Artist Bio

I was granted a gift with an Artist vision, for style and fashion. I took an interest in
Activism, and through my work with marginalized groups, and being a Trans Woman,
living in Jamaica, I have learned that my work can take a different course into
greatness. My style and fashion now speak from a place of protest. My fashion
and style speak loudly, as I represent the visible population of Transgender
people living in Jamaica. I wanted to combine my interest in fashion with my
desire to do something positive for trans people.
I use my creative direction as a stylist to express who I am and how I want to
live my life. I use my work to give visibility to marginalised groups, including
the trans, non-binary and LGBT communities. I recruit trans, non-binary and
LGBT creatives as much as possible – hairdressers, makeup artists,
photographers, etc. I want to give them a platform to show their talents, and
an opportunity to progress their careers. I also got the opportunity to work with
Producer Nadean Rawlins and Multi-disciplinary artist Maylnne Lowe a short
film about an abuse non-binary child and their plight for acceptance and
redemption. I have also collaborated with Outburstqueerarts, EL ALO Cover
