Khrystal Wilson is a distinguished Communications professional whose mission is to serve her communities, nation and humankind with a heart, empathy and truth. Her dedication to her profession has fuelled her endeavours in the field of journalism, where she amassed over twenty years’ experience in the local media in the areas of print, radio, television, and digital journalism.
Renowned for her dedication, versatility, and storytelling, she has made a profound impact on the national media landscape. She has served in various on-camera capacities — anchor, field reporter, and program host — across major local television networks. Beyond being in front of the camera, she has produced and directed multiple TV segments and specials; her behind-the-scenes work includes scripting, story development, and coordinating production logistics. She was instrumental in creating flagship programming and her vision has helped nurture new formats and platforms, often championing Trinidad and Tobago’s culture and public issues. Her byline in the past appeared regularly in prominent newspaper publications, where she wrote compelling features, pieces that explored politics, and human-interest stories. With roles in planning editions, editing submissions, and curating content, she has shaped the editorial voice of several television programs and newspapers. Her mentorship has also groomed up-and-coming writers and journalists.
With her recent exit from the local media industry at TTT Limited, where she spent two years leading the team in her role as Head of News and Current Affairs, Khrystal is now embarking on establishing a Communications consultancy with primary focus on Crisis Communications, which she sees as crucial for managing the impact of unexpected events, protecting reputations, and maintaining stakeholder trust. She firmly believes that controlling the narrative is key as a means of mitigating misinformation and ensuring public safety and trust during challenging times.
