My dream in life is to rise up to my full potential and live a life that I love.
I'm currently working on launching a new start up that could potentially revolutionize
the way the African and Caribbean diaspora stay connected to their families.

If there was a movie produced about your life, who would play you, and why?
I would want Kimberly Elise to play me. I think she is an excellent actress and I feel that should could portray the many facets of my personality and grit. There is an intensity in her eyes that is captivating.
What do you love about yourself?
I love my ambition and my zest for life.
What have you been reading lately?
Two things that make you smile.
The sun and children laughing.

Name two people who have influenced your journey thus far.
- Maya Angelou has been an incredible inspiration for me as I go through my journey. She represented a woman who was fearless and expansive in her life and career. She placed no limits on who she was and could become. This resonates with me very strongly as I continue to grow and evolve. I don't want to put any contraints on myself in terms of what I can achieve, even if it's something that has never been done.
- Mohammed Yunus, I read one of his books "Banker to the Poor" when I was 19 and it completely shifted my thinking of the world and the possibilities on the types of businesses I wanted to create.
Two favorite quotes of the moment
"Be still and know." (Psalms 46:10)
"A noble purpose inspires sacrifice, stimulates innovation and encourages perseverance."
- Gary Hamel
"A noble purpose inspires sacrifice, stimulates innovation and encourages perseverance."
- Gary Hamel
Three destinations of your dreams.
Egypt, Fiji, and Kenya
How would you describe your fashion style?
Classy / Chic with some funk sprinkled on it.
Tell us one pleasant thing people would be surprised to know about you.
I know all the lyrics from Illmatic.
For you, Art is...
...liberation and vulnerability.
According to you, what is the purpose of life?
I believe that the purpose of life is to love and honour what your gut and intuition is hinting you to do. Do you!
