British-born Jamaican Eryca Freemantle is well-known in the global circles of health, beauty and makeup, particularly for her campaign for the beauty industry to take a broader and more inclusive strategic position by ‘Embracing all Tones of Women’.
Eryca is an ambassador for Professional Beauty GCC and International contributor to Professional Beauty and Scratch magazines and she’s always in demand across the globe. Eryca also recently featured in Forbes magazine. She has presented at many international events, including Professional Beauty UK, UAE and South Africa, Olympia Beauty UK, Beauty World UAE and Beauty Africa.
Eryca paid a courtesy visit to her friend, the Group Managing Director of Courteville Business Solutions Plc Dr. Adebola Akindele and she agreed on first request to speak with the staff on her story. Eryca was the 9th Guest Entrepreneur of the series and the 3rd female to share knowledge with the staff of Courteville. She was able to motivate her audience with the story of her rise to success and to further drive home the points made she was able to introduce two of her mentees who came in from the United Kingdom. Her mentees were thankful to have met Eryca who mentored them on how to grow their businesses which have been successes in the U.K.
Eryca is always quick to say she is more Nigerian than she is of Jamaican or British descent and she has been to Nigeria 23 times over the last 7 years.
Eryca and her mentees left the crowd with the following:
• If you think it, you can do it.
• Never give up! keep pushing yourself, the sleepless nights will eventually pay off.
• Always put your best foot forward.
• Persistence and family are key to your success.
Thank you Eryca.
