Grace Allia Hutson, also known by her stage name “The Olive” is a member of KAST Talent Management and is the next big thing for her generation.
Poetry, singing, rapping, acting and modelling are among her talents and for her, it does not stop there.
She aims to discover what other hidden talents she may have by trying new things every day. She found her passion for the performing arts by participating in the annual and biennial drama and music festival.
Hutson is 22 years old, stands 5’4” tall and weighs 115 lbs. She is a former student of Queen’s College and Bishop’s High and is currently attending the University of Guyana pursuing a diploma in Public Communications.
From there she intends to read for a degree in law to achieve her goal of becoming a family lawyer.
She previously completed an internship at Safe TV, Channel 2 as a journalist and will now be seeking employment at other media houses while attending classes.
Writing music and poems are not just hobbies for “The Olive” but also a mean of activism for self-growth and a platform to cope with the struggles of depression and anxiety.
“Many people don’t know this but every day is a constant battle to stay afloat in a river of emotions but I use my gifts as a reminder to myself that I’m here for a purpose which includes inspiring people like me who also struggle,” she noted.
She is currently an advocate for women empowerment and is part of the ‘Girl Build Girl’ movement spearheaded by Gabriella Chapman.
The #letsTalkWithGabby blogs will feature young girls with various struggles and recommendations to overcome.
Hutson’s intermediate goals are to take up entrepreneurship as a hobby and more excitedly, she will soon release a few songs. In addition, it is her dream to complete her book of poetry to be published and become even closer to God.
