“Reggae music is consistently influencing the world.”
“A lot of people know Dad the musician. We've always known him as Dad - who could be corny, funny, serious at times, but would never spank. If he saw a tear in your eye, he would look the other way. That's the person that we know.”
“People will always need art and want fashion as a way of channeling their inner selves.”
“We live up to our father's ideals by caring for the earth and creating high quality and innovative products.”
“My father was the voice for the voiceless.”
“If you've ever been to Jamaica and experienced Fern Gully - I don't even know how many miles it is - but you just actually go through this gully that is just ferns to the left and to the right. It's very cool and misty and you smell different things.”
“I go into each day thinking, 'How can Daddy's voice bring about something? How can I make him more relevant today than he was yesterday?' I always come up with some really cool ideas.”
“Having the Marley name was like 'Oh lord, not them not these dirty Rastas.' That's what it was like growing up in Jamaica. I had friends who, if they wanted to spend the weekend with me, would have to tell their parents they were going to Jackie's house because their parents wouldn't allow them to come to my house.”
“Uprising Live!' is the first time I have heard 'Redemption Song' live, and, because it was recorded in daddy's later years, there was a certain kind of desperation in his voice, or more like, he wanted to be heard, and it was kind of urgent.”
“We need to be constant advocates of empathy and compassion - and, to lead by example for standing up for what is right.”
“One of my really cool memories is when Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five came to Jamaica. Daddy was the opening act. That was one time when I was proud to be Bob Marley's daughter.”
“I think kids love reggae music because there's something soothing about it. It's light and it's airy. And dad's music has a timeless message of hope and liberation and love. Even a 5-year-old can relate.”
“Miami is the backyard of our family. So it is only natural that we host events here and keep people engaged in what we are doing with our brands and for the people.”
“Daddy had a clear passion for humanity.”
“It just so happens that my father spoke through his music, so his voice and his music are one and the same. It's his living word.”
“My parents' approach to everything was through the lens of compassion and empathy. The only way to educate those who ridicule you or judge you is to teach them with patience and kindness.”
“I so enjoy sitting down and watching my nieces, my nephews and my son.”
“My background in fashion design is purely by accident. Touring with my brothers and sisters with Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, I wanted everyone to stand out.”
“I love to kick a ball and was super competitive when my brothers would challenge me.”
“I don't know what happens in other people's extended families but in ours we don't talk about half-brothers or half-sisters. We are whole. That was something Dad instilled in us.”
