Meet Queen Gee!
Hi! I am Gillian Larmond, affectionately known as Queen Gee. I am a confident 50+ woman, entrepreneur, and business development professional who is building, growing, learning, and enjoying this season of my life.
I believe that life does not stop becoming interesting because we reach a certain age. There is still room to grow, change direction, build something new, learn from experience, pursue meaningful work, take care of ourselves, have fun, and simply become more of who we are.
In this season of my life, I am building my business, growing my container garden, paying attention to my wellbeing, connecting with people, having meaningful conversations, and making room for the things that matter to me. I don’t have everything figured out, and I don’t believe I need to. For me, living intentionally means paying attention to how I want to live and continuing to grow into the woman I am becoming.
Some days you may find me working on my business or meeting someone for a professional conversation. Other days, I may be in my garden, enjoying a cup of bush tea, out networking, spending time with people I care about, or simply enjoying myself. This is my personal space, where I share the experiences, perspectives, lessons, and moments that make up my journey.
My Professional Journey
My professional journey has been shaped by nearly two decades in Jamaican media, including several years as a radio broadcaster and extensive experience in media sales, sponsorship, relationship-building, and business development.
Those years taught me how important relationships are, how to understand what people need, how to communicate value, and how to connect people, businesses, audiences, and opportunities. Those experiences continue to shape the way I work today.
I am the Founder and Owner of Mystique Professional Services, a sponsorship marketing and public relations business helping entertainment and herbal wellness brands build visibility and connect with sponsorship and partnership opportunities.
Building Mystique is an important part of my current journey. I am bringing the experience I have gained over the years into a business of my own while continuing to learn, develop my expertise, and build something that reflects where I am professionally today.
My business is an important part of who I am, but it is not all of who I am. This website is my personal space, where my work, experiences, interests, wellbeing, garden, conversations, reflections, and everyday life can exist alongside each other.
My Journey: Where Wellness Meets Heritage
My interest in wellness began from personal experience rather than from a desire to become a wellness expert.
In 2017, a deep personal loss sent me searching for answers through plant-based research and natural remedies. In 2018, a serious personal health experience deepened my interest and made me pay closer attention to how I cared for myself and the choices I made in everyday life.
Over time, I developed a deeper appreciation for herbs, traditional Jamaican bush teas, and the knowledge passed down through generations.
Then came October 2025. After Hurricane Melissa passed, I looked at what remained around me and made a defining decision to begin growing herbs and food more intentionally. My container garden became another way for me to connect with nature, nourish myself, and make use of the space and resources I have.
Today, my garden remains part of my life. I grow what I can, learn as I go, enjoy my herbs and teas, and appreciate the connection between our relationship with nature, our heritage, and the choices we make to care for ourselves.
Growing With Purpose
At this stage of my life, growth has taken on a broader meaning for me. I am growing my business and continuing to develop professionally. I am paying more attention to my well-being. I am growing things in my garden. I am learning new things, meeting new people, having conversations, trying new experiences, and permitting myself to enjoy life.
I no longer see growth as something that has to happen in one particular direction. Sometimes it is professional. Sometimes it is personal. Sometimes it is simply learning to slow down, listen to myself, or appreciate where I am.
For me, living with purpose means being intentional about the life I am creating while remaining open to where the journey takes me.
This is the season I am in:
- Growing my work.
- Growing my wellbeing.
- Growing my garden.
- Growing through experience.
- Growing into the woman I am becoming.
What You Will Find Here
This website is a reflection of my life and the things that matter to me. You will find my experiences, reflections, conversations, professional journey, business-building experiences, wellbeing, container garden, Jamaican bush teas, personal growth, and the lessons I continue to learn along the way.
Some of what I share will be practical. Some will be personal. Some will be about my work and what I am learning as I build Mystique Professional Services. Some may simply be a story, an observation, a conversation, or something that made me stop and think.
Not everything here will fit neatly into a category, and that’s intentional. Life doesn’t fit neatly (smiles). A business experience can become a life lesson. A conversation can change your perspective. Something happening in the garden can make you think about patience. An ordinary day can remind you to appreciate where you are.
That is what I want this space to be: a genuine record of my life, my work, my experiences, my perspective, and the woman I am becoming.
