President - ICF NYC Chapter

I'm originally from the beautiful island of Jamaica, W.I., and grew up surrounded by nature and with an amazing extended family. From an early age, people I knew and didn't know seemed to gravitate towards me and felt comfortable sharing their problems. I learned early on how to be a great listener, find solutions, and only offer advice when asked. I also discovered my passion for helping others.

As a coach and speaker, I motivate people of all ages through my one-on-ones, group classes, online training, shows, films and videos, live performances, public speaking, appearances, events, workshops, seminars, and retreats. I have also conducted self-esteem and empowerment classes for many businesses, charities, cultural centers, public schools, conventions, and expos.

Over the past 20+ years, I have worked as an entrepreneur, coach, consultant, and strategist with a variety of lifestyle, beauty, fashion, retail, hospitality, and entertainment-related businesses. Working with these executives and teams in these various industries prepared me for just about anything and gave me a full arsenal of proven success tools!

In front of the camera, I've appeared in many films, commercials, music videos, and tv shows. I have hosted and performed at live events, conventions, conferences, and radio shows. I co-wrote, produced, and starred in the critically acclaimed Off-Off-Broadway show "Goddess City". Currently, I am the creator and host of "The Antoy Show". where I share information and tools people can use to quickly transform their lives and businesses.

Behind the camera, I am the Founder, CEO & CCO of Mangoseed Productions-Beverly Hills, and Mangoseed Entertainment-New York. I work as a creator, executive producer, director, writer, camera operator, editor, graphic designer, content creator, and filmmaker. I also help clients with image, branding, consulting, web design, marketing, development, film, video, music production, and licensing.

Recently, I launched "Mangoseed.TV" an online television network that creates and shares transformational content. I am a published author in the anthology book "Say Word! Voices From Hip Hop Theater", "Best Year Ever Planner + Journal" and "Best Year Ever Goal Workbook". I enjoy writing empowering poetry, scripts, and books. I love creating inspiring videos, shows, music videos, and films. My past film proects include the short film Pheremones, most recent film "Gurl Talk" premiered with rave reviews at festivals in LA, NY & ATL.

For the last 3 years I have been able to share my experience, gifts and talents with chapter, first on the Community Impact and Special Projects Committees, then as Director of Marketing & Communications and now I am excited to be the ICF NYC Chapter's President. I look forward to working with the Board, leaders, committees and volunteers to make the New York City chapter the best it can be! Let's make it happen!!!
