With more than a decade advising governments and international institutions across Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, North America, and the Middle East, Darine brings deep expertise in women’s leadership, gender equality, and inclusive policy design. Her work has shaped environments where women’s voices, influence, and wellbeing sit at the center of meaningful change.

Her own journey through immigration, reinvention, burnout recovery, career evolution, and profound identity transformation led her to create the brands and tools she once needed herself, grounding, intelligent, and supportive offerings designed for women becoming the next version of themselves.

As the Founder of AFROA Beauty & Wellbeing and the host of STANDOUT with Darine, she blends modern leadership insights and emotional wellbeing, to support ambitious women in their late 30s and 40s who are navigating transition, redefining success, and seeking a more aligned way of living and leading.
