Growing up without a strong sense of community and heritage, she began her search for relatives in France, Spain, Puerto Rico, and Ireland. She eventually connected with those relatives and is now living between Paris and Manhattan, NYC.

Since then, Paradise has earned various awards for her outreach work including the 2018 Woman of Strength Award, launched the global campaign, #ICanBeBoth, went on to become a student at Harvard University (where she plans to earn her MBA, Ph.

A quote famously coined by Paradise herself, "You can sit in the corner and cry or you can go out and dance in the rain. Either way, the storm is coming" has been used around the world to uplift and motivate those needing empowerment.
