As we continue our journey through GEM HERSTORY Month, we are honored to highlight a woman whose passion for gardening, beauty, and sustainability has significantly shaped the culture of GEM CULTURE - Fabienne Polycarpe. An artist, poet, and visionary entrepreneur, Fabienne is the Founder and CEO of Meni Beni Gardening and the Owner of Meni Beni Hair, where she merges her focus on wellness and environmentalism with her creative talents.
Fabienne joined GEM CULTURE as one of our Founding GEM Mentors and became an instrumental member of the newly formed GEM Board. Her contributions to the board were marked by innovative ideas and a strong sense of boundaries, helping to guide the organization's growth and direction.
Educated, with a background in construction management and experience in the field, Fabienne's diverse skill set has enriched her contributions to GEM CULTURE. Her guidance was pivotal in ensuring that our Culture's Affirmation and Moral Code of Law, both penned by our Founder RIMIDI, were not only recited during sessions but also became a standard practice in any meeting or space led by GEM CULTURE, including with our GEM Board of Directors. This practice has become a cornerstone of our identity, setting the standard for what we stand for and providing a taste of the culture to those outside of our immediate community.
Her influence on the culture extends beyond her board contributions. As a Founding GEM Mentor, Fabienne inspired our GEMS with her creativity and passion for service. She brought love, care, and a nurturing spirit to the culture, which continues to resonate with us today. Fabienne's commitment to serving youth and her dedication to the culture shone brightly, leaving a lasting impact on all who had the privilege to work with her. She was a true GEM, generously sharing her wisdom and passion with the GEMS we served, including her own daughters.
We honor Fabienne Polycarpe for her foundational role in GEM CULTURE as both a Founding GEM Mentor and as a Founding member of the GEM Board of Directors. Her commitment to sustainability, wellness, and empowering the next generation has left an indelible mark on the culture. Thank you, Fabienne, for being a pillar of wisdom and guidance in our journey.
