For entrepreneur and deejay Odaine Small, fatherhood comes first. While he balances multiple responsibilities, being a dad to Tia-Moy remains his most important role. The 33-year-old wears many hats as he works to build a life for his family alongside Tia-Moy's mother, Trishanna Martin.

Beyond his work as an event promoter and a disc jockey with Stone Love, Small also co-owns a bar and cook shop with Martin. He further supports his family through Canada's seasonal farm work programme, spending months away from home in pursuit of greater opportunities for those he loves.

At the heart of that effort is his eight-year-old daughter, Tia-Moy. "That's daddy's little expensive girl," he shared with a laugh.
