PERSONAL MILESTONE

Being a mother, entrepreneur & creator

I don’t believe in a single milestone. My greatest pride is my daughter, Zohra-Lisa. Currently, I’m celebrating the best year ever with my company, Hustle & Heart Consultancy and am on the verge of a dream project: producing the film Hotel Paramaribo. Each milestone reflects a part of who I am: a mother, entrepreneur & creator.

“Saying ‘no’ more often allows you to say a wholehearted ‘yes’ at the right time.”

BOOK

Mel Robbins & Issa Rae

As I am dyslexic, I don't read many books in the traditional way. However, I draw immense inspiration from conversations with fellow entrepreneurs, with women in our Sisterhood community, and from podcasts and audio stories.

I am a huge fan of Issa Rae, an American actress, producer and entrepreneur known for telling authentic stories and paving the way for Black representation. She is a great source of inspiration.

I also love following Mel Robbins’ podcast, and her book ‘Let Them’ is next on my list to listen to.

DAILY INSPIRATIONS

My daily inspiration is, without a doubt, my daughter. Everything I do, I do for her, driven by the desire for her to grow up in a world where she can take her place with confidence, freedom, and opportunities.

ART

The artworks of Wi Sranan

I am not a classic art lover, but I can be inspired by art.

The exhibition Wi Sranan, in honor of 50 years of Surinamese independence, reminded me of where I come from and why I do what I do. The power, colors, and stories behind the artworks connected to my Surinamese roots and culture made a deep impression.

BAG PICKED

Rebel Saddle Bag in Cognac

I proudly carry the Rebel Saddle bag in cognac. It’s a stylish eye-catcher that is simultaneously super functional. Compact yet spacious enough, sleek in design but with enough flair to stand out.

Ideal for networking receptions or when I’m on my way to an event - a perfect match for the ambitious woman who takes both her style and her schedule seriously.
