Out of Many One People: PORTRAITS

This image serves as an open love letter to Jamaican life. Although I was born in Canada, Jamaica is just as much my home and it is island that moulded me & my mother before me. The people of Jamaica are a strong, hard working,tenacious, resourceful, loving and creative people. These qualities are ancestrally instilled in us; from the likkle girl born to a British/Jamaican immigrant mother and a Kittian immigrant father, to the tribe of elder- women that raised me, and those I met in 2015: “Out of many, One People.” (Jamaican motto, on the Jamaican coat of arms)
