While some gloat about having a “boss life” Blondie is the epitome of “Jane of All Trades”. Serious about her business, she went from a restaurant owner/caterer to an online publisher with a mission to showcase Caribbean entertainment in a positive light on her site Billionaire Entertainment Magazine. Get to know this fellow Caribbean Digital Diva!
What made you start Billionaire Ent. Magazine?
I owned and operated my first restaurant when I was 22 years old ; being a restaurant owner I was exposed to many events and business people. I saw a need for a format to celebrate people, like myself, the “unknowns” doing great things. Shout out to my husband for his help in making my vision come alive.
How do you determine the content for Billionaire Ent. Magazine?
We keep away for negativity and focus on positive people doing positive things in the Urban and Caribbean Community.
How do you balance your catering business, ItsBlondelicious, and Billionaire Ent. Magazine?
I’m still searching… I just make it happen. I have a hustler’s spirit, if I don’t grind my kids don’t eat.
How has the internet affected the way you do business offline? The internet allows me to do more in less time. Example PayPal allows me to generate bills and payments no hassle. So the internet plays a major role. It makes things so much simpler.
What advice would you give to multi-entrepreneurs?
#1 Make sure you love what you do, if it’s only done for a profit it will not last for long. #2 Build a reliable team.
What can we expect from Blondie, Billionaire Ent. Magazine and ItsBlondelicious?
The sky is the limit Billionaire Entertainment Magazine, we will be printed in 2014.
Itsblondelicious will continue to serve the Tri State Area and beyond with a Xclusive touch.
As for me, Blondie, my first born just went off to college to pursue his dreams of becoming a NFL player. My 2nd born has 2 more years to complete his high school education and pursue his dreams. So in two years my life begins and I will be televised (Stay Tuned).
What are your favorite social media networks?
I love them all follow me @billionairemag @itsblondelicious we on it lol.
How would you describe your style (fashion and business approach)?
Fashion; I dress my size after all I am a plus size diva. I have to keep it all in place (Fact).
Business approach is simple — business is business, pleasure is pleasure; I never mix the two.
Who are you vibing to right now (musically)?
Give me my old time reggae music (Bob Marley, Dennis Brown , Cocoa Tea) that’s still enough forme. Damian Marley, that’s my modern day pick I adore him.
