Our Story
How it all began.
Decades ago, in the 1980s, I became an orphan when my biological mother gave me away to a stranger at the Victoria Jubilee Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica.
Fortunately, this kind lady, along with her sister, not only fostered me but later legally adopted me and offered me a home, despite their low socio-economic background.
Growing up presented many challenges. I experienced low self-esteem and battled with identity crises, but influential women, including teachers, church mothers, pastors and mentors, played a pivotal role in transforming my mindset and igniting a passion for discovering my purpose.
Now, as a youth and children’s advocate, I’ve channeled the positive influence I received into establishing the Angelic Ladies Society. Through this organization, I aim to empower adolescent girls and young adult women, inspired by the support I received.
The society addresses the lack of guidance for vulnerable and high risk girls, offering resources and mentorship to help them lead successful, independent lives. With a focus on confronting negative societal messages, the organization provides holistic support, guidance, love and opportunities for girls across Jamaica and the Caribbean.
