They are often called the Spice Girls.

Local entrepreneurs Shelly Ann McLeod and friend Amber Jackson Joseph are busy working on building their brand of peppers, spices and body care products.

McLeod started Kams Seasoning and Hot Sauce from her Sixth St. apartment kitchen two years ago and sales have been spicy hot since.

Her line of Caribbean-style seasonings and hot sauce are fruit flavoured and inspired from her mom’s recipe back in her native Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti.

“I have customers who regularly come back for my seasonings and hot sauce,” McLeod says.

The flavourful sauces come in a range of fresh fruits; which includes papaya, cherry berry, pineapple and mango. It sells for less than $10 a bottle.

She says sales of her goods have been encouraging and already she is involved in other enterprises.

McLeod with Joseph operate Shhhhh Design and Body Bar, which sells a line of organic soaps, shampoos, bath soaks, body oils and other bath products.

“All our products are natural or organic,” Joseph vows. “We have some new products that we are still testing on our friends.”

Both women are dancers who perform for the Collective of Black Artists (COBA).
