Think you know everything about the 'Emprezz'?

By -


 
Emprezz describes herself as a passionate, benevolent entrepreneur and media personality. She focuses on making ideas tangible realities.

How many of us can say we've started and successfully run a resturant (alongside husband Steven) ; a Jamaican themed clothing and accessories store; manufactured and designed new card games; produced multiple shows including her newest 'Talk up Yout' which can be seen on TVJ every tuesday @6pm, and much more?  


Emprezz gave us a peek into her life before returning to Jamaica.

'CHERRY'

Emprezz spent most of her high school years in Australia and during that time she was a member of a pop singing group called 'Cherry' and used her middle name 'Camielle'. The Group was signed to Sony Records and Warner Music. It was during this time that Emprezz aka Camielle 'found herself' asking many self revealing questions in the multicultural environment such as "Who am I?" "Where do I belong?" She spent two years touring with the girls in 'Cherry' before moving on.


Emprezz also had two records on the charts in Japan respectively called "Passenger 7" and "Lady Traffic".

Emprezz's take on World Peace

“ I can’t see world peace in my generation. How can there be world peace when people are so individualistic? When there is wealth there cant be peace, if there is inequality there wont be peace, people will feel anger due to history and come back for revenge. With wealth, monopoly and inequaity we will always be searching for world peace”
“My struggle and fight is for peace within myself, and within my circle. We cannot have world peace in Africa where intra African resource conflicts abound, and where most resources are controlled by the West."

"Big up to those fighting for the cause, there is a lot to do!"

The Pins and Tucks of Wrapping A Saree - A Jamaican's Cultural Lesson in India

Contributor: Diedre McLeod www.diedrevialife.com Globetrotter at heart, I amplify my Cultural Voice through travelling and indulging in customs very different from my own. One of my most awe-inspiring experiences was celebrating Diwali 2011 in Mangalore, India. Known as the “Festival of Lights,” everyone lights up the skyline with fireworks and firecrackers – excited that darkness was overcome and celebrating the dawning of light. No house or village is spared the festivities. But what was most exciting for me was seeing all the beautiful Sarees on parade and ultimately wearing my very own. The traditional Indian dress for females, the Saree, reveals as much as it conceals. It is also as complex as it is simple – especially when wrapping it! This delicate, free form dress requires a bit of practice (and a whole lot of pins) to get the ‘perfect wrap’. It took about 20 minutes to wrap (this was partly because I brought the wrong pins). The style my Saree w...

"Vanda 1" 2012 Kai Watson Kai Watson refuses to accept the notion of the "Starving artist" as, for him, the term represents a romanticizing of the struggle of freelance and the entrepreneurial efforts of artists.

Kai has a penchant for the delicate, beautiful, and expressive as exhibited in his latest predilections for topics relating to dance and orchids. He also appreciates what he describes as “the graceful power of athletes.”   "All is fair in the struggle" 2012 Kai Watson   When asked whether he would switch places with any of the subjects in his paintings, Kai told Cultural Voice that he was fond of “being in his own shoes,” and added that it was the uniqueness of the individual that was special in each work. "Unbridled Joy" 2008 Kai Watson   Kai shares a rich history of artistry in his family lineage. His grandfather Barrington,...
