Gillian de Souza’s American culinary journey springs from T&T roots

On June 5, a unique culi­nary aro­ma, vi­brant pre­sen­ta­tions, and a spir­it­ed en­er­gy filled the FOX5 Wash­ing­ton DC tele­vi­sion stu­dio dur­ing its LI­ON Lunch Hour seg­ment (Like It Or Not), as Tri­ni-born Gillian de Souza made a guest ap­pear­ance. The seg­ment, ti­tled Cel­e­brate with Caribbean Cater­ers, was es­pe­cial­ly mean­ing­ful to her as it took place dur­ing Caribbean Amer­i­can Her­itage Month.

During my consultation with Ms Brafit CEO Nicole Joseph-Chin, what was supposed to be a simple mastectomy bra fitting became something much deeper. Her thoughtful questions unlocked emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding in. She comforted, reassured, and helped me face the truth of what was coming. That bra wasn’t just clothing—it was the first real symbol of life after surgery.
