Meet
MONIQUE
With an interesting personality that mixes humour, sternness
and a whole lot of sarcasm, we approached this TPDCo
beauty for her permission to share her highly contagious energy
and insight on fashion and food with our readers. Check out
what Monique had to tell the TPDConnect team.
1. Tell us about your earliest childhood memory
At the tender age of two, I learnt my lesson to never drag my feet! I was on my
way to church with my mother one fine Sunday morning; I dragged my feet for
2 whole minutes after leaving the house. My mother stopped and said “Never
drag your feet”; it is safe to say I have never dragged my feet since.
2. What do you consider to be a perfect night out?
A perfect night out would involve close friends, drinks, food, music and beach.
3. Which song do you have on repeat?
“Sevana- Bit too shy”
4. If you could control your future, what would the crystal ball say?
If I could control my future, it would include success, wealth and HEALTH. I’d be a
successful Tourism Specialist whilst living my best life; happy and strong. Travelling
the world, catching flights.
5. Jamaica is known for its cuisine, what’s on your menu?
Some mouth-watering, seasoned to the bone Curry Goat
with either Roti or Rice and Peas cooked by a good
hand (lol). I also love indulging in Fried, Crushed Plantain
and the good ole Peanut Porridge filled with local spices
and sweetness.
6. If you could choose to remain an age forever,
which age would that be?
23 YEARS OLD. I feel that at this age, you’re old
enough to be independent and responsible, but
young enough to learn and fully experience the
good and bad of the world.
7. Who would you say is the most fashionable
Jamaican? Describe that person’s style
I would say the most fashionable Jamaican is Lisa
Hanna; she expresses herself daily within the
corporate world. You spend most of your day at
work; the best way to express yourself is through
fabric, textures and colors. She is the embodiment
of “Fashion meets Corporate”. Lisa Hanna wears
the clothes, the clothes never wears her. Trendy
and Chic is her personal style which allows for
versatility. She could easily leave the office and
go straight to happy hour on a Friday night.
