bb: what did you do when you left school?
MB: I worked for the Barbuda Council at the Women's Desk Art and Craft Centre. My main skill is in hair braiding, which I began when I was 16. I am one of the best hair braiders in Barbuda.
bb: tell us about your skills
MB: I braid in many styles, for example rope, single plaits, twists, Congo, extensions, weaves, and so on. I use different braids, human and synthetic, which come in many styles, including kinky, pony tail, French curls.
bb: braiding must take a long time
MB: Yes, sometimes it can take four or five hours. The cost depends on the time and the size of the braids.

MB: With braiding practice makes perfect and, as in life, if you do not succeed at first try try again.
