What began as a personal journey into creativity grew into decades of expression, as she went on to write poetry and perform plays well into her 80s.Her words capture the real stories of a working woman during the Windrush era — stories of motherhood, resilience, identity, humour, and everyday strength. Through her poetry, she spoke honestly about life, family, struggle, and joy, turning lived experience into art that continues to resonate across generations.This book launch is more than an event — it is a gathering of community, family, and creativity. A space to honour her legacy, hear her words brought to life, and celebrate the reminder that it is never too late to follow your passion.Join us for an afternoon filled with poetry, storytelling, music, connection, and inspiration — where creativity becomes a bridge between generations and a celebration of the life she built through art.✨ What to ExpectLaunch of Hidden PearlsPoetry readings by Mertell Walker’s familyPoetry Reading Performance by Shavana Amara — Singer/SongwriterSpecial guest speaker Dilys Sillah — TEDx Speaker & 2x Best-Selling AuthorNetworking and community connectionCanapés and light refreshmentsVIP Breakout Circle hosted by Dilys Sillah — exploring creativity, passion, and purpose?
