About The #CAHMSeries
June is National Caribbean American Heritage Month (CAHM). To celebrate the month, I partnered up with my good friend Mikelah of Styleandvibes.com to present to you the #CAHMSeries.
The #CAHMSeries is a 5 part video series where we interview five amazing women on aspects of the Caribbean American experience from an entrepreneurial and the Caribbean cultural perspective. The questions that focus on entrepreneurship will be featured on Carry On Friends; and Styleandvibes.com will feature the questions focused on the Caribbean Culture.
All the Carry On Friends videos in the series can be found here.
Watch Mikelah’s video with Georgie-Ann here.
About Georgie-Ann
Georgie-Ann is no stranger to Carry On Friends. Last month she was a guest on the podcast where she discussed the challenges of finding your way as an entrepreneur. That episode and a lot of what Georgie-Ann said about the Caribbean family’s impact on being an entrepreneur struck a cord with many listeners. The reaction came from text messages, emails, Facebook and Twitter. See one of the reactions below:
