Shea Moisture Pop-Up Highlights

August 18, 2019

Shea Moisture recently hosted their first ever pop-up in Canada. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen before in Toronto.

It was a four day pop up celebrating all things hair. It explored topics like beauty, wellness and culture as it relates to hair. The theme of the pop up was Be Your Beautiful. It also coincided with Toronto Caribbean Carnival and as a result had lots of island flavour. I had the honour of contributing to a panel and hosting the VIP launch event.

AcroYoga, Slacklining & More At The Think Outside Summit

September 24, 2017

When I left my news job there are many things that I realized I was missing out on. One of those things was spending quality time outside. Sure I reported outside but it wasn’t quite the same as actually being present and fully aware of my surroundings. Home, work, home, work…that was my life. Now that I work for myself I’ve committed to doing all the things I didn’t make time for or was too tired to do. Continue Reading…

My September Goals

September 10, 2017

I’ve been thinking about this summer. I must say there were moments of frustration, indecision and doubt. It’s been slow in terms of acting gigs, brand collabs etc. But this is to be expected during the summer months. However for all the bad  Continue Reading…
