Delores V. Mullings

Delores V. Mullings was born and raised in the beautiful island of Jamaica, in a small rural community surrounded by love, water, sunshine and all things natural. She immigrated to Canada as a youth and is blessed with a large family that includes two living children—Black queens. She is a multi-talented, no-holds-barred, unapologetic free-spirited proud woman of African descent residing in the Black diaspora. Her love of water, moonlight, and nature drives her desire to live in small urban centres and rural areas. Delores is a budding poet whose work is an act of resistance to racial violence and injustice, anti-Black racism, and white supremacy, while also embracing love, resilience, courage, and boldness like the fiery Jamaican Yahdie that she is. She lives in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, and is Memorial University of Newfoundland’s first Black senior administrator and first Vice Provost of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism.
