About me

I am a Caribbean girl, born on the island of St. Croix, raised and attended school on the beautiful island of St. Lucia, and now living and working on Rock City St. Thomas. Some Caribbean islands I have visited include; Barbados, St. Vincent, Bequia, Martinique, Jamaica, Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Antigua, and Saint Martin. There is always some uniqueness with every place.

As a child I grew up with the notion that being black was ugly. I know different now and would like that past eradicated from my mind as I now help the young people feel great about themselves. I believe this is the group to be in, to help this process.
