Melanie Skeete & Bianca Skeete – My Social Sister ltd

Melanie & Bianca Skeete are 2 of the four owners of My Social Sister Ltd which was established March 2020.

Melanie & Bianca had the idea to create a social media support company for small businesses. Mel has a Corporate Project management back ground at Unilever & Seadrill, & Bianca Social Media Lead at online fashion company ‘I Saw it first’ which she co-founded.

“Our other sister Anouska (Shop owner) came on board, then due to COVID last year pretty slow for us. We all work full time, 2 of us have children.

Our fourth sister came on board this year Alex (Teacher) and we re-branded and relaunched ourselves.

We now focus on empowering women, helping be the best they can be. We designed a 90 days self-investment planner which is selling really well and are offering support sessions and memberships. Also merchandise is on sale at Anouska’s shop HOST.”
