Hello, welcome. I am Gillian Larmond, affectionately known as Queen Gee, a woman in her 50s who has lived many lives, reinvented herself more than once, and finally came home to herself. This space reflects where I am now: grounded, intentional, and growing, personally, practically, and professionally.
Where I Have Been
My professional journey began in radio and media sales, where I spent nearly two decades learning how to connect, communicate, and build strong relationships with clarity and confidence.
Those years taught me how people make decisions, how trust is built, and how visibility becomes value. They also taught me the importance of listening, observing patterns, and adjusting strategy instead of forcing outcomes.
Over time, life asked me to slow down and reassess what growth really meant, not just in business, but in my body, my home, and my spirit. That marked the beginning of my Confident 50+ journey: a season of healing, rediscovery, and intentional reinvention.
Where I Am Now
Today, my life is rooted rather than rushed. My mornings are shaped by herbal tea rituals, tending to my container garden, and living at a pace that supports clarity and longevity.
Growing my own herbs and food in small spaces has become both a wellness practice and a reminder that sustainable growth doesn’t require excess, just intention. I have found a balance between my professional experience and the rhythm of the soil.
The same skills I once used in media sales: observation, patience, timing, and relationship-building, now guide both how I live and how I work.
My Mission – Grow Back Jamaica
In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, the importance of food security became deeply personal. Grow Back Jamaica is my commitment to showing that food and herbal security can begin at home.
You don’t need acres of land. A balcony, a windowsill, or a small paved yard is enough to start. Through my own example, I aim to help Jamaicans rebuild confidence in their ability to grow something: one plant, one pot, one small space at a time.
Functional Beauty – My Hands at Work
Crochet has been part of my life for over 30 years. Today, it is one of the ways I put my values into action. I create crochet plant hangers specifically for small-space and vertical growing.
These pieces are not decorative extras; they are functional tools that help plants access better light, airflow, and space. My hangers sit at the intersection of craft and purpose: functional beauty that supports resilience, wellness, and practical living.
Supporting Wellness Brands as They Grow
Alongside my personal practice and creative work, I also support wellness, gardening, and sustainable lifestyle brands with sales growth. Drawing on my background in media sales and brand strategy, I help small business owners turn visibility into clear, relationship-led sales conversations, without pressure or generic formulas.
I work best with brands that value alignment, consistency, and long-term growth. My approach is practical, personalized, and rooted in the same principles I live by: observe what’s working, support what’s struggling, and grow steadily.
