WISH – The Wadadli Initiative for Self-care and Healing is proud to announce that its founder, Chaneil Imhoff, has been nominated for the 2025 Caribbean POSH ICON Woman Award in the category of Health Advocate. This prestigious recognition honors Caribbean women who are blazing trails in their respective fields, making meaningful contributions to their communities, and inspiring the next generation of leaders across the region and diaspora.

Chaneil Imhoff, a communications specialist, mental health advocate, and youth leader, is being recognized for her work through WISH to break the silence and dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health in Antigua and Barbuda. Since its launch in 2024, WISH has led national conversations, school visits, and digital innovation in mental wellness, including the creation of the WISH Mood Tracker platform and multiple community-based mental health programs.

“This nomination is a testament to the power of purpose-driven work and the importance of community care,” said Imhoff. “I am truly honored to be recognized alongside so many phenomenal Caribbean women who are leading with courage, compassion, and vision.”

WISH also extends heartfelt congratulations to the other Antiguan nominees who are being celebrated for their outstanding leadership and achievements. Their nominations reflect the remarkable talent, tenacity, and impact emerging from Antigua and Barbuda, and WISH encourages the public to support each of these women as they represent our nation on the regional stage.

The Caribbean POSH ICON Woman Awards are part of the annual Caribbean POSH Weekend, which will be held from June 27–29, 2025, in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Winners will be announced at the official award ceremony.
