Our Family Story
Roots That Bind, A Legacy That Grows
Strong roots, mighty branches: our family tree.
The Tomlinson Legacy Foundation began with the deep roots of a family home nestled in the rolling hills of Carisbrook, Jamaica. Built by our grandparents, this home stood as more than just a structure—it was a gathering place, a symbol of resilience, and the foundation of countless cherished memories.
From early mornings filled with the aroma of fresh mangoes and guavas to evenings under the stars, sharing stories of our ancestors, this home shaped the essence of who we are. It’s where our family values of love, faith, and community were first nurtured, and these values continue to guide us today.
As our family spread across Jamaica, the United States, and England, we held onto the strength of our heritage and the bonds that unite us. The Tomlinson Legacy Foundation was born from the desire to preserve these connections, honor our history, and give back to the community that gave us so much.
Today, we are dedicated to building bridges across generations through storytelling, community projects, and shared experiences. Whether it’s capturing family stories, hosting retreats, or creating opportunities to support Carisbrook, our mission is simple: to celebrate the past, empower the present, and inspire the future.
Together, we honor the legacy of our family, ensuring that our roots run deep and our legacy runs strong.
