About Me

Hi, My name is Rondine Blackman, I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Barbados. I am the owner and CEO of EmpressDine’s Creations, the proud mother of two and currently living in New York. I started my business on March 10, 2021, because I became frustrated with the fact I could never find a stylish bonnet big enough or comfortable enough to fit my Long Locs, that could stay on my head at night.

Having more than enough time on my hands as I was no longer working due to Covid. I started learning sublimation and making bonnets as a hobby for friends and family as gifts, who encouraged me to start a business. After almost a year of research and learning to master my craft I felt confident enough to open my online store. I fell in love with the flexibility of being able to work from home and was obsessed with the need to help others who may be having difficulties finding stylish durable more comfortable bonnets like I was.

I'm a full-time entrepreneur and love what I do I love all things hair related and my goal is to eventually own a beauty supply store showcasing and representing with pride and finesse my culture so if you are looking for a bonnet or shower cap that's stylish, durable and comfortable look no further.

Special thanks to Noreene, Doc, Ronisha, Rondre', Saniya, Rodney, and Peter for your continued encouragement and support.
