This shoot was for a feature in the 'Woman Wise' magazine of the Guardian TT newspaper. I learned early on to do my own make-up (which was dodgy at times lol) but it worked and I realized knowing how to manage make-up and hair as a performer was imperative.

Newtown, Port of Spain
Won the Newtown Girls' R.C. School calypso competition with a song written by my teacher Mrs. Vincent-Brown and classmate Aliyah Drakes in 1995 titled 'Seatbelats'. My ever supportive mom put two belts around my waist to resemble an actual seatbelt, I really thought I was Singing Sandra.
'The Wonder' Cruise Ship
Disney Cruise Line days. I was so thrilled to be a part of this amazing cast. Most of my professional learning happened with D.C.L.
