Let me preface this by saying ALL GLORY TO GOD! 🙏🏼💜 I will never not give him all the praise for what he’s done !
What a journey this has been! Transformative and life changing! 🫶🏼 Ive always wanted to express my love for my culture and country on a wider platform and I’m beyond elated I got the chance to do so.
Marcus Garvey once said “take advantage of every opportunity; where there is none, make it for yourself” and so said so done 🫡🤍
I used this opportunity to showcase how patriotic, authentic and passionate I am about my country, and I did so with 100% love! 🇯🇲
To my parents, coaches, friends, family, supporters and well wishers… lawddd unuh sweet sah! 😭❤️ my heart is SO FULL! I am beyond humbled and honoured to have represented you all well!
This journey wasn’t an easy one but it was definitely worth it! I am no longer the same person I was yesterday not to mention 4 months ago and for that I am eternally grateful 🙏🏼
To my parish! St. Catherine ! The parish RICH IN HISTORY! I will ensure I serve you well as your Queen! And that’s a promise I intend to keep for a lifetime even after my reign ✨
The real work starts now, but until then…..
THANK YOU FOR BEING TEAM AFIYA! 🩷
With love,
Your Miss Jamaica Festival Queen 2025 (1st RU) 👑

Three words: THANK YOU, JESUS! 🙏🏼
Every training session, every courtesy call, every appearance, every sleepless night, it all led me to this moment… to this crown 👑. Over the past few months, I’ve shown up for myself in ways I never imagined possible.
This is more than a personal victory, it’s the result of faith, hard work, sacrifice, and countless prayers. I am honoured beyond words to represent the parish of St. Catherine, not just with pride, but with purpose. It is a responsibility I hold close to my heart ❤️. I am committed to inspiring young women and girls to boldly chase the things they once thought were out of reach.
To my coaches, @_veloniqueb@lovejameika@zachary.jw@nasikaalliman …. thank you for being my anchor in the moments I doubted myself. Your patience, tough love, and constant belief in me reminded me of my strength, even when I couldn’t see it for myself. You pushed me to grow, to fight, and to believe and this journey would not have been the same without you 🫶🏼
To my family and friends , what an incredible support system I’ve been blessed with! 🙏🏼 Your encouragement, late-night pep talks, and belief in me kept me grounded every step of the way. Your love and prayers gave me the fuel I needed to stand tall and give my best. This crown isn’t just mine it belongs to all of us. ❤️
The journey continues… See you on August 2nd! ✨
With love,
Your Miss St. Catherine Festival Queen 2025 👑

💕 BEAUTY BEYOND BRUSHES 💕 !
The BBB School Tour made its very first stop at Bridgeport High School and what a debut✨
The ladies truly made this experience so special. From the moment we started, they were engaged, excited, and fully present, which of course, meant everything to me 🫶🏽
What really touched me was how open and vulnerable they were… sharing their likes, dislikes, and just being honest about themselves in such a safe space 🙏🏼
My absolute favourite part was the testimonials from the girls and their takeaways from the entire session 🥹 almost had me shedding tears !
Big thank you to our main sponsor @xlcrjamaica ! The ladies loved the goodie bags 🙏🏼❤️
Forever grateful for this beautiful start… and we’re only just getting started 🤭
Stay tuned for the next stop ! 👑
RECAP ! 💕
2 weeks later and I’m still over the moon! 🤭 this video encapsulates every single moment of the event, from introduction, to entertainment, to the main segments ✨
Got my girl @abihindthescenes to do coverage for my project launch and I’m so obsessed with how the footage came out ! 🫶🏼 she did such an amazing job!
P.S. - she didn’t smile until the event was over 😭🤣 she does NOT play about her job! Ok ?
Wish I could do this event over 10 times! Had such an amazing time with everyone 🩷
Beauty Beyond Brushes is more than makeup it is a love letter to confidence, identity, and becoming ✨ Born from intention and lived experience, this project exists to remind young girls that they deserve to take up space before they ever pick up a brush. While makeup teaches technique, Beauty Beyond Brushes teaches worth, voice, and self-belief….. the kind that opens doors and helps you walk through them boldly.
The official launch of my project was on January 30, a day I’ll never forget, but this vision has been living in my heart for a long time. Grateful for every soul who showed up, poured into the vision, and believed in the work 🥹💖 my village ? SO BIGGG 🤏🏻 and yes everyone wore pink 😊
This is only the beginning, stay tuned 🙏🏼
Yours truly,
The Queen 👑
