Place of birth/Current residence: Nassau, Bahamas/NYC

I was born and raised in The Bahamas. My father is Bahamian and my mother is Jamaican. I have not visited Jamaica yet, but I’m a Caribbean woman from tip to toe.

I started my entertainment blog SheSoMajor in 2009 while I was a college student in New York. I simply stumbled into the ‘blogosphere’ as a way of keeping myself entertained throughout the summer. As it developed into more than a summer fling, my biggest challenge was trying to convince people that ‘blogging’ is a full-time job and it has become a massive industry.

Its tough work, it’s competitive and its 24/7! I love the business of entertainment, so researching, writing and getting the scoop firsthand is such a big thrill! Knowing that I reach thousands of people who are just as thirsty for the latest news in the entertainment industry as I am, keeps me on my toes. Sometimes it can be a double-edged sword because I have a platform that informs, entertains and sways so many people, so its imperative that I make sure my facts are right. Trying not to be slanderous or libellous is a lot of pressure, but every time I need a bit of motivation, I find it in a message, phone call or even a random person on the street telling me how much they love my blog.

‘Nothing in this world can rival a woman’s determination and her persistence to survive and succeed’

This ‘lil ole blog’ has allowed me to converse with movers and shakers in the entertainment industry. But it’s not just meeting influential people that motivate me, it’s the readers in countries around the world checking out my site. SheSoMajor has made it possible for me to have a job that doesn’t feel  like work!

I am a ComplexdWoman because of my strength.
