What began as a personal reset on the island of Anguilla eventually led her to a groundbreaking career in Caribbean tourism leadership. Now, as the CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority, Stacey brings a rare blend of diaspora experience, cultural fluency, and deep-rooted purpose to her new role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing the Unconventional Path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ten years ago, Stacey took a leap. Tired of the grind between New York and New Jersey, she moved to Anguilla with no concrete plan\u2014just a yearning for something different. Though met with skepticism from her Jamaican parents, her decision became the catalyst for an unexpected rise in the world of Caribbean tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stacey\u2019s willingness to serve, learn, and lead &#8211; opened doors. First appointed to the Anguilla Tourist Board, she was later offered the role of Director of Tourism. Her story reminds us that bold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carryonfriends.com\/cof-087-evaluating-your-career-opportunities-with-dr-shelly-cameron\/\" title=\"Evaluating your Career &amp; Opportunities with Dr. Shelly Cameron\">career pivots<\/a> can create space for unexpected growth, especially when guided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carryonfriends.com\/finding-purpose-and-leadership-beyond-work-with-natalie-bennett\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Finding Purpose and Leadership Beyond Work\u00a0with Natalie Bennett\">purpose<\/a> and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Real-Life Reflection of CDEM\u2019s Lens 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stacey\u2019s lived experience offers a clear example of\u00a0<strong>Lens 1 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carryonfriends.com\/caribbean-diaspora-experience-model\/\" title=\"Caribbean Diaspora Experience Model\">Caribbean Diaspora Experience Model (CDEM)<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0<em>Where You Start Shapes How You See the World.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As someone who migrated from Jamaica to the U.S. during her youth (the 9\u201317 age range), she embodies the experience of a\u00a0<strong>Caribbean-born <\/strong>immigrant. Later, her intentional return to the region for work and life placed her in a\u00a0<strong>transnational space<\/strong>, moving between islands and the diaspora with ease and cultural fluency. Her story illustrates how identity isn\u2019t fixed\u2014it evolves across locations, roles, and responsibilities, especially when rooted in service to community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leading with Heart and Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now at the helm in Grenada, Stacey enters her role with a blend of experience, cultural fluency, and spiritual grounding. Unlike her previous appointment, this position came through a formal application process\u2014affirming her readiness and the region\u2019s recognition of her leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She has been warmly welcomed by the Grenadian people, and her leadership style reflects that same warmth. From town halls to public strategy presentations, Stacey is building trust through transparency and ensuring that local voices are heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Centering People and Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What sets Stacey apart is her unwavering belief that tourism must benefit everyone\u2014not just large enterprises. She measures success by how tourism dollars reach the ground, from roadside vendors to small business owners. Her people-first mindset also shows up internally: she actively develops her team, creating pathways for locals to move into leadership roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diaspora &amp; Regional Connection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Stacey, Caribbean tourism isn\u2019t just about attracting visitors from abroad\u2014it\u2019s about engaging the diaspora and strengthening regional partnerships. She sees Caribbean nationals living overseas as ambassadors and contributors to the tourism economy. Her strategy includes tapping into that power while promoting multi-island experiences to showcase the Caribbean&#8217;s rich diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Innovation with Intention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Stacey embraces new tools and technology, her focus is always on authenticity and access. Whether through storytelling, improved visitor experiences, or digital tools that enhance communication, she\u2019s thinking about how to make the tourism journey more connected\u2014from arrival to departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leadership that Reflects Legacy and Culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stacey Liburd\u2019s journey offers a meaningful blueprint for anyone navigating change. Her leadership reflects a deep understanding of Caribbean identity, a commitment to service, and the belief that culture, community, and career can align. In her words:&nbsp;<em>\u201cTo whom much is given, much is required.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;And in Grenada, she\u2019s showing just how beautifully that can unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grenada Tourism Authority &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puregrenada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.puregrenada.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stacey Liburd &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/stacey-liburd-bs-c-dir-290b4284\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stay-connected\">Stay Connected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Connect with @carryonfriends \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/carryonfriends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/carryonfriends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/carryonfriends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Enjoyed the show?&nbsp; Please remember to&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1HnDcMv\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>leave a rating and review in Apple Podcasts<\/em><\/a><em>.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.breadfruit.media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Breadfruit Media<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;Production:&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/breadfruitmedia\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 From New York to Grenada: A Journey Rooted in Purpose When Stacey Liburd decided to leave her fast-paced New York life behind, even her family was surprised.
