Recenzje

"These five Caribbean women entrepreneurs all have imagination and a distinct ability to bring dreams into reality. The common denominator is that they were able to excel away from home and they all had strong family engagement. Let them keep the Caribbean rhythm flowing!"-Judith Morrain Webb, Lecturer in Entrepreneurship, University of Trinidad and Tobago
