On a warm Sunday gathering centered on celebrating maternal bonds, the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel played host to the annual Shades of Her Mother’s Day Brunch, an event that brought multiple generations of local families together to honor the women who shape their lives. Among the dozens of intimate moments captured across the venue, one particularly tender scene stood out, preserved in a photograph by photographer Garfield Robinson. In the frame, 7-year-old Aden Parchment wraps his arms tightly around both his grandmother, Ruby Smith, and his mother, Yvonne Thomas, pressing a gentle kiss to Thomas’ cheek as the three hold one another close. The brunch, designed to create space for families to connect and express gratitude, drew hundreds of attendees this year, with many participants noting that multi-generational celebrations like this have grown increasingly meaningful post-pandemic, as communities prioritize in-person time with loved ones. Organizers of the event shared that they launched the Shades of Her brunch five years ago to center Black maternal joy and create an accessible, welcoming space for families across Jamaica to mark the holiday together, a mission that has resonated deeply with local communities year after year.
