Women of Business, Caribbean

When Ruth Johnson, a previously featured Fabulous Female,  told me about the Guyanese  Association of Women Entrepreneurs  I was thrilled to know such a group was created to serve women in business. Then she shared about their special promotion for the members where she hoped three selected ladies will, among other things, be featured in the Women of Business, Caribbean.  Of course, I was honoured to get an opportunity to hear and share their stories.  The second of the three fabulous females is  Ms Laurel Ally .  Her determination to succeed is driven by her sense of responsibility to her children and her unwillingness to just let life happen to her. 1.       Describe yourself in no more than three sentences, one if it is possible. I am a hardworking mom of three trying my best to balance life honestly. 2.       Who or What is your greatest motivation? My children motivate...

I found Mrs. Heneka Watkis-Porter from a social media search for Caribbean Female Leaders.  This vivacious Jamaican entrepreneur and innovator is nothing short of bold, courageous and so approachable.  She encouraged me to reach out and she kept to her word and followed up.  Read about this woman who is the CEO of fashion house PATWA Apparel, podcast host of The Entrepreneurial You, and thought leader. 1.      Describe yourself in no more than three sentences, one if it is possible. I’m a motivator whose mission is ‘life transformation through inspiration. 2.      Who or What is your greatest motivation?   Or share your ‘why’ that keeps you going. I’m motivated by the experiences I’ve had as a child. Having experienced feelings of low self-esteem, lack of confidence and abuse, that gave me the impetus to want to be great. I’m passionate about living on purpose, making an impact on the lives of others. 3. ...

Women of Business, what would you have done in the following situation? The cashier told her it was $200.00, almost $60.00 more than she had calculated it herself Well, this # womanahbusiness was diligent and politely asked the cashier to re-check her goods. What do you know? Somehow a $12.00 item was scanned in at $65.00.  As I read my friend's post about her experience, it made me think about how I was operating in my own time.  In the business of handling life, we need to be diligent with our money, our time, in our business and in life in general. A diligent person is careful, conscientious and pays attention to detail.  As a blogger, I am passionate about family, faith and finances and I would like to challenge us to be diligent in these areas. Family Like my friend kept check of her grocery budget, it is important for us to keep track of our family's health and wellness. How are the children? How is your spouse? How are we loving and ...

Does the way you dress say anything about who you truly are?   Many in the audience on Saturday November 11 at the Arise and Blossom Women Organization Dress for Success event  got answers that were worth far more than the entry fee of $30.00 EC dollars and the local fruit drink welcome that was provided by Chillin' Restaurant (the owner, Mrs. Jacqueline Lyttle was a powerful presenter at their inaugural seminar). With fabulous local and regional speakers, the women in attendance were challenged, and encouraged. Let me say right now, I look forward to other Arise and Blossom events, but  on to my review of their most recent event.  The opening treat was a gift for the first woman that would get up and model their outfit, a gift valued at $100.00 from Stylin Chic by Auldine was enough to get the women in attendance settled and full of expectation for the rest of the afternoon. The first presenter was local Classic Fashionista, Mrs. Jean Johnny-Findlay. Impeccabl...

I connected to this week's Fabulous Female because of one of her Facebook groups. After qualifying for a free one-on-one coaching experience with her (She is truly *fabulous* at what she does), I found out she is a Caribbean queen.  Originally from the South American country of Guyana, Phylicia Bernard is a Personal Stylist and much more! Read her interview with Women of Business, Caribbean. Comment and Share! 1. Describe yourself in no more than three sentences, one if it is possible. I am a bold, innovative, ambitious woman who is completely passionate about what she does and empowering women to show up even more confident in the world.
