Meet Our Founder
Ms. St. Patrick (2025), Germaine La. Borde; a proud daughter of the Spice Isle, who’s making her mark with a refreshing message of Authentic Beauty. Through her initiative, “True self, True beauty”, Germaine invites everyone to dance to the rhythm of their own heart, and celebrate their quirks, confidently expressing their genuine selves. A champion of self-love, confidence, and unapologetic authenticity, she reminds us all that beauty isn’t something you wear – it’s something you are.


Worth
You are enough, just as you are.
Your worth isn’t defined by trends or validation—you are already complete, deserving of love, and valuable exactly as you are.
Uniqueness
Your quirks make you beautifully unique.
The traits you hide are what make you special. Embrace your uniqueness, because your individuality is your greatest strength.
Confidence
Confidence begins with self-acceptance.
True confidence isn’t about perfection—it’s about fully embracing who you are, flaws and all, and standing in your power.
