Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow Scotland.

Still getting my brain around the fact that I followed someone to a gym 12 years ago and this is where it’s lead me to 😊

Grateful to have had this experience and to have had the love and support of people at my gym, past training partners, friends and family.

Met lots of new people and made some new friends too.

Thank you to @glasgow_2026 staff for everything at this games. The service was top tier.

Thank you to @jen_weightlifting @jamaica_weightlifting @omariemears_wl and the Jamaica Olympic Association for their support. Special thank you to @barbadosweightlifting for giving us a hand in the back room.

My village really showed up for me yesterday like they always have done and I’m forever grateful.

To my coach @mems_weightlifting and @mrbigfriday forever grateful to the two of you for supporting and believing in me ❤️🙏🏽

A huge thank you to @josie.mitchell_sportstherapist for keeping me intact in the lead up to the biggest competition of my life 💕

Congratulation to @holly_lifts @ollydodds @themanimal_omar @justbeyourself.always & @noorinn on their performances. Being at such a major international event with people you get to train with almost everyday has been a God send 😊

Walking onto that platform representing Jamaica 🖤💛💚 after 12 years of hard work… felt like life coming full circle. I’m leaving Glasgow with a full heart, new memories, and deep gratitude for everyone who helped me get here 🇯🇲❤️ taken in SEC Armadillo by @da.real.krys

🇯🇲 WE DID IT🇯🇲 COMMONWEALTH GAMES 2026!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I picked up a barbell for the first time in July 2014 at Royal Docks CrossFit. I had no idea then how much it would change my life.

My first weightlifting competition came in 2017 at LOWA, and my first Masters competition in 2020.

In 2025, the opportunity to compete as a senior for Jamaica 🇯🇲 arrived, and I jumped at the chance to wear the black, green, and gold.

Qualifying for the 2026 Commonwealth Games is beyond anything I ever imagined.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in me: @mems_weightlifting , @mrbigfriday , @chrisly_weightlifting , @sil_mwlc , @josie.mitchell_sportstherapist , and all my teammates at the club. 🙏🏽❤️

Thank you to @jamaica_weightlifting for giving me the chance to live my dreams 🇯🇲⚡️Looking forward to being supported & coached by @jen_weightlifting once again 💚

To all my friends and family, your love and support carries me 💞 🙏🏽

🇯🇲 BIG NEWS 🇯🇲
I have my eyes on the 2026 Commonwealth Games!

I’ve been given the incredible opportunity to represent Jamaica at a number of competitions that will allow me to qualify for the Games

This journey has been fueled by years of dedication, hard work and the pursuit of being the best lifter I can be. I’ve had multiple successes and wonderful experiences which has included:

🏆 2023 European Masters Champion
🏆 5x British Masters Champion & Record Holder
🥉 English Senior Championships Bronze Medalist

I need your support to get to the Games. The road to the games includes attending multiple qualification competitions around the world, and there is a cost associated with this.
The goal is to raise £10,000 to cover essential costs like flights, accommodation, physiotherapy, entry fees, team costs, and essential equipment.

Every donation, share, and kind word will help get me close to my goal of representing Jamaica! 🇯🇲

If you have any questions or want to learn more about my journey, feel free to message me!

Thank you for being a part of my journey and for believing in me.

Patience is still something I’m still learning when it comes to weightlifting 🫢

I’ve set myself certain main target numbers on Snatch and CJ and without hard work and patience I won’t get there, so here we go 🙏🏽

It’s still sinking in that this is where wanting to learn how to lift has got me 🫢

My back wasn’t feeling great but did what we had to do to come home with a total 🙏🏽

Coach tells athlete they are feeling a bit cold.

Athlete says I have a fix for that, come do some squats 😂

Phone died before the end.

Today’s sesh powered by @optimumnutrition_uk Amino Energy - Tropical Flavour ⚡️

The Amino Energy + Electrolytes cans have become one of my easiest boosts. It’s light, refreshing, and perfect for days when I need energy without committing to a full pre‑workout.

100mg caffeine for clean focus.
Amino blend to support training + recovery.
Electrolytes so I’m not dragging halfway through a session.

40 trips around the sun ✨

Stepping into this new decade feeling grounded, grateful, and more myself than ever.

The girl I used to be would be proud of the woman I’ve become and excited for the one I’m still becoming.

Here’s to joy, softness, courage, and choosing myself every single day.
