Who is Jadora's Child?

I get a lot of questions about the name of my brand, Jadora's Child and while I answer every one of them, I thought I would write a post about the name and its meaning.

Growing up, I was raised by my Mom, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother.  But my Grandmother and Great-Grandmother both had a profound effect on my life.  I called them Mom-Mom (my Great-Grandmother) and Grandmom.  They were the epicenter of all that was good in my life for a long time.  Did we have our battles? Yes, we did, but their strength, courage, and wisdom still amaze me to this day.  They taught me how to be strong, how to be a good Mom, how to make the ends meet, how to cook and so many other things.  I don't think I would be the woman I am today without them and I am thankful for every moment I spent with them.

Mom-Mom and Grandmom died in 1999, 91 days apart and it was literally the worst year of my life.  Before that, I could not imagine living without them, but since their deaths, I've learned that all of the things they told me and taught me helped me to live without them.  I thank God for their influence and their love.

Jadora's Child was birthed from them - Jadora is literally their names together.  Janet, my Grandmother and Dorothy, my Great-Grandmother and I am and will always be their child.  Creating Jadora's Child initially began as one company, but I've realized that it really is my brand; it is who I am and who I will always be. 

​I am Jadora's Child and Jadora's Child is me.
