Welcome to Yellow Cedar!

Happy Thanksgiving. This is our way of giving thanks to a Virgin Islands community that has given us so much.

Welcome to Yellow Cedar, your gateway to all things Virgin Islands! We are thrilled to have you here and are excited to share this space with you.

Yellow Cedar Media Group is the brainchild of two proud Virgin Islanders, Peter Bailey from St. Thomas and Jed JohnHope from St. Croix. Rooted in our shared passion for the islands, this platform was built to celebrate the culture, stories, and people that make our community extraordinary. Inspired by the resilience and beauty of the Virgin Islands’ state flower, the yellow cedar, we are here to encourage every Virgin Islander to “Do Something” to move the territory forward.

On this site, you will find engaging content that sparks dialogue and inspires action. From our premiere docu-series “Upfront,” where we go one-on-one with the leaders shaping the Virgin Islands, to special features highlighting our history, culture, and opportunities for growth, Yellow Cedar is your trusted source for meaningful conversations and community-driven solutions.

We believe in the African principle of ubuntu—“I am great because we are great.” This ethos drives our work and reflects our commitment to fostering a brighter future for the Virgin Islands.

So explore, connect, and be inspired. Together, we can achieve greatness. And, do not forget to check out our latest video: “Introducing Yellow Cedar”. This introduction video offers a unique perspective on our origins and the journey that brought us here.

Welcome aboard!

Warm regards,
Jed & Peter
