Jennylynd James

Jennylynd James was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago. She studied Food Science at McGill University, Canada where she earned a Ph.D. then worked in this field for over 20 years. Her work in the food industry took her many places including Florida, California, the Republic of Ireland, and Canada. In Ireland, Jennylynd developed a range of Caribbean style sauces and seasonings. She ran this business for five years with ‘artistic flair’. While in Ireland she discovered a hidden talent for painting and fine art. When the Irish economy crashed on the heels of a worldwide recession she decided to fold up the business and move to Toronto, Canada. Her tumultuous experiences while relocating and living in one country and the next, have motivated her to write a series of memoirs.

Jennylynd lives in Bloor West Village, Toronto, Canada where she has embraced self expression in art, music, and writing as her lifestyle.
