SIERRA MONTALVO
NIA NORTHE
ALINA DOODNETH
Sierra and Kristine meet at Lakeland High School. Freshman year, Kristine was the new kid who had a Trinidadian accent. We had the same class schedule. Serria made Kristine feel welcomed, adjusting to a new school and country. Their friendship continues to grow no matter where life takes them.
Kristine and Nia's friendship began at Buffalo State College. As a new sorority sister, Nia was matched with Kristine, taking on the role of Big Sister. Our time in sorority made our friendship closer, and after college, they are there for each other's milestone life moments.
Kristine's older sister and freelance journalist. Kristine was the annoying little sister that would sneak into Alina's room when she was not at home. Alina has always been the protective and caring older sister. Sharing this special day together would be cherished.
JULIA ASSUE
EVETTA APPLEWHITE
TONYALEE BERNARD
Julia and Kristine are first cousins. Seeing how Jules has grown into a creative, talented dancer and passionate about positively impacting the world is incredible. From playing Wii together to now being a bridesmaid, it is a special moment to share.
Evetta and Kristine met while working at a local bar in Buffalo for one day. They quickly realized they had more in common than just living in Buffalo. Evetta is of Trinidadian descent on her father's side. We also made another connection that Kristine works with her favorite cousin, Duane, at Travelers Insurance.
Tonyalee and Kristine met in the early days of primary school in Trinidad. Tonya has been one of Kristine's closest friends. When Tonya migrated to NY, we lost contact. Years later, Kristine also moved to NY. They reconnected in NYC, and it felt like they never missed a beat. They continue to stay in each other's lives.

Kristine and Afyia first meet while volunteering together at college. They both enjoyed giving their time to help others. Kristine persuaded Afyia to join the sorority sisterhood of Alpha Sigma Tau.
