"Let me give it a shot. If it doesn't work, there's something else that's going to pan out."

That's the mindset that's taken today's guest, Debra Edwards, on an exciting journey around the world while building a successful career in entrepreneurship, fashion, and journalism.

A lifelong creative, Debra started her career as a fashion, lifestyle, and entertainment journalist. In 2019, she established DAE, a sustainable line of sandals ethically handmade by artisans in Jamaica. Debra is currently the Deputy Online and Lifestyle Editor at The Jamaica Gleaner, and the budding maven is also highly passionate about philanthropy and building a better Jamaica.

I've been lucky to be a part of Debra's journey and watch her shift into a higher self, and I'm so happy to have her here to share with you today. In this conversation, Debra shares what she did to step authentically into who she was as a creative, how authenticity has allowed her to blossom into a career that has taken her all over the world, and how she gives back to our environment through her creative efforts.

A creative journey often takes many twists and turns, and Debra takes us along with her, sharing so many gems you can reflect on as you continue your journey. Enjoy the epic!
