Nasha’s GNO
Heaven rains were ignored Tuesday evening as some 20 plus friends and associates of Nasha-Monique Douglas, brand manager, Heineken, stepped out in fab style for Girls’ Night Out – “a gathering created” according to Douglas -“out of the need for positive female interaction…Jamaica is lacking in mentorship and networking opportunities specific to women.
A few of us in the beverage industry came together about three months ago and decided we were going to start our own female lodge”.
Lodge brothers need not be perturbed! But Douglas is hoping that “GNO will grow into a more strategic organisation that creates an outlet for successful women to empower Jamaica’s young girls”.
