Why did you choose this name? What’s the significance?
Life is a journey and along the way we have these ‘Oh Hell No Moments’ that propel us into our future. We need to learn and grow from these moments. Which is why I ask all my guest to share an Oh Hell No Moment during my interviews.
What is the show about?
The Oh Hell No podcast is a podcast where everyday people who are leaving their mark on the world come to share their unique journey. I interview people who are living purpose driven lives which all started with a passion, and in some way they are providing a meaningful service to others.
Why did you choose this topic & format?
This topic is what I am most passionate about, I need to know why I am here and where I am going and I truly believe that my guests are my guides in some way. They help me to connect the dots in so many areas of my life. I invite guests but God chooses my interviews.
Podcast Experience

I knew nothing about podcasting before I started podcasting. The only tip I had was to be myself and do what felt right to me.
What’s one thing you wish you knew before starting your podcast?
I wish I knew that there are a lot of people that will come on your show and then not promote the interview at all.
What’s one thing you’ve learned about yourself or your audience since you started?
I learned that I make people feel very comfortable and safe and I respect and cherish that.
What has inspired you the most to start a podcast?
My insatiable desire for knowledge, growth and purpose inspired me to start a podcast and listening to other podcasts exposed me to this medium.
What’s the first podcast you ever listened to?
I can’t say that I remember the very first podcast I ever listened to, but I will say that the first one that comes to mind that I faithfully listened to when I discovered podcasts was Angela Yee’s Lip Service.

Small Doses with Amanda Seales, Drink Champs, Young Lion’s Dancehall Reggae Bashment, Friends Like Us, Carry On Friends, Style & Vibes, Blessed + Bossed Up

Fun Questions
What is the 1 thing from Jamaican culture that you cannot do without?
Wray & Nephew White Rum. We stockpile White Rum in my house. It is good for colds, wards off duppy and bad vibes and it is a great ingredient to take any beverage and some meals to the next level.
Share a fun fact about you
I love helping women discover their inner hot gyal with a pair of lashes which is why I started my beauty brand.
