Jamaica is not short
of talent! The little Island in the English –speaking Caribbean once known for
Reggae Music and Usain Bolt have now added Fashion to its repertoire. It was a
hot Sunday afternoon when inside the Sir William Grant Park in Downtown Kingston
I saw the most beautiful wire jewelry that caught my eyes that I immediately
decided I had to meet the designer.

What
inspired you to launch your own brand and how did you come up with the name?
When I started it was
more for Therapy and something to keep my mind together. When friends and the family would see the designs I created, they encouraged me to do more and that is
where the inspiration came from. I prayed and asked God to give me a name since
he gave me the gift and BEAUCENTRIC (Where Beauty Is Eclectic) was born.

Was it
hard starting a creative business?
hard starting a creative business?
Starting any business
is hard and yes a creative one is extremely hard! I had to learn every step on
my own when you have to also do the business aspect as well as the creative (design) side of things, it’s a bit of a challenge.
I’m thankful for the support system as they keep me going. There are many times I wanted to walk away or felt like I couldn’t go any further but Jermet and Davine
wouldn’t let me.

Do you
think Jamaica is more accepting of creative careers like Fashion + Design?

Yes, I do — this
generation is more open-minded and out of the box when it comes to fashion and
beauty. When I’m at craft shows most of my customers are locals and they love
it.

We have a small favor to ask. People are reading the Haute Lifestyle than ever since our recent placement in the South Florida Blogger Awards but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. We do not have investors and everything Blog related is funded out of pocket– we want to keep our journalism as fun and open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Our article takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective and voices matter – because it might well be your perspective, too.
If everyone who reads our posts, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure.
