“I’ve always loved nature, nature is interconnected with everything else. A big misconception people have is that parts of the environment are separated,” says the Director of Science at the Hawaiian-based company Terraformation, Trinidadian Dr Shobha Maharaj.

Trinidadian Yishebah Baht Gavriel, a UK-based writer and storyteller, weaves her work with the joy and nostalgia of her island childhood in Trinidad. As a former English tutor at an after-school club, she found immense pleasure in nurturing the creative talents of her students, an experience that enriched her own literary journey. The arrival of her first grandchild, (to whom her debut short story collection ‘Clever Chrissie and the Mango Stories’ is dedicated) marks Gavriel’s self-discovery of her passion for crafting stories across genres. With a background in psychology, Gavriel emphasises the importance of sharing, a theme that resonates deeply in her writing.

I spent Mother’s Day in bed. Not because I was sick or anything, but because I just wanted to be alone. I didn’t cook. I didn’t respond to or send the usual, numerous greetings that society seems to now be addicted to, and I don’t even think I ate until much later on. I just lay in bed and thought about my children and gave thanks that they are all adults and no longer my responsibility. It’s amazing how edifying that awareness is for me.

Onika Henry at work.
In her time devoted to herself, Onika Henry enjoys the timeless company of the seaside. She goes to the beach to rest, read a book, and eat her favourite gluten-free snacks before submerging in the teal waters of Tobago, her home. While enjoying nature’s bounty and treating herself from time to time, the 52 year old is a single mother who raised her two boys into men: 30-year-old Akino Cornwall and 32-year-old Taariq Cornwall.

SABRINA FRANCIS
Hailing from the rural village of Madeys, St Patrick’s, in the north of Grenada, Sabrina Francis possesses a sound that she thinks is ready for a global audience. Soulful, sensuous, and silvery, she delivers a sound she dubs Afro-Caribbean pop. Equally as interesting as her unique fusion of sounds is the story of how the daughter of one of Grenada’s most popular calypsonians settled within this niche.

Teresa Cyrus
A devoted wife, loving mother, leader of her church and community, and dedicated teacher, Teresa Cyrus all but hides her superhero’s cape under the guise of being a regular, everyday, ordinary woman. Under her introverted, unassuming manner, her extraordinary abilities shine brightly, as she takes on balancing the demands of a career, motherhood, and an entire church. Growing up in Chase Village in central Trinidad, she remained there for all of her years, deeply rooted in the community throughout the various phases of her life, building and navigating her own story.

Nikisha Watson and family.
The rapid growth of social media has been a double-edged sword. While some find solace and connection in social media parallels, others feel unmotivated and disheartened by the unattainable curated reality.

Tishani Doshi
On Mother’s Day in T&T, the Bookshelf focuses on another kind of mothering: poems by a writer who lives her art to unearth, among other subjects, violence against women’s bodies that has become normalised. Over 50 women are killed in Trinidad every year, many of them mothers, all of them daughters.
