This is done with immense humility and they use creative insight to make these unique interpretations in many mediums.

Some of us toy with the idea of doing the job ourselves - but honestly beyond jotting down some notes or capturing a few minutes of video, are we really up to the task of producing a polished end-product that will be a true family keepsake? In our case, it was a book profiling a beloved family member. Plantain handled the logistics, asked the probing questions, stood at the right distance to extract a compelling narrative…all with stylish results. Run, don’t walk, before those family stories slip away! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1601658008478-DNR8VKN8BOBBPYIQ4RPG/80389876_2859116160806305_8164885996819709952_o.jpg Testimonials - Connections Researcher and Founder of The Long Distance Grandparent I purchased an interview for my 79 year old father because he tells the best stories but we haven't managed to capture them and I worry I won't remember the details to share with his grandchildren one day. From start to finish the process was easy and meaningful. A lovely interviewer called my Dad and he was really energized by the chat and inspired to record more of his stories. I suspect I will be reaching out to Plantain again though because we all always talk about how we must record stories and never seem to get around to it. That's why I love what they are doing at this company. Everyone deserves to have their story recorded, remembered and most importantly SHARED with the entire family! Thanks so much Felicia and team! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1554580681973-HQKKTD9SDXP7GZCGSKU0/1111472.jpg Testimonials - Lorraine O'Connor - Management Consultant & Producer/Entertainment Specialist It was awesome working with Plantain on this project. I want the younger generations to fully understand what our family has been through to get where we are today and to remember that hard work and perseverance really count in life. The Plantain Team had the grace, knowledge, and patience to peel off the layers of our family's story, and were the Ideal team to work with on this journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1601657446865-MTQDWR68PYL5KSDXHWE0/Screenshot+2020-10-02+at+12.35.57.png Testimonials - Joe Pires - Managing Director, Caribbean Chemicals & Agencies Limited My Mom recently turned 85 and as part of her celebration, we ( her kids) presented her with a mini-bio of her life. Not only was the process to get the book done easy but The Plantain Team really worked FANTASTIC with us on short notice and we presented my Mom with a really beautiful tribute to her life, with some very old pictures we found, but also some sketches that the Plantain Team did of the building ( long demolished) where she had her first job...where they found images of that building form 65+ years ago is amzaing ......brought all of us to tears! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1554580687805-PWPVUFRAPKG0RGWTBS61/Prince-Tao-02-edit.jpg Testimonials - Tao Leigh Goffe - Cornell Assistant Professor of Africana and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies “Plantain provides an invaluable service to piece together family narratives. My sister and I ordered a Plantain Clip, 5 minute video, for Father’s Day. They delivered a very professional mini documentary. Even though my sister and I both work in research-oriented careers, it helped to have a third party independently visualise our family history. The team at Plantain put a lot of time and care into getting the nuances of our family story correct regarding enslavement and manumission in Jamaica. We sent them a lot of photos and audio and Plantain was able to find the perfect narrative strand, bananas. For this reason I cannot recommend Plantain more highly, especially if you are looking for a unique present that can be cherished for years and generations to come.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1554580683590-EG5LSZA5DYAWYDX4L40F/300-jeunanne-alkins.jpg Testimonials - Jeunanne Alkins - Founder, Everything Slight Pepper “I am continuously blown away by both the attention to detail and the authenticity of the product that the Plantain team is able to create. As I thumbed through the pages of the book that I had commissioned, I read the words feeling transported back to that moment in time, watching my kid brother in the story, and thinking... this feels as it was written by someone there with us 20 years ago; They have crafted a keepsake that touched us on a personal level, one that I will treasure forever.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1554581665001-IWWA3I6IXPY74NL4SYI1/bw+Jenny.png Testimonials - Jennifer Holder Dolly - Clinical Director: Dolly and Associates Ltd. “They took Frankie’s stories and wove a lifetime of experiences into an exciting story giving it historical context while capturing the essence of the man.

Felicia was extremely patient with us and her assiduous research gave us clues and hints to old family questions that we would not have been able to answer. The resulting package created by Plantain is easy for each family member to access and understand. But the most valuable result of the service was the sense of togetherness it brought us while working on it that we hope to continue.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1554580680569-DL9RO04BE0IBNU89NVN8/omar-dauhajre-circle-750x422.jpg Testimonials - Omar Dauhajre - Assistant Director, NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies “They’re a great innovative company, providing excellent products and great customer service!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1554580682572-LJ1KLF7AJFTSMQB8JZQH/Glenn+Wilkes.jpg Testimonials - Glenn Wilkes - Adventurer ‘“Help for a novice: Though I’ve always enjoyed writing about “stuff”, whether it was personal views or experiences, I had no particular ambition to write a book. The impetus came when Uncle Edmond, the last surviving sibling of my mother’s generation, celebrated his 90th birthday. It’s not easy to come up with an appropriate birthday present for a ninety-year old, so I designed a glorified birthday card, based on stories and pictures of his, and the older generation. It was a hit, and everyone at the birthday party not only wanted a copy of it, but were encouraging me to do something more elaborate - a book. I had heard about Plantain and approached them. It was all new to me, and of course I was new to them. Over time, with the interviews and discussions, we forged a relationship that went beyond that of “just another client”. I suspect I was a bit different, since I insisted that the end result had to be not just to tell the stories, but to make sure they sounded the way l would tell them. (Twice, after writing “dived”, it ended up as “dove”. Nah, I would never say “dove”, it HAS to be “dived”). I hesitated a bit, trying to decide whether my rating should be 4 or 5 stars, and eventually opted for 4, based on the criteria for 5 “recommending for anyone”. At my age (76), I’ve long come to terms with the vast differences in peoples likes, dislikes and expectations, to feel that my own views are “transferable”. I wouldn’t hesitate to give Plantain a 5 for people like me, but I feel that it might be a bit misleading for others “not like me”.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1554580683167-Y3TOISIPPMDRMBZ3EM4F/972340_10153145147965193_906323306_n.jpg Testimonials - Andrea Alkins “I was so thrilled to read the personalised book produced by the Plantain team about my son’s perspective of events in his youth. As a parent one does not always know how decisions made for the sake of the family will impact the individual members. It was very touching to read about the little things that meant so much to him and the subsequent effects on his life. Well done Plantain keep up the good work.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1555088610049-A6QH2I2NWPGDD7G2U0JX/Screenshot+2019-04-11+at+22.20.51.png Testimonials - — Cherisse B “The process was easy for me. I appreciated the reminders and quick turnaround time, felt more personalised than using a typical website. I found the questions were good prompts and the story flowed well when the finished product was provided. I learned so much about my relative and it sparked many further conversations about things we would not thought to have discussed. I see the value in preserving these stories while we can and will definitely engage for further products.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1554580683500-7LWLTM8RKIEDZ502VJX1/c805a79b-f5a5-4820-9461-86626576815e.png Testimonials - Florian Titus Ardelean “Your future self, kids and grand-kinds will thank you for reaching out to Plantain for their services!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1555088637001-ZY5KG1GOZFKXW492E8QK/Screenshot+2019-04-12+at+12.08.59.png Testimonials - Simone Jacelon “Plantain is as excited as you are to uncover your family story.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1554580685258-7LBDUCZ970EYBUW1AG3P/52601867_10161556537705230_8653382967042768896_n.jpg Testimonials - Lisa Kinsale “My family and I had the pleasure of working with Plantain whilst preparing our family reunion. I must say I loved their excellent work and dedication to the project. At the end of it all Plantain put together a booklet containing rich information about our family’s history. My personal favorites from the research that they did were that I learnt much more about my great-grandfather, about his lifestyle, where he came from and also that he pursued the same occupation as I do. Secondly and most significantly I found out where my ancestors originated from. So not only would I totally recommend them for future projects, but I’ll like to personally thank Felicia and Zaake for helping us discover so much about our family history. Congratulations on a job well done.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1667385804944-DSHF7Y5HEKNVJCAUDTIL/Screenshot+2022-11-02+at+13.30.35.png Testimonials - Damian Ahow While I did not have Plantain develop the content, I used their expertise to create a design from scratch. They customized the aesthetics of the book exactly as I wanted through their questionnaire about the subject's style and through my direct requests. They were very responsive to every question and request and genuinely cared about creating the perfect keepsake book for my family. I appreciated very much their flexibility in customizing the design and structuring the package to meet my needs. I am extremely pleased with their tasteful, elegant and professional creation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1554580686269-X5DOMF7WUULR50WVQTTQ/17098693_1745213579126676_1991503491870214020_n.jpg Testimonials - Alfredo Segovia Mancini “Plantain is a really excellent service and will do all possible to have the information that the clients need.

and in the early part of the present century, the JBSS was a very important organization to our poorer brothers and sisters in the island, as it helped them through co-operative and fund raising efforts to pool small sums of money with which to bury their loved ones, assist them through periods of hospitalization due to illness, and also help them in many other urgent matters. Before the days of funeral parlors and their refrigerated units, the burial of the dead was a traumatic home based activity, and burial was done within a period of three days, before decomposition set in or before the body “raised”. Poor people who were unable to find the money for burial, generally went from home to home, with a white saucer in which some salt was placed, soliciting assistance for the funeral expenses. It was such an event, when a dead man was not buried after four days, which prompted Andrew Duffus Mowatt (born at Dehaney Pen, St. Thomas on the 23rd September 1854; Methodist Class Leader and Circuit Steward in Spanish Town), a compassionate man, to take action which led to the eventual establishment of the Jamaica Burial Scheme Society, at Banbury, Linstead, on the 18th February 1901. It was the first benevolent society founded in Jamaica, and long preceded the Credit Unions, NIS, NHT and such other organizations. At one time, there were 160 branches of the society island wide, and also in Costa Rica, Panama and Cuba, where many Jamaicans lived. The JBSS headquarters, situated in Spanish Town, was destroyed by fire a few years ago, and has not been yet rebuilt.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1619699490287-0L2RZ0DJ1Q4EGXLS3ID6/Screenshot+2021-04-29+at+15.31.07.png Paula - Albertha's death certificate Date of death: 1971, May 28 Age: 72 Date of birth: c. 1899 (1898-1900) Place of birth: Westmoreland Spinster (unmarried) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1619781616945-MTCXET7YVSN4SMO6Z9AY/1917%3A+POSSIBLE+birth+of+Roland+Spence+%28TBC%29 Paula - Roland remains a mystery 1917: POSSIBLE birth of Roland Spence (TBC). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1619791059830-PL2FU7DIJFJI4HWK3RH0/Screenshot+2021-04-30+at+16.56.00.png Paula - Caroline Holness Death: 1957 Age 90: est.

Before the days of funeral parlors and their refrigerated units, the burial of the dead was a traumatic home based activity, and burial was done within a period of three days, before decomposition set in or before the body “raised”. Poor people who were unable to find the money for burial, generally went from home to home, with a white saucer in which some salt was placed, soliciting assistance for the funeral expenses. It was such an event, when a dead man was not buried after four days, which prompted Andrew Duffus Mowatt (born at Dehaney Pen, St. Thomas on the 23rd September 1854; Methodist Class Leader and Circuit Steward in Spanish Town), a compassionate man, to take action which led to the eventual establishment of the Jamaica Burial Scheme Society, at Banbury, Linstead, on the 18th February 1901. It was the first benevolent society founded in Jamaica, and long preceded the Credit Unions, NIS, NHT and such other organizations. At one time, there were 160 branches of the society island wide, and also in Costa Rica, Panama and Cuba, where many Jamaicans lived. The JBSS headquarters, situated in Spanish Town, was destroyed by fire a few years ago, and has not been yet rebuilt.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1619699490287-0L2RZ0DJ1Q4EGXLS3ID6/Screenshot+2021-04-29+at+15.31.07.png Paula - Albertha's death certificate Date of death: 1971, May 28 Age: 72 Date of birth: c. 1899 (1898-1900) Place of birth: Westmoreland Spinster (unmarried) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1619702447121-0IA2WZMBT3WP8YJ4SYEG/Screenshot+2021-04-29+at+16.19.32.png Paula - 1896: Ada Rebecca HARVEY Ada died on 27 Feb 1917 in Ashton, Darliston, Westmoreland.

What I remember about him is that he always wore a cap, and always carried a carved walking stick. He lived ten minutes on foot from us, and when we would go to see him, he would be sitting in a chair in his characteristic pose – upright like a stately older man.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1743427431338-NTJCZPZZ4EEUNADC02YJ/P2KWAC-23.jpg Portfolio - Arnold Piggott “Whereas my mother was the gentler, more lenient parent, my father was a very serious, firm and dogmatic man. He was bold and was not the kind of person to take nonsense. If he had a problem with the car, he would be at the dealership making a racket. He stood for what he believed in. But he was jovial, too. He liked to play cards and gamble but never wanted to see his children doing the same: ‘Boy, be careful… doh gamble on horse foot,’ he said, which meant, ‘Don’t expect to win when you wager on horse racing.’ My parents were both industrious and hard-working, and my father helped distribute my mother’s bread to shops within the closely-knit districts that included Bethel, Pleasant Prospect, Mount Irvine, Black Rock, Buccoo and Riseland Hill. But he also had other lucrative activities. He worked, throughout the years, as a shopkeeper, a taxi driver, and an animal trafficker – buying goats, sheep and pigs and selling them in Trinidad. During his visits there he would also purchase stock from Camacho Brothers on South Quay and have it shipped back to the shop in Tobago. He also drove and operated a Massey Ferguson tractor at Mount Irvine Estate five minutes away.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1743427510042-JIYBJWRVQVYBHUAEJD7O/P2KWAC-24.jpg Portfolio - Arnold Piggott “When I was in my early teens, I joined the Cadet Corps. At around the time of independence, in August of 1962, Princess Mary came to Trinidad and Tobago to represent the Queen. She came to Scarborough and inspected the parade of uniformed personnel, including the cadets. A newspaper took a picture of that moment, and you can see me there with her. While in the Cadet Corps, we also once travelled by boat to Trinidad to camp for a week in Mayaro, on the southeastern end of the island. Driving along the Valencia stretch to get there was really exciting for me. It was a long road that just kept going and going and going. In Tobago, roads like that simply did not exist. When we got to Mayaro, we stayed in tents in an open playing field opposite the police station. I was tasked with guard duty responsibilities one night. I remember taking a nap on a big wooden bench in the prison cell. That was the only time I ever came close to a prison cell.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1743427506044-T88LML4E38Y95V3K4TQ0/P2KWAC-25.jpg Portfolio - Arnold Piggott https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1743427581171-ND0CXJ2C3Q23HK0GRI0O/P2KWAC-27.jpg Portfolio - Arnold Piggott New York, New York. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1743427652027-ATA69Q9Q0557LN5UNQG3/P2KWAC-28.jpg Portfolio - Arnold Piggott https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1743427663885-AHDMH4E1TYFG2U8035JY/P2KWAC-29.jpg Portfolio - Arnold Piggott https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1743427740118-ENR6EQRLQW34RH08NJAW/P2KWAC-30.jpg Portfolio - Arnold Piggott https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1743427743157-YC70RKF7H91W6MKARJ8Y/P2KWAC-31.jpg Portfolio - Arnold Piggott “Having served for three and a half years as High Commissioner and Head of Mission, I was acutely aware of some challenges and gaps in overseas representation. Consequently, I obtained approval from the Prime Minister to host a six-day conference, where I flew our Heads of Mission back to Trinidad. I invited industry leaders to speak at the session. They included the likes of Ken Julien, Ken Valley, Camille Robinson-Regis, Wayne Bertrand, Noel Garcia, Richard Bernal, Conrad Enill, Robert Riley, Professor Anthony Bryan and Arthur Lok Jack. The objective was to give our diplomats a solid grounding in the country’s business strategy and to transform them into advocates and representatives who could facilitate business. We also told them that we expected them to uphold specific work standards, as in any other senior appointment in the public service. Our vision was to make Port of Spain the diplomatic centre of the Caribbean.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1743427927095-8MORY4VLJ58CJDQ2IGOH/P2KWAC-18.jpg Portfolio - Arnold Piggott https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1743427288223-YPQCEQ7ZFW48Z2L2Y51O/P2KWAC-16.jpg Portfolio - Arnold Piggott https://www.plantain.me/portfolio/peter-minshall monthly 0.5 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1737463532618-8ODP6KMFKSR3MCVIM9BX/Peter-Minshall-Olympics.png Portfolio - Peter Minshall Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in Barcelona, 1992.

They performed, for local audiences, plays that this small band of idealistic young writers and actors had written. In time, the theatre barge began towing another that now provided a living space for the group. Accommodation was necessarily cramped: my first memories were thus of spinach being drained by my mother into a tiny kitchen sink. There was also a playpen on the ship’s roof, where I would (at times reluctantly) share the square metre or so with Marianne, the daughter of another actor. Hence also a memory of a world constantly on the move: while the barge was slowly but surely pulled along this or that river, landscapes slowly unfolded as I played or quarrelled with Marianne in our pen. Did this give me a later urge to travel and explore? Perhaps.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1762165198292-GKEG72GCUZV6WRXA7YE0/A%2BDemocrat_s%2BPage30-31_3.jpg Portfolio - A Democrat's Journey: John De Coninck “Much later, the underside of my father’s extraordinary endeavour became clearer. Some of the expenses had been underwritten by the powerful Belgian mining company as part of a corporate social responsibility agenda (though not known as such in those far-gone days). It was the same company (partly owned by the Belgian royal family) that had brought much wealth to the ‘mother country’, leaving the crumbs for the colonised people and to fund Belgium’s ‘civilising mission’. It then became clear how my father’s work fitted in with the paternalistic agenda espoused by the colonial authorities.“ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1708435701347-AEKXRN6BX5J96XYH9F7T/A+Democrat_s+Page42-43_6.jpg Portfolio - A Democrat's Journey: John De Coninck “The staff complement consisted of a disparate group of lecturers attracted to Juba for various reasons: experienced expatriate professors with a passion for the region, young Sudanese academics (including two teaching assistants I was to supervise) looking for a start to their career, as well as other staff who could find nowhere else to go. All lived on campus, some (like us) in modernised tin rondavels. Our little house was nevertheless much loved, though regularly infested by scorpions and snakes... The social life was inward-looking, much as it had been at Makerere. Still, long-term friendships, cemented by our experiences of living in a very challenging environment, were also created.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1708436593889-BYNBGSVYJCDM69BZBITK/A+Democrat_s+Page50-51_12.jpg Portfolio - A Democrat's Journey: John De Coninck “A new mode of life appeared in Kampala: most commuters walked back home (public transport no longer existed) in the early afternoon, and by 4 pm, the town was deserted. By 6, the nightly din of gunfire had started. A rare vehicle could be heard speeding, and occasional screams too. Appalling sweeps (‘panda gali’ – ‘get into the truck’ in Swahili) and the jailing of innocent people (many never to be seen again) became the hallmark of the regime in place. It fired popular resistance that eventually led to an armed insurrection commanded by a certain Yoweri Museveni.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1708435368697-33EW33FXP6SJWW5QEE2L/A+Democrat_s+Cover_1.jpg Portfolio - A Democrat's Journey: John De Coninck https://www.plantain.me/portfolio/edrisse monthly 0.5 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1564491644834-ASZ8IDI1WARI1B4WN2AG/1.+Grey+Linen+with+White+Foil+for+Personalised+Memoir.jpg Portfolio - Edrisse “There are stories within us all and these guys are the ones to capture them in beautiful bespoke books.

So everybody is at the table and my father says, “Something happened today at the board meeting.” Then he calls out, "FRANKLYN!"

Woodbrook was one of the better-organised areas of the city and we have fond memories of the place. We were in a very stable environment. And I won’t go into detail, but you would find trouble wherever Frankie was. Nothing too serious though.

The impetus came when Uncle Edmond, the last surviving sibling of my mother's generation, celebrated his 90th birthday. It's not easy to come up with an appropriate birthday present for a ninety-year old, so I designed a glorified birthday card, based on stories and pictures of his, and the older generation. It was a hit, and everyone at the birthday party not only wanted a copy of it, but were encouraging me to do something more elaborate — a book. I had heard about Plantain and approached them. It was all new to me, and of course I was new to them. Over time, with the interviews and discussions, we forged a relationship that went beyond that of "just another client." — Glenn Wilkes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1610805772768-MFKYN2HV42Q78ACHPT9X/Plantain1666+new.jpg Portfolio - Harts: A Collection of Short Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1564491853645-TITMGC9NG1ACXT68GC8L/1.+Black+Softcover+Beautiful+Spine.jpg Portfolio - Harts: A Collection of Short Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1564491856957-02A3EC2E4841VI0I7TOV/4.+Fully+Personalised+and+Customised+Design+and+Content.jpg Portfolio - Harts: A Collection of Short Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1564491859954-C1WC2A9RJVYX8J8867YD/5.+Beautiful+and+Personalised+Family+Tree.jpg Portfolio - Harts: A Collection of Short Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1564491860186-DX2ZSXUIIZJZT1OZJ3FF/6.+Generation+of+Family+on+Steps+Captured+for+a+Family+History+Book.jpg Portfolio - Harts: A Collection of Short Stories “The Harts, on the other hand, are kinda like a Carnival band...on J’ouvert morning…” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1564491862955-DJRF4BZTUHX95U7FS2GK/7.+Memoir+of+a+Footballer%27s+Life.jpg Portfolio - Harts: A Collection of Short Stories “It was Daddy’s football skills, rather than his education, that got him a ‘good job’ with the Secretarial Department of United British Oilfields (UBOT).

They researched information about our family which gave more depth to our book "The Ladder We Ascend" and painstakingly worked with the family during the Covid 19 period 2020 to 2022 as the book spanned over a 100 year period (1899 to 2021) to weave a multilayered book. The book was evocative, inspiring, interspersed with intrigue and championed family support, love and resilience. One reader shared that it prompted him to begin his startup business. There are many pleasant, funny, motivational takeaways from the book spanning 4 generations. Plantain did us well. Thank You immensely… — Cheryl Bowles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839306977-YBIRC5RWTX3OOHZDXMT6/LMKWAC-2.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839330977-ZLOG1XYFBMJLA6TVQUBW/LMKWAC-5.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839413170-43JH6G7XS7N1QWP89FJ3/ZGKWAC-13.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839338930-ZBG81JVKE6KW6PMGZEYW/LMKWAC-7.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839340034-VV3JESWDJLU4MMLO3I7L/LMKWAC-8.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839347143-HJ5OIJEXUD9KG2IN6J71/LMKWAC-9.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839358128-IVHLLTQCOUE2PP416EQB/LMKWAC-11.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839360096-WLBVAMMV9TBTFT8X3CVX/LMKWAC-12.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839367048-SH79M3PSPJRQB8FGGZUX/LMKWAC-13.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839369744-7X132J0MGGH9INW58WPH/LMKWAC-14.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839374274-A06Q35NMJAUH5KYK7072/LMKWAC-15.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839379126-79UUYFDRMTNAB5CVW3K3/LMKWAC-16.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839384972-P2TY6UBYLPXVKZ4VABCA/LMKWAC-17.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839387358-A2XXCVL5CJYONPOUYHOG/LMKWAC-18.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839395218-TSPIDH5SH3MRFPO3Y32Z/LMKWAC-19.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839398110-NWU24KYZJJBZTAFTOPAD/LMKWAC-20.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839406333-YZU6FK3UC8BAS7H6MZYA/LMKWAC-21.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1672839406344-KKW7RAXVSOWOUJCPHYYQ/LMKWAC-22.jpg Portfolio - The Ladder We Ascend / Cher-Mère https://www.plantain.me/portfolio/emile-elias monthly 0.5 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/504c99aee4b02ca5e4b77a1f/1564491918098-8GEJ1AO0OVSZ56XVALWE/1.+Softcover+Book+with+Metallic+Pantones+Celebrating+a+50+Year+Company+Anniversary.jpg Portfolio - Do Right & Prosper: A Company History Book “Plantain’s passion fuels their ability to listen deeply to the many facets of a story, and their sheer determination and unwavering integrity bring these stories to life in a way that they can be accessed by all.
