Simon, a 19-year-old musician and entrepreneur hailing from Antigua and Barbuda is thrilled to announce her acceptance to the highly anticipated ‘Jazz Emprende 2024’ event, set to take place in Havana, Cuba, from February 27th-29th, 2024.
This extraordinary opportunity is made possible through the generous sponsorship of the UNESCO Transcultura Programme, with the support of the European Union.
This unique event, at the convergence of jazz music and entrepreneurial activity, is poised to be a groundbreaking initiative fostering creativity, innovation, and cultural expression within the Caribbean region.
The ‘Jazz Emprende 2024’ event offers a dynamic platform for young entrepreneurs like Khadijah to enrich their professional competence, enhance entrepreneurial skills, and partake in knowledge transferred through masterclasses, workshops, and live concerts.
The UNESCO Transcultura Programme, through its sponsorship, is covering the international mobility expenses for Khadijah, ensuring her participation in this transformative experience.
This includes round-trip flights, transfers, accommodation, meals, and daily transportation in Havana.
“I am truly grateful to have been selected for this incredible opportunity. The support from the UNESCO Transcultura Programme will undoubtedly amplify my entrepreneurial journey in the jazz music sector. I look forward to immersing myself in the rich cultural and musical heritage of the Caribbean, connecting with industry professionals, and gaining valuable insights to further develop my creative project,” expressed Khadijah.
The purpose of the sponsorship is to facilitate Khadijah’s growth by providing access to entrepreneurship workshops, conferences, and networking activities with key stakeholders from the international jazz market.
The UNESCO Transcultura Programme aims to not only empower young Caribbean entrepreneurs in the jazz music sector but also to increase the visibility and recognition of Caribbean jazz, enhancing the region’s cultural identity and heritage.
The impact of this sponsorship extends beyond participants’ personal growth, with the potential to contribute to the development of the Cultural and Creative Industries in the Caribbean.
The ‘Jazz Emprende 2024’ event is expected to stimulate collaborations, create job opportunities, and spur economic growth within the jazz sector.

This is soooooooo. amazing. So proud of you Khadijah!
It is awesome to hear such great news. Antigua artist definitely have the potential to move outside of their borders to make a meaningful impact on the world. Understanding that they actually have key to open the doors is what many of these artist don’t get. As Khadijah has done, REACH OUT and allow the people who can help you to help you. Of course, always understand that not every situation will garner you a free ride, so be prepared to pay your way at the minimum out of what you earn from that particular opportunity. The Jazz world is filled with shows and events. They are always receptive to new and upcoming artist. Khadijah will have tons of opportunities to build her own brand. This particular situation will bring more light to what she can do and where she can go. May GOD continue to guide her into her destiny. Blessings
Congratulations!!! Well done.
Congratulations and continued Success
