Shauna Chin: An actress with a diplomatic vision

For Shauna Chin, becoming Jamaica’s honorary consul to Los Angeles was never a far-fetched ambition. It was a matter of time.

In March 2008 the actress sat down with Headline Entertainment’s Jerome Hamilton to discuss the future of her career. During that conversation, she voiced an aspiration she had previously shared only with her family — becoming a diplomat.

Nearly two decades later, that long-held vision has become reality, placing Chin in a position to represent Jamaica and its nationals in Los Angeles and Southern California, while opening doors for greater collaboration between the island and one of the world’s most influential centres of entertainment, business, and culture.
