Amanda Clarida has lived an interesting life from her birth on the small Caribbean island of Trinidad, to growing up in the inner city of Philadelphia and now as a wife and mother to two young children in North Carolina. She has an ecclectic appreciation of music, literature, art and movies that is a regular source for discussion, debate and laughter. Life and education has set a strong foundation for this opinionated woman to share lessons learned and yet to be learned through events that happen around the world each day! Silver linings fade but lessons are forever.
