Tell us about yourself

Born and raised in Mozambique. Came to Canada in 2003. Married and am a mother of 2. It all started in Mozambique, watching and helping my aunt Ivone. When I came to Canada, some of my friends sampled my work, which was all the encouragement I needed to continue with my passion.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

One of my biggest accomplishments was a nomination and then winning an award. The initiative was from the Gabon Embassy, which featured amazing and hard-working women. It made me realize that people noticed my work.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Consistency to ensure I always deliver the best of my expectations.
