Meraki
“Meraki” is a labor of love, and it’s a book I believe is unique in its approach to self-help and inspiration. Unlike many works in this genre that prescribe how to live one’s life, “Meraki” invites you into my world through real-life experiences. As a Caribbean author, I wanted to immerse you in the vibrant landscapes, diverse cultures, and profound interactions that have shaped my life.
One of the distinctive aspects of “Meraki” is my deep connection to the material. I spent over ten years working in Caribbean media, starting my journey at the age of 17. This gives the book its unique backdrop, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs that come with growing up in the Caribbean. It’s a testament to the power of overcoming adversity, told from someone who has lived it.
“Meraki” intricately weaves detailed chronologies into the narrative, creating a captivating and immersive reading experience.
Throughout the book, I provide historical context, painting vivid scenes for each chapter. You’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the world events and cultural landscapes during the times I describe.
“Meraki” is a vibrant canvas that reveals the profound impact of our choices on our lives. It’s a story of inspiration and influence, showcasing both the making and breaking of one’s path. It is a story of faith, triumph, resilience, and unwavering determination. The core message is never giving up.

Hey there! I’m Kayra Williams, born on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. Ever since I was introduced to the world of books, my life turned into a thrilling tale of love for literature. Fiction novels were my jam, and they sparked a dream in me—to be just like those authors weaving tales of real-life experiences.
I discovered my knack for creative writing early on, racking up a bunch of awards during my primary and secondary school years. Fast forward to 17, and I snagged an opportunity that would shape my future, landing a gig with one of St. Lucia’s top newspapers.
Working under the newspaper’s publisher, I found my groove in human interest and feature writing, delving into all sorts of captivating topics. My writing journey expanded from that point, to include stints with publications like SHE Caribbean Magazine, the Tropical Traveler, the St. Lucia Star Newspaper, and The Saint Lucia Voice Newspaper.
But it wasn’t just about writing for me. When the opportunity presented itself, I jumped into discussions with the National Competitiveness and Productivity Council in St. Lucia. Sharing my insights and experiences, I aimed to inspire young people to nurture their creative selves, no matter life’s twists.
In 2012, I hit a milestone, becoming one of the youngest editors at a big-shot Caribbean publishing company. The next year, I packed my bags for Canada, diving into an intense news broadcasting program.
Fast forward to August 2014, and I graduated from Seneca College with a certification in radio and television broadcasting. Upon returning to the dynamic realm of media, my creative journey took an exciting turn. By 2018, I had already been immersed in the world of writing since 2006. It was during this period that I released my first nonfiction novel, “Meraki,” followed by the limited edition “Melodious,” a captivating poetry/prose compilation. Shortly after, “Better Not Fall” emerged as the inaugural novel in my fictional romance series, Mars. For more details on these titles, feel free to explore this website.
Today, only by the grace of God, I’m donning multiple hats as a travel writer, independent contributor, editor and author —all while continuing to grow in faith. I am truly grateful.
