After completing high school, D’Oliveira enjoyed travelling and hanging out with family and friends, testing the waters of life and building her self-esteem and confidence until her business idea was birthed. “Even as a child, I always loved to wear things that are unique and stand out and as I grew up, I thought what can I add to bring out the best in my outfits and the idea came to me to develop my beautiful statement earrings,” she relayed to INFO 10.

D’ Oliveira describes herself as a dreamer. She said, “I live by the verse from the Bible that says, For nothing shall be impossible with God. In the next five years with the help of God, I see myself being the owner of my personal showroom also my earrings being sold in malls and boutiques around the country, I even hope to see my product on the runway both locally and internationally.”

Her encouragement to other young entrepreneurs, is to dream big, there is nothing you can’t do, stick to it, don’t give up easily, with dedication and determination you will achieve all you set out to do.”

She said, “like everyone I have many challenges, a major one being stereotyped or judged just from one glance by many has affected my confidence and even mental health. Thankfully I have a very large support system who knows my heart and who I truly am, so I’m constantly pushing out of the box of naysayers and moving into my confidence.”  She believes persons should buy her earrings because they are unique and makes you look beautiful. She posited that, “it brings out the best in any outfit, whether you want to dress up or dress down. It makes you feel confident.
