Read moreMy early years started in Richmond Hill, St. George’s however, when my parents separated and divorced, my mom moved my sister and I to Calliste, St. George’s. I attended the Presentation Brother’s College. Mommy was a fruit vendor selling in the alley between Arnold John and KFC in St. George’s. I remember praying that sales will be good so we can have something to eat. For my Summer vacation in 2000, I decided to work as a bagger at Real Value Supermarket and this became my after school job. I no longer needed to ask mommy for money for school, because I was working, budgeting and saving my salary. I was going to school from 8am to 3pm, then to work from 4pm to 9pm and still keeping my grades no lower than 90%. When time to pay for my CXC subjects, I used money from my savings. I got 8 from 9 CXC subjects. Then I got a job as an accounts clerk at Ideal Bakery. After Hurricane Ivan hit Grenada in 2004, I got an opportunity in 2015 to study at the School of Accounting and Management (SAMS) in Trinidad where I would spend one (1) year to do an Associate Business Executive (ABE) Diploma and that will give me entry to Anglia Ruskin University’s bachelor degree program in the UK. Life in Trinidad was not easy. I did odd jobs like paint houses, carpentry, plumbing, construction, electrical and carwashing to earn money to survive . I graduated from Anglia Ruskin University with my Bachelor of Arts in Business Management with Second Class Honors in 2009. After graduating from Anglia Ruskin, I returned to Grenada and due to the lack of work, I decided to volunteer at the Grenada Institute for Theological Education (GITE). I also started Camp Tour movement where I would coordinate with churches to have gospel artists from
