Unwind & Meet Your Guide

My Journey

Growing up, I always had a curiosity for the finer things in life, particularly wine. Over the years, this curiosity blossomed into a deep appreciation and passion for wine culture. Alongside this, I embarked on a career in the corporate world, navigating the challenges and triumphs that come with being a young black woman in a professional setting.
