As the granddaughter of Bob and Rita Marley, Donisha offers her insights on spirituality and the culture of Rastafari and art as a tool for healing and self-expression. Donisha’s role in the Canadian feature-length documentary, RasTa: A Soul’s Journey, educates audiences on the roots and evolution of Rastafari – quelling the many misunderstandings and misconceptions about this way of life.
Donisha explains, “Participating in the documentary helped me become a little closer to my grandfather's mission. He was not just a musician, but a freedom fighter.”
Her travels through the world, from African & Caribbean to India, Japan, and more has exposed her to many lifestyles, perspectives and stories that have helped to influence her ability to relate to a wide cross-section of audiences.
“At the end of the day, we are all souls on a journey . . . bits and pieces of the same whole.”
Donisha recently wrote and directed Earthworm, a short dramatic film that explores the use of cannabis as medicine for children and the Canadian legal system.
