A’LEGENDS RETURNS TO THE RUNWAY AS JENELLE ALEXIA RECEIVES DIASPORA EXCELLENCE AWARD
This September, A’Legends, the cultural fashion brand founded by Jenelle Alexia, will make a bold return to the runway at the Rediscover Africa 2025 African Night Out Gala & Awards, where Jenelle will also be honoured with the prestigious Diaspora Excellence Award for her outstanding global impact in fashion, literacy, and empowerment.
“This award represents purpose and legacy,” Jenelle shares. “I built A’Legends to inspire others to embrace their story, culture, and creativity, and now to walk the runway and receive this honour in the same night is a moment of divine alignment.”
Known for high impact fashion presentations including her Hidden Treasure Fashion Show featuring Grammy nominated producer Delly Ranx and international reggae artiste Vershon, and appearances during New York Fashion Week—Jenelle’s A’Legends brand continues to blur the lines between culture and couture.
Over the weekend, Jenelle also connected with rising Dancehall artists Nigy Boy and KKrytical at Evolution an event held in Philadelphia, Pa personally gifting each of them exclusive A’Legends shirts as part of her continued mission to align the brand with influential voices in music and culture.
From the runway to the classroom, A’Legends is more than a fashion brand; it’s a movement. With over 9,000 students impacted through literacy programs across Jamaica and the U.S., the brand fuses fashion with purpose, leaving a legacy far beyond the stage.
