IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS IN ONE WORD, WHAT WOULD THAT WORD BE?
Me. Petit Squares combines all of my passions under one umbrella. She’s able to use her skills as a Business Analyst to maximize on matcha’s versatility.
WHAT IS THE GREATEST CHALLENGE YOU’VE FACED AS AN ENTREPRENEUR?
It was hard just trying to get on my feet. I had no money and limited opportunities. Matcha is also a foreign concept to Jamaicans. Persistence won the battle. I eventually met Mr. Bruce Loshushan, owner of Loshushan supermarket. He believed in my vision and gave me an opportunity to feature the products in his supermarket. His support has given me the start Petit Squares needed.
WHO INSPIRES YOU AND WHY?
Rhianna and Bruce Loshusan are my greatest inspirations. I admire Rhianna’s ability to hone her skills and venture into multiple industries. She’s serious about what she does and knows what she wants. It’s inspiring to see a young woman from the Caribbean living beyond limits.
Bruce Loshusan’s kindness and strong business sense also inspire me. He has been a mentor to me. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities he has provided me with. I hope that I can also help another business owner get a much-needed start one day.
