Kerry Ann Myrie manages and leads a team of over 40 merchandis­ers across the island. She is extremely focused on serving customers and ensuring they have the full suite of The Best Dressed Chicken, Hamilton and Reggae Jammin products readily available to satisfy their needs.

“With the changes brought on by the pandemic, I have had to adjust my schedule and priorities to ensure that both family and work responsibi­lities are met,” she says. “So, now I wake up an hour earlier for my personal devotions and to set things in place for the day ahead. A big demand is having to manage homeschool activities to ensure that my boys are keeping up with their assignment­s and learning. As a mother and working profession­al planning ahead of time is critical and having a schedule has helped to me to manage my time well and balance work and home duties. And, of course, having a supportive family has tremendous­ly helped me to keep pace.”

Myrie says the desire to see her children become strong, exemplary young men is her motivation for giving her best both at home and at work.

“[I want them to] make a positive impact on their generation.”

She also highlighte­d being acknowledg­ed by her husband for being his best support system, and knowing that her efforts on the job will help the team to reap success, as key factors.

Asked about the number one attribute that she wants her children to emulate, she said,

“My tenacity. I impress upon them to understand that life will have its share of curveballs to throw at them; however, through determinat­ion and a good measure of faith, they will be able to move mountains.”
