It was a year ago that I was brainstorming about things that I could do to give back. I came up with some fairly good ideas but the one that stood out the most was to have a giveaway to honour a hard-working Jamaican woman. However, I had no clue of how to go about initiating the idea and the money to get it done.
Every day I'd open my blog journal and look at this idea that seemed ever so far from manifestation. That is until Thursday, April 21, 2016 when myself along with other brand Jamaica entrepreneurs were contacted by Mr. Demola Cunningham, Owner/Marketing Director of Button It Jamaica. He shared his idea of a Mother's Day Giveaway and the following day we were all in an online meeting.
As a group, we gathered our resources, time, and gifts. Which resulted in a successful Mother's Day Give-a-way. There was a total of 16 submissions for the giveaway; however, we could only choose three. Danielle Powell, Daryl Petrekin and Tiana Grant were the winners and each of them received a gift basket for their mother along with a free photo shoot from Dwayne K Smith Photography.
The sponsors who contributed to the fulfillment of this giveaway include:
Demola Cunningham of Button It
Carol Boddoo of Madison's Accessories & More
Tena Harrison of Pretty Little Things
Karrell Bennett of Bella Scents
Dwayne K Smith of Dwayne K Smith Photography
Devene Sutherland of House of Deva Bandeau
Monique Fitzgerald of Fitzgerald Boutique
Robert Bennett of Relic Designs
Chevanne Smith/Kreamy Kurls of Caught Between a Cream and Curl
Each gift basket was packed with love and featured an array of products from the sponsors. On Wednesday, May 11 we meet the winners and did the presentation at Devon House.

The winners looked so happy and I'm sure the mothers were excited as well. This was quite a surprising and fulfilling experience. I've connected with individuals who love what they do and are passionate about their brand. Firstly, I thank God. Cause trust me did a have nightmare about that idea in my journal. Yes! We did it!
