PERSONAL BIO

Sonrisa was born on December 13th, 2000, in St. Kitts and Nevis. Growing up in Conaree, her early years were defined by a family that poured everything they had into her growth.

Her father, a teacher and skills trainer has always been her rock from childhood to adulthood. She still relies on the lessons from their long beach walks and morning meditations. He taught her how to treat people, the importance of exercise, of communication, of love, of finding the right mental spaces, of teachings and how to stay involved in the world around her. He didn’t just raise her; he shaped her perspective.

Her mother invested heavily into Sonrisa, ensuring she had the space to find her own identity through piano, dance, and modeling. Their relationship would be described as inseparable. Her teachings about the universe, about making decisions and about staying reslient in this world has always been the topic of conversation. Both parents simply wanted the best for her.

Her parents were most definetly her foundation and she constantly quotes "I owe them the world."

However, when Sonrisa was around 12 or 13, her world began to shift when her parents divorced. It was a difficult transition that required a strength she didn't know she had yet... though, looking back, it was only the beginning of what "life" had in store.

Fast forward to 2025. At 24 years old, on Christmas Day, Sonrisa faced a deeply traumatic and violent experience while walking through town to go home. In the aftermath, she felt she couldn't open up to anyone. She was left with two choices: let the weight of the trauma pull her into depression, or find a way to move through the pain.
