#tbt to Connecting with Authors, Trauma & Business Coaches & a Lawyer!

Last Thursday’s Corporate Mingle One Park Restaurant and Lounge by 1 Park Close close to NHT, was definitely about Connections, Community and Collaborations. Mingle Moments always Matter!

I met so many intriguing, optimistic individuals with Bright energies. This particular conversation held me for probably half an hour. I am also happy I was able to keep these Queens engaged, since two of them were apprehensive about coming out and being brave enough to network. This is what it’s all about! Cheers to them and everyone else who came out before the holiday weekend. Thank you!

Have a Great Day !

A Cultural Exchange with Bentley University via Branson Centre Caribbean + an Insightful Session from TAJ & HEART!

Branson Centre Caribbean’s Clare Bailey and Lauri-Ann Ainsworth called me to share our Culture & Marketing practices and I answered. So did fellow Suga Artisans and Local Entrepreneurs By Saffron Safari, Ezy Ad Management and Den Arthur Jamaica.

We had a Session Overview of
“Brand Jamaica in Action: Marketing through Culture, Innovation & Collaboration”

This immersive, interactive session was part of Bentley University’s Jamaican Journeys program. We offered their marketing students firsthand insight into Jamaica’s vibrant cultural and entrepreneurial landscape. The discussion explored how culture informs global brand identity and the storytelling behind Jamaican brands that resonate both locally and internationally.

Brand Jamaica to di World!

#tbt to an Insightful Session from TAJ & HEART’s Revenue Services Department

Thankful for the HEART NSTA Trust for the insightful Professional Development Session they hosted last Wednesday at their Apprenticeship/MSME Unit by Rockfort!

Ms. Allen from TAJ was so full of knowledge that she imparted on us well, in addition to HEART’s Revenue Services Department. Suga Lifestyle and other MSMEs including Suga Artisan, Ayuhthat and more, left empowered with knowledge on tax, revenue management and business structure.

We understood that TAJ has started to go into the primary schools. However, we hope they lobby successfully for it to be a general course for all in the secondary school system, not just for persons doing Accounts/Principles of Business.

This Evening!

Come along even if you did not get the chance to RSVP. RSVPing adds you to our database and gives you name tags.

Hope to See you later!

A great Networking and Motivating Opportunity.

The Perfect Start to Spring with Venezuelan Cuisine at EITS Cafe, Irish Town!

#fbf to Last Sunday to Brunch & Beats at EITS Cafe in Irish Town, Kingston (Ig: @17milepost)!

This staging of Brunch & Beats featured authentic Venezuelan Cuisine by Chef Ines and upbeat Venezuelan music by Sherkhan.

Watch Suga’s Highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHwZXx5SWiY/?igsh=b2IzeXZ4cndqa3ky

The Menu kept signature dishes of EITS as options such as the Barrel Roasted Chicken, Curry Goat and their Ackee & Callaloo with fried Sweet Plantain made a Specialty Arepa! They did notttt disappoint, although I prefer my Curry Goat to be spicier.

The shredded Beef Specialty Arepa was wholesome and amazing!

We enjoyed all courses from start to finish, even if there were waits between, actually necessary to make room for more! I felt like I could have been happily rolled off the hill afterwards.

The Quesilla (Venezuelan Flan) was similar in taste to a Panna Cotta and the hints of Jamaican Rum in the sauce was delish.

A refreshing day in spring and a perfect reset for the week ahead.

*Reservations Recommended* They are closed this weekend for Light Renovations.
