Nailah John shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Nailah , we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first ninety minutes of my day are dedicated to preparing my seven-year-old son Kaamil for school and ensuring he departs on time. Following this, I engage in a thirty-minute Pilates session while listening to the radio. I then have my morning smoothie before commencing my work for the One Stop Wedding Shop.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Nailah, comes from a very diverse background, with a Degree in Law and used to work in Food Policy in Washington, DC . Nailah is a born Canadian, but lived her formative years on a tiny island in the Caribbean- St.Vincent and the Grenadines a chain of 32 islands. As a teenager Nailah moved back to Canada where she educated herself before moving to Maryland .Nailah got married to her childhood sweetheart Andre Prince and they both share a beautiful son Kaamil Prince. Nailah had this vision to start an entity that exhibits professionalism, and quality services and she embarked on The One Stop Wedding Shop which officially celebrated its one year anniversary on October 6th 2024.
The One Stop Wedding Shop is elated to share with you their new venture The Love Mosaic a new addition to the One Stop Wedding Shop which will be launched in the Summer of 2025., Many years ago Nailah’s husband once told Nailah you will be a match maker one day and she laughed at him. He said you are always wanting to find a partner for your single friends and family. Here we are 8 years later and this is exactly what she will be doing. Love Moziac will be finding life long partners for our singles in the SRQ, we will be vetting and interviewing all single candidates. Each single candidate will undergo a back ground check and will sign a code of ethics. We are delighted to bring something new and fresh to the SRQ, a much needed new concept to finding a quality partner. We look forward to serving you and creating magical moments for everyone!
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My earliest memory of feeling powerful is when I started my first non profit called Leave Out Violence in St.Vincent and the Grenadines over 14 years ago.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering teaches resilience, offering perspective and clarity, the clarity to understand that giving up is not an option. Through hardship comes success, and with it, the realization of who truly stands by you when you rise.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
The hope of a better world and the importance of giving back.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
My drive and determination stem from a desire to make a meaningful impact on the world by empowering fellow business owners and individuals committed to creating positive change.
