After years of living the fast life in New York, I could so use a trip to Jamaica where everything moves at a more relaxing pace, except for the Olympic runners of course. Unfortunately, that trip will have to wait. The other night, however, I got the opportunity to celebrate my island side when I previewed the soon to be released documentary film entitled MARLEY. The film tells the story of Bob Marley’s rise to stardom along with his revolutionary musical, social, and political legacy.
We also chatted as a group with Bob Marley’s daughter, Cedella Marley, via Skype about her fashion line inspired by her father. Aside from her Dad’s overall message and spirit, what really inspired Cedella in creating her line was the fact that her father was’t trying to be trendy or fashionable, but yet he was.
Cedella Marley’s line is available from Zion Rootswear. She also designed the uniforms for the Jamaican team at the upcoming Olympics. The uniforms have quotes from her father written in the inside so that Bob Marley can always be with them as they compete. MARLEY will be released in select theaters, on iTunes, and On Demand coincidently on 4/20.
Talking about fashion and being true to your family’s legacy with Cedella Marley on Skype. She plans on using the profits from her clothing line to build hospitals and schools as her family has done for years now in the spirit of Youth Planet and Peace.
The island life! One Love!
