Autorenporträt
Who is Isabella L-Clarke? She is the third living child of Mr. and Mrs. Walter and Rosalie Pollard. She was born in the island of Barbados, West Indies, in the 1940s. She lived in the village of Sea View in the parish of Christ Church with her parents and nine other siblings. Isabella was considered to be a very intelligent, curious, and adventurous child by her neighbors. She attended the St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church for her spiritual upbringing and the St. Bartholomew's Girls' School for her early childhood and elementary education. She started school at the age of three. She had to accompany and protect her oldest sister Albertina, who was born with infantile paralysis. Bertha, who was the oldest girl in the community, took the responsibility of overseeing and protecting all the children in the community on their way to and from school. Isabella immigrated to New York City in June 1961. She worked in Head Start Early Childhood and day care programs while obtaining her formal education. After receiving her bachelor of science degree from the City College of New York, she worked as a paraprofessional in the New York City Department of Education public schools' system. She worked as a permanent teacher after receiving her master of science degree, her New York State Certification, and her New York City Certification in special education. She taught children with special needs for twenty-two years. Isabella L-Clarke is a seamstress, a mother of three children, a grandmother of five, a great-grandmother of eight, and a great-great-grandmother of one. She is also an international evangelist, an elder, and a contributor to the Ermine Holmes Trust, Children's Reading, and senior citizens' arts-and-crafts programs. These programs are located in the St. Jude's Anglican Church Community Center, located in St. Jude's, St. George, Barbados, West Indies. She has also been a retired teacher for the past five years.
