Q and A with Sashane from Portmore, Saint Catherine, Jamaica

“It does not matter what your color, shape, or size because it is about you and your purpose.”

Q: What are you passionate about?

A: I’m passionate about motivating and empowering people, especially late-blooming women like myself. I was always motivating and encouraging people from a young age, but when I looked at my struggles as a later bloomer, I realized that I could use my story to empower and motivate other women.

I love spending time with my family, especially my girls, watching anything about women empowerment and romantic movies, and just chilling at home. I am currently a full-time office manager, and I am a serial entrepreneur, published author, and an advocate for late bloomers. I am currently working on my second book and developing my motivation merch clothing line.

Q: What were your younger years like?

A: I was a late starter, but I never quit. I completed an associate of science degree in hospitality management, and I have certificates and diplomas in entrepreneurship, general administration, early childhood education, and coaching.

I came from a single-parent home with other siblings.

I always loved volunteering as a teenager. I am a former vice for the Portland Aides Committee Youth Group, Secretary of the Ascot Basic School, and Mentor with HEART/NSTA Trust and Women of Destiny Big Sister Little Sister mentorship program. This volunteering prepared me for where and who I am today. Because I’m more passionate about giving back. Today, I’m a part of the Women of Destiny family as an assistant mentorship coordinator.

Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?

A: I have learned that no matter how hard your journey gets, never give up on yourself because, with God, nothing is impossible once you put your mind and soul into it.

Never ever give up on yourself because you are here for a purpose, and your purpose will never die until you die. Keep going no matter what.

Q: What does feminism mean to you? 

A: For me, feminism is about owning your space and claiming it BOLDLY. Confidence in oneself is key. It does not matter what your color, shape, or size because it is about you and your purpose.
