AUTHOR KRYSTAL VOLNEY'S INFORMATION ABOUT ME SUMMARY
(FOR FANS AND FRIENDS)
EARLY LIFE
Interviews from 2019 were done by Scott Douglas Jacobsen on my early personal life, discovery of giftedness and talents.
I was also interviewed by Itv presenter Antoine Allen in 2016 on his website 'AntoineSpeaks' about my childhood.
In the "Early personal life" interview I stated that, "My early life was very restricted as I had a very strict upbringing. I wanted to fit in with my friends in primary school so I was against my parents and was closely associated with a pedophile maid best friend Andre Sterling like a ‘Second mother’ as she was trusted who took me places as well to see my ‘friends’ but it was manipulation on her path for years. How could a pedophile have honestly wished well on me or been like ‘second family’ truly? She wanted me to be a failure in life and be a menace. When I look back at my childhood, I want to inspire children out there and let them know how important it is to tell their parents, guardians or family if someone is child grooming or sexually abusing them even if it means that they would be controlled more. My childhood abuser did not want me to tell my teachers, family, friends or parents and wanted me to see her as my ‘best friend’." I believe that I was 'brainwashed' as a child by that woman who lied to my family about who she had been, after she started abusing me at 5 years old by kissing me & touching my body parts sexually among other things, after starting to work for my parents at 3 years old and the maid introduced me to pornographic tv programs when I was being babysat in my pre-teens. I remember telling a friend in primary school about the situation, but she did not tell the Principal or any teachers. When my parents were not around my childhood home, in my pre-teens for example, I watched a tv show in the early morning hours called 'Queer as Folk' (unsuitable for kids due to the content) with the pedophile as well who told me to never tell my family, trying to seduce my thinking along with a hardcore pornographic tape she bought for me to watch with her when I was barely a teenager. Andre told me to kill my mother, when I was a little girl, so that I would not be controlled anymore but I loved my parents and violence never solves anything.
I started to smoke marijuana casually/secretly (not addicted in any way) at 14 years old when the maid brought it to my home and would drink alcohol all of the time in my adolescence, like many teenagers that wanted to be "adults" before the legal age. I was also a teeny bopper. I would practice djing with my older brother Chris who was part of a dj group in secondary school called 'Siberia Sounds'. I believe that due to the child sexual abuse/child grooming by the maid, I was blinded throughout my childhood and adolescence with regards to decision-making.
As I remember, my parents were very kind people while they were still married, before they divorced, although very strict, and would always visit and invite children from St. Dominic's Children's Home in Belmont, Trinidad with Sister Marina to the main family home I grew up in for breakfast parties after church. The pedophile was so manipulative that she did not want me to see what she was doing as evil or wrong and would often go to church with my family on Sunday mornings for the weekly hour service. She also had a bible in her bedroom at the house. I remember the roof of my childhood home (the only roof in the neighborhood with similar roofs) having several or more corbeaux (Trinidadian Black Vultures) settled on it when I returned home after secondary school daily on afternoons and believe that the woman put witchcraft on my family. I did not tell my parents or family anything until I was 19 years old although I told a classmate in primary school and a friend in secondary school. Although there were times that I got A+ in particular subjects on my report cards, I struggled academically at Maria Regina Grade School because of what transpired with the pedophile although I was the Head Girl in Grade 5.
I believe that most people are former victims of something and want to be an advocate for children around the world, which led me to join the Heroes Foundation (Big Brother, Big Sister) in 2010 although I am no longer a member/volunteer. As an adult, I do not smoke anything and do not drink alcohol casually like before (only on rare & holiday occasions).
Although my older siblings were not victims of the pedophile, my brother Chris Volney was kidnapped at age 21 and put in his car trunk at gun point, left to suffocate there but survived while his ex-girlfriend was raped in his same car in front of him, not being able to help her. He was also in a car accident in the past, but he survived without personal injuries to him, and his car was badly damaged then and recently in 2025, which was not published in the newspapers.
Another experience when I was in my adolescence was when my family friend/bodyguard Derrick Nelson from Tobago was attacked with guns and broke both legs in a dry river when he attempted to escape. He died in the hospital. The reason for his attack was because he got involved with a woman from the courthouse and was seen as the "Perfect Romeo".
I remember the good people who worked for my family like the dead bodyguard who died in the hospital because of the gun injuries, the family police officer Jason Seecharan from Award-winning soca group H20 Phlo and other loyal people such as my childhood driver Andy Absalom. I also had a live at home 'sister' Nicole Ross from St. Dominic's Children's Home in Belmont, Trinidad as a child and adolescent who I have not seen since then.
In 1996 when my family and I were travelling to Europe for the first time, one of the engines of the aircraft caught on fire while in the air and I remember it being traumatizing as a child. The plane had an emergency landing in Barbados.
My favorite leisure books as a child were The Secret Island' as well as Five on Kirrin Island Again by Enid Blyton and best loved video game was 'The Legend of Zelda'.
I have never been married and do not have any children because I do not want to, loving single life forever because I see men as players who want money and power.
According to the Christian bible, Fornication and Adultery are sins.
I know people who are my friends who do not believe in the same things as me & do not judge them in any way because I know that human beings like myself had different experiences and lifestyles so who am I to assess anyone? Who am I.
For many years in my twenties, I did not believe in God and was agnostic because some people who I trusted when I was in my teenage years, plotted against me after I believed them to be Christians, which was the reason I confided in and went to bible studies with them. They posted bad pictures of me on their facebook profiles with the intention to embarrass me but there were not any videos. They made jokes that they reported and put me on their 'limited profiles'. I lost all of my Sunsilk hair brand modelling pictures because of them. This happened in 2008, before I became a Poet in 2010.
When I was 18 going on 19 years old, I modelled in 2007 for an Award-winning Carnival costume band 'Trini Revellers "Que Viva Mexico!", which was considered to be one of the best and largest back then before the bandleader's death in 2019 in Tnt. I was invited to model again for them the following year. Also, I was a local Brand Ambassador/Promotional model for Sunsilk Hair Brand in Trinidad after being discovered at Inglefield, Ogilvy & Mather Caribbean Ltd. after an in-person audition in 2007-2008. I never auditioned in-person internationally for any modelling agencies although I had the opportunity to do more locally after another in-person audition at Triniscene. I did a photo shoot with Kareem Abdullatif who encouraged me to enter the Face of Shabeau Magazine competition in my teens but I did not have a Comp card available at the time. I worked with Laura Ferreira the photographer and with Annelie Solis when she was a photographer when I was in my adolescence.
My parents did not allow me to model before 18 going on 19 years old although I wanted to and still had a problem with the nakedness of certain Adult carnival costumes. Further to this, I was asked to enter a model search for Campari Alcohol brand in Trinidad when I was in my late teens but I did not pursue that.
In 2023, I did a photo and video shoot at Middleham Falls in Dominica with Award-winning photographer Derek Galon. I consider myself more photogenic as a thin person without the use of photoshop and video magic. In my teens & early twenties, I weighed 110-118 lbs and I've never done plastic surgery or any non-invasive cosmetic procedures as well as being low maintenance, neither do I wear dental veneers although I do not believe that anything is wrong with doing them, especially as people get older. However, many humans put an emphasis on doing things naturally, but I'm not one of those who judge others physically although the world is superficial, especially in modelling.
I've been asked before whether I entered any beauty pageants when I was a child, in my teens or in my twenties or early thirties and the answer is No.

SOME FAMILY BACKGROUND INFORMATION WITH EVIDENCE
PATERNAL SIDE-
My Dominican-Trinidadian-Montserratian father Herbert Volney died in December 2022 from a heart attack, after suffering from heart disease for more than a decade, which contributed to his weight gain. He was educated at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus Barbados, was a former diplomat, controversial/disliked High Court Trinidadian Judge, Government Minister of Justice and MP.
My father was disliked for being controversial and lost the opportunity to work in the Bahamas as a Judge as well before he became a government minister. When I was a student at secondary school, there were those who referred to me as "Volney daughter" and always spoke of the Brad Boyce Case as though I did not have an identity of my own. There are Calypsonians who sang about him when he was alive and I have always felt as though some people from my homeland who do not know me personally, are prejudiced against me because of his actions.
My dad was mixed with mainly White, Amerindian (Kalinago from Dominica) and Part-African.
My great-grandfather Joseph Henry Louis Volney was from St. Lucia. My St. Lucian grandfather Cyril Fredrick Louis Volney was a Cable & Wireless Manager on Montserrat. He died in 1965.
My Dominican grandmother Rosalind Nicholls-Volney was a member of the Dominica Red Cross Society and a housewife before her death. My great-grandfather (her father) was Ralph Edgar Alford Nicholls Esq, a member of the Executive Council of Dominica.
My paternal cousin (and my family's from Dominica as well such as my deceased grandmother Rosalind Volney's) was the poet Phyllis Shand Allfrey ( Phyllis Shand Allfrey - Wikipedia ) who was married to Robert Edward Allfrey, an engineer educated at Oxford University and their daughter my cousin Josephine Allfrey, also educated at Oxford University like her father, was killed in a motor accident in Botswana.
My paternal great-great-grandfather was Sir Henry Alfred Alford Nicholls from Dominica (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Alfred_Alford_Nicholls). He has a mountain called Morne Nicholls on the hiking trail to the Boiling Lake named after him as well as the Tree Bat (Ardops Nichollsi) in the Lesser Antilles and a Ward at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital.
My great-great-great-Uncle was his brother Frederic Nicholls ( https://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/nicholls_frederic_thomas_15E.html) from Canada (both sons of Thomas William Nicholls and Elizabeth Pitkin) who was one of the founders of the Art Gallery of Ontario ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Gallery_of_Ontario ).
He appeared on the 1906 Cover of Busy Man's Magazine currently known as Maclean's in Canada ( https://archive.org/details/Macleans-Magazine-1906-03-01 ) and was the second Vice-President of Canadian General Electric as well as a member of Edison Pioneers.
Frederic Nicholls is known for the Parklands Estate, (which was sold to become a Country Club), Homewood Estate, (which was demolished, to become the Wellesley Hospital in Toronto), the Frederic Nicholls House at the University of Toronto and the Nicholls Building. He was an Editor of the Toronto Star in Canada. His portrait can be found in the University of Toronto Art Collection and the McCord Stewart Museum in Montreal.
My family and I did not inherit anything from him.
My great-great-grandmother was Charlotte Louisa Eglais Shillingford from Dominica. I can be found on Pg 105 of "The Shillingfords of Dominica and their Family Tree: With Notes on the Dominica Taverniers" published in 2018 by my older cousin Dr. Davison Shillingford.
I did not know about my family information until my late twenties & early thirties. I encourage my fans/friends to do research about their families as well.
MATERNAL SIDE-
My Trinidadian mother is a former diplomat and retired Attorney-at-law, who was educated at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus Barbados as well as Hugh Wooding Law School in Trinidad.
My maternal grandmother is mixed with Yoruba, Portuguese and Island Carib. She was educated at Providence Girls' Catholic Secondary School and was a housewife.
My maternal grandfather was the personal bodyguard to The Right Honourable Dr. Eric Williams, First Prime Minister of Tnt and was encouraged to go to law school in the UK when he was older by him, where he graduated from, before becoming a Magistrate in Trinidad & Tobago, prior to his death when I was a baby. He was Afro-Barbadian-Trinidadian and had some mixed ancestry in Barbados through his father.
