THE FOUNDATION

I’ve always been driven by creation. For as long as I can remember, something in me wanted to shape ideas into form — to let my inner world speak through my hands, my imagination, and my spirit. My identity has never been limited to one role; at my core, I am a spiritual being creating on Earth. That truth has guided my entire life.

At five years old, I taught myself to knit from a library book. Perhaps I picked it up because I’d watched my aunt and grandmother knit endlessly. Or perhaps the book simply called to me. Either way, that moment lit a fire in me: I realised I could bring something from my mind into the tangible world.

CREATIVE APPRENTICE

I became obsessed with making things — knitting, sewing, shaping fabric into form. Surrounded by women who created with their hands, I learned early that everything begins as an idea: a spark of energy, a vision. And I learned how to bring that vision into the 3D world.

In my teens, I went to art school and fell in love with pattern cutting — the technical mind of fashion. Measuring. Drafting. Transforming flat lines into living, moving garments. I always thought I was “right-brained,” but those years showed me the beauty of structure, precision, and discipline. Creativity and logic were not opposites; they were partners.

$3M in 36 MONTHS & MOTHERHOOD

In my late 20s, I moved to the United States and launched my first independent fashion label. Within three years — long before social media, websites, or digital marketing — I generated just under $3 million in sales serving one local market. It was pure creativity, intuition, and a deep understanding of what people wanted.

My 30s were devoted to motherhood. I poured my energy into raising a daughter who felt emotionally seen, intellectually stimulated, and empowered to be herself. It was another form of creation — this time shaping a safe, expansive environment where someone else’s brilliance could flourish.

LEADERSHIP & CULTURAL ASSETS

In my 40s, as my daughter grew more independent, I trained as a coach and stepped back into business.

In 2006 I became a Founder and Marketing Director of a small chain of Caribbean restaurant which was one of the most influential African-Caribbean dining brands in London.

That period sparked a wave of modern Caribbean restaurants across the city. Watching others rise, innovate, and express their culture was one of my proudest achievements.

SUSTAINABLE FASHION

In my 50s, I returned to fashion not out of longing, but because I saw a gap in the market: sustainable menswear. I co-created the UK’s first sustainable menswear boutique and eventually received two industry awards — including a presentation at the Houses of Parliament. It was creativity with consciousness — a theme that runs through everything I do.

THE HOLI PORTAL

Everything shifted in 2020. COVID forced the entire planet to confront the fragility of health. But wellness had been my private practice for 40 years — nutrition, meditation, strength training, fasting, and the study of the immune system. With a family history of diabetes, strokes, and cancer, I learned early that food and lifestyle can shape destiny.

I began fasting in my 30s and have continued for three decades. It has been one of the great anchors of my vitality.

So when the world changed, I stepped fully into wellness. I began teaching what had sustained me. I created immersive women’s retreats in Jamaica — experiences rooted in whole natural plant foods, deep rest, spiritual presence, and the power of identity redesign. Watching women shift in six days — clearer minds, calmer nervous systems, improved sleep, more grounded energy — confirmed the work was needed.

The HOLI Portal is where I hold space to facilitate burnout prevention and recovery for high functioning women.
