I Am A Mother. I Am A Creator. I Am A Wife. I Am A Survivor.

Who I AM

"I am a woman who is not defined by any medical condition, rather I am a conqueror of breast cancer, endometriosis and alopecia."

I am a black woman of Jamaican and Guyanese heritage. I am 33 yrs old, married and mother to 3 yr old twin boys. 

About the things I love, first and foremost I have a passion for God, I have a huge heart and love to help people. One part of my creative side comes out in the kitchen because I really enjoy preparing food that is memorable, flavorful and that reminds me of my grandmothers cooking. 

I am also deeply passionate about expressing myself through fashion and making a bold statement with each outfit and accessory. Home decor is my ultimate happy place, it is my way of putting that unique touch to sacred spaces.

WHAT I DO.

"I am an artist. A businesswoman. A Woman.

Since I can remember, I've been driven to excel at my own thing and to build a lasting legacy. 

Creativity thrives within me and from that creativity, I've birthed two businesses. 

Businesses created from fervent passion and a sense of purpose...


Everyone hates when you buy something, but you never end up wearing it… Until that one day you wear it and you receive a ton of compliments.  But then you try to buy more of it, but you can’t find it anywhere!!! Yup, it happened to me.  But don’t worry, I can assure you, once you fall in love with my pins, they’ll become a staple with every outfit. 

From this La Petit Chambré was born.


Everyone loves good food, not only is it good for your body, it's good for the soul. Nothing brings people together like good food. Food is life and cooking has been one of my greatest loves.

From this Bení was born.
