2011
I started my first official business, Nisbett & George (I had previously run several sweetie businesses while in school) in the final year of my fashion design and marketing degree while being a new mum to a 9-month-old girl. To my surprise, Nisbett & George gained a lot of momentum winning awards, but we sadly closed the doors in 2014.
​
2016
I joined Apple Corporate as a Retail Marketing Manager, but after spending nearly nine years there, I felt it was time for a change of pace, and the tech start-up world called my name.
​
2017
I joined a company called YADA and spent an exciting six months there building events and focusing on the brand's business development. However, I realised that I could no longer balance that fast-paced London lifestyle while single-handedly looking after my little one
​
2018
I joined world-renowned Electrolux, working on brands AEG and Zanussi. I focused on a career that was closer to home and allowed me more flexibility to spend time with my daughter. Family is very important to me and after meeting my fiancee and becoming pregnant with my second daughter, I realised that my heart was no longer in the corporate world and spending time with my family was more important to me
​
2019
I decided to take a leap of faith in myself, worked hard for a year, and completed my MBA at the global institution Cranfield University, where I was selected to be the president of the Women in Leadership Society. I worked on my MBA through the pandemic with a baby and preteen and learnt so much about myself and others through this gruelling process. I also started mentoring university students from my old institution, UEL and got the bug of serving others.
​
2020
Since completing my MBA, I started and scaled various businesses, from beauty brand Cocoista to The Thrivology Company, a Sales and Marketing Consultancy, but nothing felt quite right. As I tried different businesses for ‘fit,’ I realised that I was swopping my corporate career for another job (which I owned), and I didn’t want that. I wanted flexibility, freedom, and fulfilment to spend quality time with my family and create lasting experiences with them.
2023
I welcomed my third girl to the family at the beginning of the year and took some much needed rest with the little bubba. I continued my marketing mentoring work with OpenClassrooms and kept things going, but knew there was something different for me on the horizon. At this point it was important to not just swop my job for another job but for a business that truly allowed me freedom. This was my year that I did a lot of thinking and soul searching about what I wanted to do and entered panic mode as the thought of going back to work full time for another company sent shivers down my spine. I knew I had to kick my arse into gear and build a legacy that my family could be proud of…
Present
Fast-forward to today… I am expecting my fourth bubba, yes, I said it, fourth! I completed my coaching diploma and DISC certification with The Coaching Academy, gaining 100+ coaching hours, and honing my skills. With my background and experience, I have a deep love of helping other women succeed and this showed from coaching creative graduates as a co-founder of Nisbett & George to mentoring students from UEL and Cranfield. This has led me to starting Femmeprenista, welcome! And if you haven’t got it from the rest of my bio, one of my values is learning and personal development, so I am now embarking on my journey of pursuing a PhD in Black Female Entrepreneurship and focusing on supporting women (especially you supermums out there) to build businesses and create lasting legacies for your families whilst being fulfilled and creating impact. N.B. I should have known I would have had another baby as I seem to not be able to do a degree without a baby in hand! LOL!
