Lifestyle Concierge owner Rashawna Alleyne says corporate disrespect led her to entrepreneurship

“Because I don’t like the disrespect, I said okay… I’m just going to go and work on my own and that is how Lifestyle Concierge came about as a full-time role rather than a part-time role,” Rashawna Alleyne said. Lifestyle Concierge is a small business that focuses on real estate and accommodations, mainly for foreigners.

She explained that as a woman who often found herself in leadership positions, it was a challenge. She said she once worked at a company where she gained a managerial role due to her qualifications over a man who had more experience. It did not sit well with the man, Alleyne explained, and he circulated a rumour that she was promiscuous.
