Rita Marley, Tanya Stephens
Veteran Dancehall songstress Tanya Stephens has paid a glowing tribute to the matriarch of the Marley family, Rita Marley.
On International Women’s Day, last Monday, Stephens shared that she had been reflecting on Rita Marley’s legacy for the last few weeks and that she was amazed at how much the icon had been able to personally achieve and endure.
“For the last few weeks my mind has refused to stop returning to thoughts of Rita Marley. Not entertainer, not Bob’s wife, not Bob’s widow, not heir, not mother of “X”…just the human,” she wrote in an Instagram post with a series of photos of the matriarch.
