I can not post a single thing before I honor Dad, Desmond A. Lynch, who fearlessly chased his dreams and inspired me to do the same. He was an entrepreneur who taught me how to be brave, to take risks, and to embrace both the ups and downs of life.
Sadly, my dad passed away on January 21st, 2023, right in the middle of my busiest production time of year for Trinidad Carnival. It was a devastating and tough time, and I couldn't have imagined a worse time for his passing. However, there was no way I could miss laying him to rest.
With the help of some truly amazing people who came through for me in ways I will always cherish, I was able to make TNT23 happen! I am forever grateful for your love, support, and encouragement.
Special thanks to:
To my clients, I want to thank you for your understanding and patience during this difficult time. I know how important your projects are to you, and I am honored that you trusted me to bring your vision to life.
- student/client now friend - gave me a huge push the weekend before I left for the funeral. Because of her help, I knew I could pull it off. She sewed like crazy for me, staying late into the night, and picked up the remaining orders annd helped with delivery in TNT. Truly a special soul β€οΈNish, ppl better watch out for you every Carnival Monday going forward - I got you!
