ONE THING IS FOR SURE. I was born an Island girl. Born in a land of shimmering sunshine that dazzles blue oceans and throws sparkles on miles of golden sandy beaches. A land of lush vegetation where people work hard, play hard, and speak in a tongue so beautiful, it’s music to the ear. The sing-song lilt of the dialect sounds like the rhythms of the steelpan, limbo and calypso music for which the Island is known. Life in the dual-islands of Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies was happy and fulfilling and like me, it had many faces. A melting pot of nationalities, foods, and music that turns the senses on its edges reminds us that the life experiences that shape us are never just one thing. Even with its beauty and lush greenery, the treasured island had its dark side that overshadowed and cast spells over my childhood innocence. That duality of an island, figuratively and in reality, is where my story begins before it ends up in North America where, because of some of those early experiences, later in life I had to reach deep inside to find my true identity. That identity was stamped with my unique fingerprint that was determined at birth.
For years I found myself asking what is my TRUE IDENTITY? Who was I, really? Mar, Marie, Marilyn, Francis or the merging of all those personalities into one? To this day, when I hear the sweet sound of my multiple names and recall their unique memories and contributions to my life, I am finally glad to say that they’ve manifested and integrated themselves into the woman I’ve become. Confident, independent, idealistic, highly imaginative, intuitive, spiritual, and inspirational. Yes, indeed, each personality played its vital role and as life’s journey continues to unfold, I’ve come to discover that my true identity and probably yours, too, goes beyond just the meaning of a name or names, beyond DNA, geography, and even eyes colour.
One other thing that I do know for sure was best articulated by Oprah Winfrey. I am God’s child. I am that which is born from all that is; a spiritual being having a human experience. Connected to the source of all that is and all that is possible, I know everything is also possible for me. I deeply embrace who I am and who I am becoming and in being of service to others. As I seek to find a solution to problems or to be the answer to a prayer for myself and others, my core is nourished and I, too, am lifted higher. I readily use and will continue to use my knowledge, my voice, and my story to make a difference in the world.
Service brings significance to all whom it touches and style sparks a fashionable conversation to showcase my product. Therefore, I will serve with dignity and style fulfilling the highest, truest expression of myself as a human being with a purpose to fulfill God’s plan for my life. My goal has and will always be, to do the right thing. In the presence or absence of others, excellence in service, which in turn allows excellence in my brand, is a non-negotiable expectation. I want my legacy to depict me as an unforgettable woman because of the ethical life I lived. I want to be remembered as the person who did what was right as I use my service, my products, and my voice as a platform to transform lives. My brand, bound by faith and determined by God, is excellence in ministry as I willfully and joyously serve others allowing my service and experiences to point me in the direction of my purpose.
