Jamaican-born Cherice Williams is the founder of the hair care brand, Blaq Luxury Hair. The firm is known for products that include Mega Gro Hair Serum, Hair & Scalp Gro Balm, and Hair & Scalp Detox Bar. Her personal experience with the hormone disorder of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and the effects it had on the quality of her hair motivated her to develop an organic hair serum to treat the dry, shedding, and brittle condition of her hair.
Williams migrated from Jamaica to the United States in 2016 and was working as a housekeeper and waitress when she took matters into her own hands and decided to find a solution to her hair problems. She was determined to find that solution, and after considerable research, she made her first serum in her kitchen. She had just enough money saved to advertise her products on “The Shade Room,” a blog website, that quoted her a price of $2,500 for a promotion. She said she “took the leap of faith” and used her savings and rent money to go for it. She also shared tips on a natural hair group on Facebook with others with similar problems. Once she posted before and after photos of the results of her serum, which remains her company’s best-selling product, she realized that there was a market for her products. In 48 hours, she made more selling her product than the amount she had invested, and in three years, Williams sold more than 200,000 bottles of the serum.

She relied on experience and knowledge gained in Jamaica to choose the ingredients to use for her product, with Jamaican Black Castor Oil serving as a primary ingredient because it is organic and is good for invigorating hair follicles. The fact that the product is natural, organic, and includes over 20 essential oils and nutrients is what attracted the buyers that have made Blaq Luxury Hair a multi-million-dollar company today.
The mission of Williams’ Blaq Hair Luxury business is to enrich the experience of its multicultural consumer base and provide top-quality and results-driven products that actually improve and quality and growth of hair. All products are non-toxic and based on natural ingredients and never include sulfates, parabens, or silicones. The firm also allows its customers to shop for products according to their unique hair concerns.
Today, the company continues to expand and is working to make its products more accessible through mass retailers and beauty supply stores. It also continued to create innovative products for different types of hair. It plans to introduce its Nutra Grow Healthy Hair Adult Gummies with Biotin soon.

In his remarks, Singh who left Guyana in 1982, said that he worked in the logistics sector for a number of years and the decision to start up the business was an idea that was presented by one of his customers.
“We go above and beyond to make sure our customers get their product in a timely manner and at a good price,” Singh said.
According to Singh, the company’s five-year plan include massive growth and expansion and providing jobs for Guyanese.
“We are here ready to hit the ground running and continue to go above and beyond for our customers,” he said.
Meanwhile, in his feature address, Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill said Guyana is going to become a hub for “real connectivity” between the Caribbean and South America.
“We have to build out the physical infrastructure to facilitate that but we also have to be able to build out the technological and other infrastructure to support that and supply chain management and logistics is very, very important,” he said.
Since the PPP/C government assumed office, Edghill said they have been open to business.
And today, Guyana is experiencing massive transformation as it welcomes expatriates, international investors, and companies of great magnitude, Edghill said.

“The things we are doing now are multiplied…as a country we don’t need to do more, we need to do better and we need to achieve excellence,” he noted.
While all of this is ongoing, Edghill said the government has taken every step to ensure that as they entertain international investors, the citizens of the country are not “left behind.”
C.S World Cargo 2000 Inc. is located at lot 339 Cummings Street, Georgetown, and in its efforts to give back to society, the company donated millions of dollars to a number of organisations at the opening ceremony.
The beneficiaries were the Guyana Society for the Blind, Save Abee foundation, Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha’s shelter for children, Bal Nivas and the Cove and John Ashram.
Bal Nivas received $4M while $300,000 was donated to the Save Abee foundation; another, $93,000 was handed over to the Cove and John Ashram for the school fees of one of the students. The Guyana Society for the Blind, on the other hand, received a number of laptop computers.
“This is my brother twin, the guy that died is a twin, we can’t believe this. My mother can’t catch her length, we don’t know what’s happening in our family,” the distraught sister told the News Room.
Tyrell said the family received a call around 23:00 hrs about the accident.
“When we went, the vehicle was badly damaged and we had to rush him at the hospital.”
Li succumbed to his injuries at the Suddie Hospital. A Police investigation is ongoing.
Guyana currently has 14 oil blocks up for grabs in shallow and deep water areas offshore and with evident interest in all of those blocks, the government is stepping up efforts meant to overhaul the 1986 Petroleum Act.
According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources on Tuesday, an overhaul of that law and key regulations are meant to ensure that new investments are governed by “a comprehensive framework of international best practices.”
Last year, Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo said the Petroleum Act would be revised by March 2023; this is needed to reflect the numerous changes in the petroleum landscape.
The recent announcement of impending legislative changes, however, came as the government released new oil contracts and invited submissions on the contracts over a 14-day consultation period.
Those new contracts, deemed model Petroleum Agreements, should be inked between the government and the countries or companies that successfully bid for the 14 oil blocks.
“The draft Model Petroleum Agreements embodies rigorous research and analysis by the ministry’s internal team, and external consultants on all topics relevant to a modern petroleum agreement for Guyana.
“The process involved a comprehensive assessment of the current petroleum agreement and the identification of best practices relevant to every contractual aspect of a modern agreement grounded in the Guyana context,” the Natural Resources Ministry said.

Because of a lopsided Production Sharing Agreement (oil contract) between Guyana and an ExxonMobil-led consortium for the prolific Stabroek Block, the government said it is keen on guaranteeing that future deal augur greater benefits for Guyana.
In the new contracts, there will be separate requirements for qualification to participate in deepwater versus shallow water blocks for tender with a higher bar set for deepwater areas, which reflects the capital-intensive nature of deepwater exploration and production (E&P) and the highly specialised technical competence required for deepwater E&P activities.
Importantly, there will be a minimum signature bonus requirement of US$10 million for shallow water and US$20 million for deepwater blocks.
The minimum work commitments specified for the initial and renewal periods of the prospecting license consist of a combination of seismic and drilling of exploration wells with the fulfilment of prior commitment as a precondition to enter into the subsequent renewal periods.
And there is a participation fee of US$20,000 in respect of a block for tender in order to gain access to the virtual data room and participate in the competitive bidding process.
Based on previous comments offered by top government officials, the administration is hoping to award new contracts by the end of May 2023; bids should be closed in April.
Already though, the Natural Resources Ministry said all of the blocks have attracted interest.
“Official Expressions of Interests (EoI) have been received for all fourteen blocks for tender of the Guyana 2022 Licensing Round, demonstrating global interest in Guyana’s shallow and deepwater offshore acreage,” the release further noted.
Based on international reports, Guyana’s auction has attracted at least 10 companies including Shell, Petrobras and Chevron. The government has also been inviting countries to assess the auction and potentially bid for oil blocks.
At the recently-concluded International Energy Conference and Expo in Guyana, Vice President Jagdeo said each investor will be allowed up to three blocks.
