Jayden Phillip is a multimedia artist and social entrepreneur with expertise in writing, photography, and video. His journey in youth work began as a choir member and later expanded to involvement in youth initiatives at his alma mater, Waterloo Secondary School, including Scotiabank Write Away!, a project by the Bocas Lit Fest (BLF).
At 17, while pursuing his CAPE diploma in Science & Technology, Jayden was recruited as a Junior Core Artist by The 2 Cents Movement. The following year, he became the Bocas Lit Fest’s first Youth Programming Intern, where he played a key role in executing four flagship festivals, two national performance poetry tours, and three editions of the First Citizens National Poetry Slam (FCNPS). His most notable achievement was co-strategising the Slam Championship's social media, driving over 1.4 million in reach and 2.1 million engagement signals.
As Technical Artist at The 2 Cents Movement (2CM)—the first role of its kind in the organisation—Jayden spearheaded its digital transformation, enhancing the efficiency and impact of performance poetry and creative consultancy. In 2025, at just 20 years old, he was invited to join the Movement’s Board of Directors, becoming its youngest member.
Beyond his artistic and organisational work, Jayden has provided digital strategy consultation for social and commercial entities across Trinidad & Tobago, the Caribbean, and beyond. Currently, he is reading a BA in Communication Studies at The University of the West Indies (The UWI), with research interests in media, technology, and literature. He is also a member of the Public Relations Association of Trinidad & Tobago (PRATT).
