Our Inspiration
Laurette’s Legacy
Laurette was more than our mother; she was a beacon of creativity, strength, and perseverance. Born and raised on the vibrant shores of the Caribbean, she embodied the spirit of her heritage, carrying it with her into every endeavor. Laurette believed deeply in the power of creativity as a tool for empowerment and a means to overcome adversity. Her life was a testament to the idea that art transcends barriers—it connects, it empowers, and it inspires.

Growing up under Laurette’s guidance, we were instilled with a profound appreciation for our roots and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of creativity. Her legacy is the foundation upon which Laurette’s Lighthouse is built—a sanctuary for Caribbean creatives and a platform for artists and entrepreneurs who are often overlooked and undervalued.
