Having obtained training at one of the top culinary institutions in the United States Of America, Ms Jackson is a professional who 'showed up and showed out' at her event with her impressive showcase of a wide variety of exotic flavours, leaving quite an indelible impression on the persons who have attended. 

The event was held at Remsen Hall, Brooklyn, New York from 4:00PM to 9:00PM. It was well attended 50%  of whom were Vincentians. It is commendable to see that her own nationals went out in droves to show their solidarity  to one of their very own in this great milestone of her life. Persons from some of the other Caribbean islands such as Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago and  Jamaica also offered their support. Americans were also present.

The platform was opened with prayer indicative of the fact that Ms Jackson recognized the need to put Jehovah God first where her business is concerned. The event was officiated by well known Vincentian Junior "Soca" Jones who, in his capacity as Master Of Ceremony (MC), did a remarkable job to entertain the audience. Consul General of SVG to the USA Mr. Prince was in attendance.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF ALLONA'S CULINARY PASSION
In 2012 Allona took her first step on her journey to owning her food service business when she launched "VINCILLONA'S WEEKEND EATS AND CATERINGS." With the support of her family, friends, and persons within the Vincentian community in Brooklyn, NY, this venture was a wonderful and successful business for her. These early successes coupled with the joy she felt preparing the food she loves to cook and person's enjoyment of her delicacies served as the impetus  behind the her successful launch of her new company "LLONI" and reaffirming her conviction that she was born to cook.

A progressive individual, Allona went back to school to expand her culinary knowledge and skills. She purposed in her heart that she was going to hone the skills she's already possess, to learn the techniques of a professional chef, and expand her repertoire by including even a wider range of cuisines so she can better serve her fast growing clientele.

These new culinary skills which she has acquired were showcased at her event on Sunday.

Hurrah to the Government and people of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. I have to say this is by far the best news I have heard about my island since the year has started. I am so happy that persons who domicile within the Vincentian diaspora can finally wave good-bye to Grantley Adams International Airport, Barbados and fly directly to their island without having to fret about their delayed or lost luggage. Ah bwoy LIAT I will see less post on Facebook from angry passengers whom you have rubbed the wrong way due to poor services that you have provided them.

Wait ah minute let me not get too excited about AMERICAN AIRLINES flying to meh lil island so fast yet eh. I actually have a bitter-sweet relationship with this airline eh. Wait nah, it was only 2 months ago on March 18 that I booked a flight with this airline to fly from meh home city Montreal to Carolina to board the Carnival Fascination cruise ship and to my dismay my trip was ruined before I even stepped my feet on this aircraft. The aircraft reportedly had "mechanical problems" and left me stranded in Montreal.

Well I had to throw this experience into this good news because I almost got carried away by meh excitement that I almost forgot how this airline almost messed up my first cruise to the Caribbean.

Ah aint no hater of American Airline and I am not raining pon Vincy parade since we are far away from the rainy season. I am hopeful that I will be the only Vincentian who have had this unpleasant experience with American Airlines. Enough of my tongue lashing and time for some real benefits that are to be derived from this new development. Should I? Nah I will wait for the numerous Facebook commentators to talk the things them in my newsfeed and will return with the details for you.

Well I have not blogged in months so I am just dropping in to celebrate this milestone with the lovely people of my island.

Love always,
Clairon
