Cedella Marley will donate a guitar that belonged to her father, reggae legend Bob Marley, to the Island SPACE Caribbean Museum in Broward County, Florida.
Cedella announced the inaugural Reggae Genealogy music festival and concert event at Broward Mall this past weekend, where she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Island SPACE Caribbean Museum.
Cedella has not only contributed to the preservation of Bob Marley’s legacy but has also made significant contributions to Jamaican culture and sports.
She is the CEO of her father’s recording label, Tuff Gong International. She also helps run her family’s charitable organization, 1Love.
Cedella is the acting director of the Bob Marley Foundation, which seeks to deliver social interventions throughout Jamaica through educational and community development initiatives.
Additionally, she oversees Hope Road Merchandising, LLC, a Marley family entity that manages the rights to Bob’s name and likeness, and the Marley merchandising conglomerate House of Marley.
Up until last month, she was also a sponsor and official ambassador of the Jamaica Reggae Girlz team. She most notably helped fund the team through their surprise qualification for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
She is also a three-time Grammy Award-winning singer.
