Jennifer Hallal

Born in London, England in the 60's, to a family of five. My parents came to England from the Caribbean island of Grenada to seek a better life and opportunity here. I also have an older sister and younger brother.

​

Our home was a three bedroom house in London where my dad worked nights and my mother had two part time jobs during the day. Looking back, things seem simpler then. 

I was the quiet one. I very rarely spoke as my sister loved to talk so everyone remembered her and my brother, the boutrous one always wanting to fight and play football. but me, I was happy either helping my dad tear down wallpaper to add a new wallpaper or doing any painting and decorating in the house. And also, helping mum with the cooking and cleaning.
