In the vibrant world of event planning, there are visionaries who bring communities together through celebration and culture. Among them stands the effervescent Kishma Francis, a trailblazer hailing from the stunning shores of St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. With an infectious smile and a magnetic personality, Kishma is the driving force behind some of Miami’s most exhilarating events.
Kishma’s journey into the realm of event planning began with a spark in 2019, a year that lit the flame of her passion for parties. Fuelled by a love for music, mingling, and making connections, she embarked on a quest that would soon evolve into something truly remarkable.
It was during this transformative period that Kishma crossed paths with Khari “Daddy Bomb of MAC 10” Hodge, kindling a partnership that would redefine Miami’s entertainment scene. Inspired by the pulsating beats of a DJ at a jam in Atlanta, Kishma and Bomb envisioned a fusion of vibes that would encapsulate the essence of Miami while honoring their roots from the Virgin Islands.
Thus, SR Entertainment was born, heralding a new era of top-tier entertainment in Miami. With a lineup that boasts names like KarNage, Triple K, Pumpa, and Adam O, Kishma’s events have become synonymous with unforgettable experiences and boundless energy.
In a remarkable collaboration with Akil “Kilo” Brathwaite of Bratto Alert Entertainment, Kishma introduced Mystique Bliss—an event that graced Miami Carnival with the vibrant sounds of Adam O, celebrating the talent of local Virgin Islands artists while captivating audiences with their unique blend of Caribbean flair.
Ever the visionary, Kishma’s creativity knew no bounds. In a moment of inspiration after Miami Carnival J’ouvert in 2023, she decided to carve a new path—one that would bring the rich culture of the Virgin Islands to the pulsating streets of Miami in the form of her own J’ouvert troupe.
Enter FETEtastik J’ouvert, Kishma’s latest brainchild aimed at uniting Virgin Islanders, neighboring islands, and even Americans in a carnival extravaganza unlike any other. With the support of her dedicated team—comprising individuals like Bomb, Kilo, Deneen, Kasey, Lalique, Risha, Tricia, and Choice One—Kishma is spearheading a movement that promises to redefine the J’ouvert experience.
This year marks the inaugural edition of FETEtastik J’ouvert, a celebration steeped in tradition and pulsating with the rhythms of the islands. As registration remains open until September 30th, Kishma extends a warm invitation to all those eager to be a part of this cultural phenomenon—an experience that promises to be nothing short of unforgettable.
