Meet the Visionary Behind Duttifoot ‘N Mavis
After years of balancing professional life in the U.S. with a deep connection to her roots, Lisa realized there was a need to preserve and amplify Caribbean voices in fresh, relatable ways. She wanted to bridge generations and geographies, to give younger audiences playful, meaningful access to their culture while offering nostalgic touchpoints for those who grew up with it.
From launching “From Island to Plate with Duttifoot, an educational wellness book, to developing vibrant product lines like Salt & Shade and Island Living by Duttifoot, (coming soon) Lisa's vision is consistent: to create culturally rich products that spark joy, invite learning, and continue to build pride.

Why I Started Duttifoot ‘N Mavis:
"I created this brand because I wanted us to see ourselves, loud, proud, funny, rooted, and wise. Our culture deserves to shine in every form, from books and T-shirts to classroom walls and stage plays."
