A Seat at
the Table With Four Generations by Clare-Louise McGrath
Mrs Francine Jackson, Jennifer Dilbert MBE JP, Rita Powell, and Elizabeth Powell offered Cayman Parent a unique multi-generational perspective on maintaining meaningful family relationships alongside professional success and the pressures of everyday life.
Over the course of two days, Cayman Parent was offered the unique privilege of a seat at the table with four generations of Caymanian women, who took turns sharing their own defining moments. From these, arose relevant conversations on empowerment, ambition, faith, community, parenting – and insight into what it takes to maintain intentional, meaningful family relationships while juggling professional success and the pressures of everyday life. This is what Mrs Francine, her daughter Jennifer, her granddaughter Rita, and her great-granddaughter Elizabeth had to say.

Sat with her at her dining room table surrounded by walls adorned from top to bottom with pictures of loved ones and achievements that illustrate an incredibly full life – she might well be right.
