Amity Baker-David

Amity Baker-David was born, raised and trained in the southernmost Caribbean state of Trinidad and Tobago.

Early 2022, after her father’s untimely passing, she migrated to the UK to fulfil her professional potential, a major sacrifice for her four children. At her first Trust, she was rejected, and humiliated just as Mrs Mary Seacole was rejected from the British Army in 1853. Like her, Amity was also determined to serve humanity. Ultimately, she repositioned herself in a better suited Trust.

She continues to push forward in the footprints of Mary Seacole.

“Mrs Mary Seacole is a lighthouse to me in uncharted waters.
She showed resilience and compassion in her equality in treatment in the 1855 Crimean war and in Jamaica and Panama. She inspires me to persist in fulfilling my purpose despite obvious discrimination in a foreign land.”
