I have come to realise that life is all about what difference you can make to other peoples lives, I want people to remember me for helping them in their life. Life for me is about leaving a legacy, a legacy that my son would be proud of. So yes I do charity work, and yes I coach others to cause breakthroughs in their lives, Yes I mentor others to financial freedom & time freedom by leveraging the internet and Yes I Love To dance !..

You see,
I was a dancing rebel…
Born in the 70’s in SE London UK to parents who orginated from Guyana, South America. My roots on my family tree certainly identify that I am fusion of all continents around the world (portugese, chinese, irish, african carribbean, indian). I grew up in a culture with lots of family parties and exotic foods, and it was in my blood to dance.
During my childhood I was a dedicated latin, ballroom and disco dancer and went on to win the London and Home Counties freestyle championships for 5 consecutive years and Im sure it was from being involved in this competitve hobby as a child that gave me the drive and commitment to never give up on anything I do.
After studying media studies at the famous BRIT performing arts and technology college where the likes of Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis and Adele were born I became an editor for Kiss FM and also got to perform and choreograph the backing dancers routines for various hip hop and dance music acts.
I then decided a change of career and wanted to go travelling. So I got a job in a business travel agency and yes had a great time enjoying the benefits travelling the world for cheap. I learnt so much from these experiences and made a promise to myself that I will never ever stop travelling. I became a travelling addict and also got to experience another way of living staying in luxury resorts and hotels. I knew back then this was the lifestyle I wanted to live and to have the freedom to go and do it. Staying at the Shangri La in Thailand, I remember having a conversation with a guy.. a very wealthy one and he said to me “you have what it takes to become very successful” and I said why ? and he said because “you are prepared to come out of your comfort zone to ask questions to find out about things”, this I thought either came down to the confidence I got through performing as a dancer or from being a social butterfly growing up in a culture with lots of gatherings.
On my trips I became very facinated how different religions had massive impacts in society around the world an although I was chiristened as catholic and my grandparents went to church, I was not one for following
a religion. You see, there was always some kind of rebel in me always trying to break free from what others expected me to do (even at school). I mean dont get me wrong, I am a very spiritual person and do believe in god but just did not believe that I must follow a religions rules because my parents christened me as a baby to be part of it. That was their choice not mine. I was more drawn towards the chinese methologies of spirituality. I went to Hong Kong to study Feng Shui, which then led me to start practicing Tai Chi. I cannot even begin to try to tell you that feeling of connectiveness I experienced whilst doing this at 5am in Victoria Park surrounded by the elderly. It was like I got that feeling of wisdom being a very powerful thing.
Responsibility hit me..
In 1999 I became a mother, and my whole life changed. I was truly blessed to have a beautiful healthy boy and named him Kai which means “sea water” in Hawaii. Hes a big boy now and we have a wonderful relationship. Hes into basketball, computer games, travelling and dancing ! His favourite places are Jamaica and then Dubai purely because of the big water park 
You see when Kai was born and I was on maternity leave from my job where I was working 9-5 in the corporate world of marketing I actually found this stay at home mum life really boring just sitting at home looking after my son. If I was living the lifestyle I live now well things would of been different as I would of been able to afford to do things during the day. But at that time I was financially struggling and my relationship with his father started to crumble. So I chose to become a single mother and go back to work. I became very career driven even more so as I knew I had the responsiblity of my son. I had to meet the demands of creating a better future not just for me but for my son kai aswell. I worked so hard, putting in excess work into my career to climb up the ladder. To get that bonus or payrise I took on more and more responsibility at work, all for the money which just went straight back out into childminder fees, mortgage and bills month by month. I got burnt out, depressed and my health suffered. My body systems went out of balance and I got regular panic attacks. I even passed out twice on the underground. I was having a breakdown. .. I knew I couldnt live like this anymore.
I took control over my life..
For 3 weeks I escaped from all the stresses of life that I was experiencing and sat on Brighton Beach, not the most attractive needless to say but I had a calling from within to be with the sea to put things into perspective and start creating my life… my future.
So on return to London I became self employed as a dance teacher and starting living my life on my terms. I had control over my life once again to do what I wanted to do. I knew I could apply my marketing skills from my old job into my own business to achieve success and spent thousands online learning the latest methods. Yes I got myself into debt when I first started but I didnt let that fear of not having any money stop me from making a success of my life and I was prepared to do whatever it took to get me there. I knew I was never going back to the corporate world ever again. However there was something missing..
On reading books after books I discovered that in order to create a life you had dreamed of you had to work on your mind, to get rid of any limiting beliefs that had been absorbed from living inside the box, get rid of any negative thoughts that were holding you back. so I got back with my spiritual side and started practising meditation as well as throwing myself into some intense personal development sessions. The rewards was great for my life, my relationships with others and for my dance school business. I was making a difference to childrens lives by giving them more self esteem, building confidence and providing them an opportunity to have a hobby in their lives. I was able to collect my son from school myself and not have to pay a childminder to do it for me.
Five years later my dance school grew to having over 1500 students per week taking streetdance classes simply by using INTERNET MARKETING strategies to attract the teachers and the students. I was in magazines month after month and also was interviewed on 8 radio stations. These strategies i used online can be used in any industry or business online. The priniciples are the same.
I soon realised that my knowledge in internet marketing was very valuable and went on to help entrepreneurs to local businesses monetise their websites, build a celebrity-like following online using social media and video, and drive traffic to their websites to create more profits in their business. With a passion in personal development My mindset grew to think BIGGER and I have since go on to speak at Channel 4’s Syed Rahmans creating wealth online seminar, woman internet marketers seminar in London and scheduled to speak at a seminar in Japan later this year.
FREEDOM is here and I love being a mentor for other internet entrepreneurs showing them exactly what I do how I now create income online & be of service to others so they can do the same to create freedom in their lives.
So if you have been reading my life story all the way from the start then I want to say to you Thankyou. Thankyou for showing your interest and I want you to know that if life seems like a struggle for you right now have faith in yourself and be commited to taking on that responsiblity to make it happen for you then whatever you want to achieve in life will manifest for you. You have the power to create what is possible !
