My story

Wondering What’s My Why? Here It Is.

As humans, we dream, aspire, and desire to become. Yet, while some risk it all in the pursuit of success, others allow the fear of failure to hold them back. I have chosen to dedicate my life to helping leaders overcome that fear by equipping them with the tools, strategies, and confidence to build successful, impact driven businesses.


Born in Georgetown, Guyana, I was raised in a culture fueled by entrepreneurship—from street vendors to small business owners, resilience and innovation is our way of life. At the age of ten, my family migrated to Washington, D.C., in the United States, where I witnessed firsthand the stark contrast between business ownership and employment.


In Guyana, my parents owned and operated their own business, allowing them the flexibility to prioritize family. However, after moving to the U.S., they transitioned into employment, and our family dynamic shifted—our lives now revolved around work schedules rather than the other way around. This experience became the driving force behind my entrepreneurial journey.


Determined to take control of my time, financial stability, and future, I pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration at Florida Memorial University. While in college, I co-founded McKay’s Music with my husband, Charles McKay—a company dedicated to empowering the next generation of creators through music education. From there, I launched multiple businesses, including Buzzmoe, a marketing agency; Guyanese Swag, a lifestyle brand celebrating Guyanese culture through fashion; and K&K Event Services, a nonprofit event planning company supporting organizations in fundraising and awareness efforts.


Having navigated the challenges of being a multicultural, immigrant, female, and bootstrapping business owner, I am passionate about equipping others with the tools to succeed. My journey led me to mentor, coach, and consult fellow business owners in building and scaling thriving ventures.


Today, as a Business and Leadership Developer, my mission is to empower leaders and professionals to embrace innovation, communicate with confidence, and build sustainable businesses that create generational success—rooted in biblical principles.
