And on Friday we gave you a preview of the launch of Nancy Marin's new cosmetics line, which includes skin and hair care products using ostrich oil. At the launch was Minister of New Growth Industries, Kareem Musa. Today he said that more entrepreneurs should step outside the box like Marin has.

Kareem Musa, Minister of Home Affairs

"Ms Nancy Marin as you know launched her O Cosmetic line over the weekend, I had the honor and privilege to join her and I want to encourage other entrepreneurs to dream big like Ms Nancy Marin, to do bold things that are not in the traditional sense, I know Belize has a long history of traditional crops like citrus, banana, sugar and Nancy Marin is one of those entrepreneurs who is introducing new products and her new product line is O Cosmetics, using a variety of ostrich oils fused with other essential oils so I want to congratulate her on her achievement."

Marin was offered the job of Director of New Growth Industries, but ultimately turned it down after what was reported as an attempt to block her by several Cabinet members.
