Meet ==> BLACK HISTORY MONTH Entrepreneur DAMARIS MARTIN of SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES

By Clairon Haynes

In these challenging economic times it is important for our citizens to think outside of the box and find creative ways of  generating finance in a legitimate way. Gone are the days when the possession of a white coloured job was sufficient to be the sole breadwinner for families. A lot of factors have changed the game. Prices keep skyrocketing by the second, by the minute, by the hour yet those pay checks/salary seem stagnant as if  stuck at the same place with crazy glue. Welcome to the era when having several irons in the fire at the same time economically is a must.

Our 5th feature is DAMARIS MARTIN of SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES. Contact Number: 1-784-528-1978
Damaris Martin is a CERTIFIED school TEACHER from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (Caribbean). She graduated from the Mountain View Adventist Academy (MVAA) and the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Teachers' Training College. She holds a BACHELOR OF EDUCATION obtained at The University of West England. Recently she has launched her entrepreneurial venture TOPLINE CHIC trading in women's clothing and accessories.
HOW TOPLINE CHICK ALL STARTED
From an early age Damaris took keen interest in clothes and in dressing neatly and with sophistication especially for church. She and many others like her therefore found it frustrating shopping for clothes since the majority of what was sold in the stores did not cater for church goers. To her that was a void that needed to be filled but never thought of her as the one to do it. Not being able to purchase the type of dresses she desired at home she resorted to having her sister buy and send some “church clothes” for her. A brief illness around that same time however resulted in some weight loss. When the clothes arrived, they were inevitably too big for her. So there she was, stuck with a closet full of new, ill-fitting clothes. . She showed these clothes to a few friends who were keen to buy them and at that moment the idea for Topline Chic was born. 

CUSTOMERS WEARING TOPLINE CHICK CLOTHING
Those who bought the clothes expressed a desire for more “church clothes” and she decided to take that step and begin a boutique that caters to the need for conservative yet stylishly elegant church clothing. 
She took her plans to God and after much prayer made her first orders. One morning after devotions, the idea came to her that she should pay a tithe on the sales even before she realized a profit. She believed that was God speaking to her and so from the very first sales, even before making a profit, she by faith paid a tithe. She believes that God has been the driving force behind the establishment of Topline Chic and trusts that by His grace it will be successful. She intends to expand the product offered but for now Topline Chic caters for women sized 4 to 26. It offers stylish yet affordable clothing, shoes and bags. 

DAMARIS WEARING HER LOVELY OUTFITS
Out of adversity comes opportunity is the way Damaris describes the beginnings of Topline Chic. She is grateful that in her moment of adversity she was able to take hold of the God given opportunity to provide for others even as she provided for herself.
