TWEAK YOUR CHIC BAHAMAS 'BAHAMIAN WOMEN ROCK' FEATURE
JULY 18th, 2019
I must admit, I had never heard of the TWEAK YOUR CHIC BAHAMAS organization until one day I was nominated and tagged as a 'Bahamian Women Rock' feature by a great friend of mine that continues to support my brand. I was one out of many that was nominated and was grateful just for the nomination. Until I received a direct message from the founder of the organization, Leshan Ferguson, that I was the one chosen.
Within a few weeks the feature was posted on Instagram and Facebook on both the organization and the founders pages as well as shared by others including myself. This solidified the support of my hometown to my brand and I know that there is more to come. I relish in any opportunity that will allow me to talk about my brand and tell my story.

This event marked my first fashion show event. I was first contacted to be the jewelry provider for fashion brands that were a part of the show. Then about a week before my arrival, I was asked to be one of the designers to showcase on the runway. What? My very own segment? I was beyond thrilled for this opportunity. The event was sold out, and attended by hundreds fashion enthusiasts.
Thanks to Mount Tabor Church and the likes of Pia Glover that assisted in facilitating this event.
JUJUKANOO ARTS presents BAHAMAS FINEST HANDCRAFTED: CELEBRATING THINGS BAHAMIAN
July 6th, 2019
When I received the call to possibly participate I was immediately onboard. This event marked the first big event in Nassau, The Bahamas since I launched my brand at the beginning of the year.
My plans to make my way back to where it all started came full circle much quicker than anticipated. This particular event was even more appealing considering the unique artistry that was showcased.
Family and friends showed up and showed out with so much love and support for the brand. The outpouring of encouragement from those that wanted to attend and couldn't showed their support with encouraging comments, hearts, likes, and shares. And a special thanks to Vanessa Miller and the Jujukanoo Team.

It is always great to know that your fellow countryman see the work that you are doing and want to celebrate you.
