    Apr 13 2026
    This week, we are talking di tings with the founder of the Garden of Eden Foundation, Eden Marley!

    As the granddaughter of Bob Marley and daughter of Entrepreneur and former athlete, Rohan Marley, Eden grew up in a family whose cultural influence has touched every corner of the world. What makes her journey compelling, however, is how intentionally she has chosen to translate that legacy into something deeply personal: service.

    As founder of the Garden of Eden Foundation, Eden is dedicated to empowering women & youth by cultivating self-esteem & self-worth through education, the arts, mentorship, and authentic community building. Through her work, she creates spaces where youth can discover possibility, build confidence, and imagine futures that may not have once felt accessible.

    Eden's story is also one of cultural depth. Raised by a Haitian mother and a Jamaican father, Eden carries two resilient Caribbean identities within her, each shaping the woman, mother, and philanthropist she is today.

    In this episode, we explore the responsibility of influence, the importance of discernment and kindness with boundaries (we likkle but we tallawah lol), navigating identity across cultures and generations, our favorite Reggae and Dancehall songs, and the importance of planting seeds today, with the understanding that that may bloom long after we’re gone.
