This is my abuela, Pearl.

Pearl May Hylton was born in Brown’s Town, St. Ann, Jamaica. A dressmaker by trade, Pearl loved to sew, garden, cook, and bake – all traits she passed on to my mother and me. A pearl symbolises wisdom, loyalty, generosity, integrity, and purity, and Pearl embodied all of these qualities. Her wisdon touched the lives of many in her long time walking this earth. Though she may not physically be with us anymore, her spirit lives on in me and those she blessed, and I am honoured to carry on her legacy.
