What is the name of your business and what inspired you to start?

Our business is  Authentic Networker . When I first started in business for myself six years ago, I didn’t understand how to listen to clients, how to prospect effectively, how to network, or how to feel like my business truly reflected me. The whole thing felt insincere and I made endless mistakes before starting to get it right. I decided to blog part-time about the idea of authenticity in business. When my husband left corporate a year ago, we decided to create work that we both love, and expanded Authentic Networkers into a multi-faceted business.

My business is called Diva Creations Skin and Hair Care Line. My skin and hair care company originated from my Jamaican heritage. Our tradition inspired product line was inspired from the teaching of my elders and family members from Jamaica. During my quest to find the answers to my WHYS, I have befriended many other elderly individuals from India, different parts of the Caribbean and of course Jamaica. I believe that they come with the wisdom and knowledge of how to successfully deal with particular ailments and what they used to use back in their country of birth.
