The Story Behind Jubilee
Zanzibar, TanzaniaHi! I'm Jubilee, and I'm grateful you've found yourself here.
Here is my honest attempt at honoring the incredible people I met in Tanzania through shells I gathered along the shores of Zanzibar. This is small compared to what I experienced there, but it's where I can begin.
Welcome!
Tanzania introduced me to a kind of wealth measured by community, gratitude, and room at the table for everyone.
Those moments are what my collections are built from. These are the treasures I hope never to lose.
What has inspired me most is that no two shells are ever the same. Each has been shaped by the same ocean, but no two are identical.
“When he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.”

Thank you to everyone who made my trip to Tanzania possible. And to my Mima and Grandpa Jim — thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience a place that changed my life.
None of this would exist without you.
