The Quarles - Portrait #5 “Finding Our Joy”. Van Quarles and his family visit Oak Bluffs each summer unfolding another chapter of cherished memories. Van Quarles, a retired Special Agent from the DEA, embarked on his Vineyard journey in 1995, captivated by its blend of history, nature and community. He brought his wife Valerie, to share this special place that she says “rejuvenates my mind, body and soul”. His daughter Brittney Jackson, a marketing executive has been coming since childhood continues to enjoy her visits to the island.

Van shares that from the moment he sets foot on the ferry at Woods Hole, a sense of serenity envelops him, a feeling he describes as ‘spiritual’ and unique to this place. He always stays in Oak Bluffs and starts his day, alongside his wife, for the morning daily group swim that meets at the Inkwell Beach.

On any summer afternoon you will find The Quarles on their cottage porch, enjoying the gentle sea breeze while telling stories, laughing heartily and greeting passersby. It is always a joy to see them because they are in such a state of happiness. They invite their neighbors to join them for a special blend of Ice Tea and some good southern cooking. An afternoon porch visit can easily transform into a long summer evening.

Van describes his summer vacation as a “place of happiness”. Valerie describes it as “Heaven” and Brittney loves how “it always stays the same” providing a sense of community and a summer home.

Through the lens of she captures their enduring commitment to family and to a place that brings them enduring joy. The Quarles are a special important part of our community - the summer visitors who make the island and the town richer with their joyful presence and love of the place and people.

Soulful Expressions #4 - Nikole Hannah Jones is a visionary, a trailblazer, and a champion of the truth. Her light shines bright in the darkness, illuminating the path toward a brighter, more just world. She has become our beacon of insight, truth and integrity.

A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, a bestselling author, an Emmy-award winning documentarian, a trailblazing professor at Howard, a constant advocate for social justice. Nikole transcends all her roles embodying a courageous commitment that reverberates through the annals of our shared history.

Nikole was our keynote at the first Juneteenth Jubilee Festival in 2022. Despite her in demand schedule, she showed up at our free community festival. Nikole spoke to a full house on the same stage that Frederick Douglass spoke to a full house 150 years earlier imploring America to end the evils of slavery. It was powerful moment that noted both the progress and how far we yet have travel on our journey.

Please join us in celebrating Nikole’s extraordinary contributions by heeding her call to action. Let us amplify the voices of the unheard, challenge the status quo, and strive to build a more equitable society for all.

The lens of captures her power, her warmth, her irreverence and her determination. In this portrait her unwavering commitment to universal justice and truth comes directly at us through her eyes as a challenge and a question.

Embrace change. Allow growth. Be open to the power of the unknown possibilities. The transformation process can be uncomfortable and even a little scary at times, but the outcome can be stunningly rewarding. This quote was written down next to my bed for over a year as a reminder to self to embrace the potential of transformational change.

Soulful Expressions Portrait # 3 - Dr. Jessica B. Harris an icon of American culinary scholarship and lifelong Oak Bluffs summer resident. Author of 20+ books, including 12 cookbooks, a memoir and her book turned into Netflix series “High on the Hog.”

Jessica has spent summers in Martha’s Vineyard from childhood brought by her parents who sought a loving and welcoming place for their family vacations. She faithfully and happily returns to the Victorian cottage her parents purchased in Oak Bluffs when she was just 8 years old.

She is a professor emerita at City University of New York earning her PhD from NYU. She was named Time Magazine “Most Influential People” and won the coveted James Beard Lifetime Achievement award. Her work provides profound understanding of the intersection of food, history, and identity. She transports us on a culinary odyssey, celebrating the vibrant flavors and enduring traditions of the African Diaspora.

On a summer evening walking through Oak Bluffs (if you are lucky) you may hear her laughter and lively conversations drifting through the neighborhood often fueled by her rich stories and “real talk” wisdom that is as effervescent and potent as the flowing sparkling rose on her porch.

A sage elder, a global trailblazer, a world renowned scholar, a cultural historian, a treasured neighbor, and a dear friend.

She has shown us that our most treasured inheritance is our connection to the shared heritage found on the plates and tables right in front of us.

The lens of captures her warmth, her wit, her generosity and her determination.

In honoring Dr. Jessica B. Harris, we pay homage to a luminary whose soulful expressions illuminate the path towards a more inclusive and flavorful world.

Winter is our planning time. Today at Rockefeller Center is Me and jewelry designer extraordinaire braving the crispy New York winter. We chatted all things fine jewelry for the upcoming Jubilee MV Season. Grateful to Sheryl as the first designer to support me on launching Jubilee MV last year with her products and guidance with 20+ years of experience.

Wearing her Lady Liberty Gold & Diamond pendant necklace on my whirlwind NYC trip. So wonderful to do business with people you enjoy, respect and learn from.

Ps - Our last shot is the blooper selfie when a sudden cold gust of cold wind made my eyes start tearing and swearing.. and Sheryl burst into laughter.
