From the public dump in Trinidad to Forbes featured and Global Coaching Business.
This is My story…
I didn’t come from money.
I came from hunger and that hunger became my greatest asset.
I grew up in Biche, Trinidad, the last of 11 children.
I slept on the floor and had no shoes to go to school.
From the age of 10, I was working in the coffee fields beside my mother, carrying large sacks of yams on my head after a full day’s labour.
All the while - watching other children have holidays, school books, and decent food, wondering why that couldn’t be me.
My mother told me education was the one way out of poverty.
So I held onto that with everything I had.
At 13, my father told my mother there was no money left - not for books, not for transport, not for school.
I was one hour from my secondary school.
I cried for days, but crying wasn’t going to build my future.
So my mother and I made a decision that would either define us or destroy us.
We went to the dump.
For two months, we ate food collected from the public rubbish site.
We got soaked in the rain and stayed in those wet clothes all day.
We dug through dead animals and rotting waste, collected rags and broken glass bottles, broke them up, and sold them - so I could buy a uniform and school books.
Let that land.
I did not come from a place of privilege, of connections, of a safety net.
I came from a place where the only option was to keep going or disappear into the poverty that surrounded me.
I chose to keep going.
On the days I made it to school, I studied with everything I had.
I borrowed books from friends and teachers.
Some days I had nothing to eat for the entire school day.
I walked home when there was no bus.
Eventually through sheer, stubborn, unrelenting tenacity, I sat my exams and walked away with 7 GCSEs.
I didn’t stop there.
I went on to A-Levels Law and Government & Politics.
I started Law School in Trinidad, then moved to the UK to finish it.
I arrived in the UK not knowing anyone. No connections. No resources. Nothing.
Was made homeless twice in London.
I ate cornflakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I worked 16 hour days at the beginning (Thank God “AI” is now here!)
But I had something most people can’t be given.
I had a system, a mindset, and an absolute refusal to let where I came from decide where I was going.
Sales wasn’t a career for me. It was survival.
I learned on the streets of London, Europe, the USA etc. how to read people, how to understand desire, how to close with conviction when the stakes were everything.
Those streets gave me the foundation of what would become my 7 Steps to 7-Figure Sales System.
The very same system I taught thousands of entrepreneurs across the world.
I built businesses from nothing.
I built relationships brick by brick.
I built a reputation that crossed continents.
Today I have travelled to over 50 countries.
I’ve lived in Trinidad, the UK, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Built a Global Coaching Business to teach 5, 6, 7, and 8-figure entrepreneurs to Live their Champion Life!
I run events and AI masterclasses, to teach others how to create multiple incomes, launch their big idea, build their exit strategy and fast track their success.
Been featured in Forbes, quoted in Think & Grow Rich for Women, appeared on Sky TV, BBC Business News, B2B News etc.
Even Napoleon Hill’s own grandson, Dr JB Hill, quoted me in front of 20,000 people saying… “There is no better time than the present in order for you to take action to succeed.”
But none of that is the point.
The point is this: The entrepreneurs I coach who scale the fastest are never the ones with the most resources.
They are the ones with the most resolve.
They treat every obstacle as data.
Every setback as a setup.
Every closed door as a redirect toward a bigger opening.
I know that because I lived that.
So reach out if you’re a start up or have a business & want to scale.
Tenacity is not grinding yourself into the ground.
It is knowing your worth, holding your vision, and refusing to negotiate your future with people who cannot see what you see.
If you are still standing, you have not lost.
Your story is not a liability.
The fact that it has been hard, (or IS hard), that you have had to fight for every inch (or fighting right now)- that is not a weakness in your biography.
That is the most powerful thing about you.
I built my businesses from an origin story the world would have written off.
I did it because I refused the narrative that where I came from decided where I was going.
And so can you.
