The philosophies that Chenica have learned through her own life lessons are the very ones that she teaches through her business. She instills those same values into her family which include her 3 beautiful children Marcus (21), Keaira (16) and Kyra (10) as well as her greatest supporter and the love of her life, her husband Mr. Mark Grant.
Chenica believes that with God all things are possible and without Him, she is nothing. Her favorite saying, “My life is not perfect but I am grateful that GOD allows me a new day, every day, full of new possibilities to be the best ME THAT I CAN BE”!
