We had the good fortune of connecting with Sherlene JeanBaptiste and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sherlene, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My now business was once just me casually posting my outfits. The thought of me showcasing my outfits and feeling confident in them. Is what shaped my thought process in starting my business. I thought of being able to help the average person with style and confidence, while still being my genuine self. To be able to pivot and try other ways to making my business a success. Working hard and continuously improve my work ethic and my innovative skills. These are some of the things that help shaped my process of gaining success ,and also being able to bring self awareness in style and satisfaction. Where all the thoughts behind the success of my brand.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As a creative I’ve found myself constantly improving my art. I continuously use my set backs to help redefine my thought process and the outcome I want for my brand. My ability to speak both languages English and creole occasionally set me apart in the niches . That I am apart of. I’m proud of myself for growing my following but mostly being able to impact so many lives through my creativity. Recently I have been invited to so many creator programs. Which I’m overwhelmed with joy to be chosen by these entities. Such as Amazon influencer program, Klarna influencer program and Walmart as well . Just to name a few. To arrive where I am professionally I have studied others craft and implemented some of there styles into my own. I have watch countless or videos of ways to improve and revamp my videos. To not only be appeasing to the year ,but to inform and educate while doing so. No it wasn’t easy at all. Remember it was just a hobby. So I had to wheel myself from that state of mind. Which to be honest I find myself back in from time to time. I’ve tried different methods which in result has help me in gaining my success. It has definitely been a trial and error for me. But most importantly I have fun doing it and I don’t beat myself up if I don’t get the results I wanted or intended to get .
Often I find myself getting feedback from my siblings. I always go back to the drawing board and reevaluate my core values and what I initially wanted.
One way I overcome my challenges is by seeking help. Feel the feelings and work out a plan. Never stop trying to improve yourself. Experience what I have learned. Make every moment count and to also live.
I want the world to know that my brand awareness is to help others to dress and love their authentic selves while seeking and improving who they are. To help others cultivate loving life and to change whatever they want in their lives to be present and successful day to day. To embody confidence and exude innovative throughout our lives.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Okay I’m excited for this one now let’s begin. Fist I’ll have them to stay at the Westin Fort Lauderdale. Where they can have breakfast lunch and dinner in the hotel if they so desire.
For lunch another option would be kaluz restaurant.
Dinner they’ll be eating at shooters.
They will then check out riverboat for lunch on one of the other days , then for night life fun spending the evening at Las olas.
They are a lot of water activities they can indulge in snorkeling boat cruise paddle boarding kayaking and also just laying at the beach.
