Rihanna, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary' Entices In Savage X Fenty Campaign

“Anne,” you say. “Could you please cut to the chase? What does a July 2020 Savage x Fenty campaign, styled by Jahleel Weaver and lensed by Dennis Leupold, have to do with Riri’s top dog government official status in Barbados?”

I thought you would never ask! Rihanna is clearly trying to seduce us to a lush paradise near water. Agreed? One is reluctant to cite benefits of the COVID-19 pandemic, but one of them is the realization that so many jobs can be done remotely. Zoom and Teams have replaced face to face meetings.

Especially if you have no kids to educate, remote working lifestyles are more and more enticing.

Barbados is heavily dependent on the tourism industry, and week-long getaway tourism is very threatened in our new COVID-19 world. Tourism is 40% of the country’s GDP, with 30% of the island’s workers employed in the tourism industry.

Make no mistake — the island under the political direction of Prime Minister Mottley isn’t moving slo-mo. Quite the contrary. Such an idea seems logical to spring from the mind of a prime minister who makes hiring Rihanna one of her first actions of change in the country. And being elected with a bold plan for a climate revolution.
