Janette was born and raised in the Virgin Islands but lived in Baltimore, Maryland for over a decade. There she attended Notre Dame of Maryland University where she completed a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. She obtained her MBA in Marketing at the University of Phoenix, Columbia, Maryland Campus.
It was in 2005, Janette found herself emerged in the entertainment world gaining the opportunity to meet celebrities and learn about the ins and outs of it all. Coming from a small Caribbean island, she knew all so well that there would be artists of all sorts that needed a platform in which to be heard. This would also become some of her reasoning for perusing the task of her own publication.
As Owner of Caribbean POSH Magazine, Janette has managed to weave a distinct and inspiring path in the world of corporate marketing and entrepreneurship. She is also the Founder of the Caribbean’s first women’s empowerment event, the Caribbean POSHgirl POWER Brunch which is now in its fourth year. Through POSH, Janette has worked with or interviewed some of the most influential names in the entertainment industry such as Shaggy and Wyclef Jean. The brunch has been hosted by Yvette Noel-Schure (Beyoncé’s Publicist) and Grammy Award Winning Singer/Songwriter Angela Hunte. Gaining some accolades along the way, both the Association of Black Media Workers and the Caribbean Fashion Awards have recognized Caribbean POSH Magazine.
