AUTHOR KRYSTAL VOLNEY'S INFORMATION ABOUT HER SUMMARY

(FOR FANS AND FRIENDS)

EARLY LIFE

 

Interviews from 2019 were done by Scott Douglas Jacobsen on her early personal life, family history , discovery of giftedness and talents. KV did not grow up knowing about her family history as well as ancestry and encourages her fans/online-offline friends to do that research too as they may find something interesting. Information about both her paternal and maternal families was discovered and verified with evidence when she was in her late twenties and early thirties.

 She was also interviewed by Itv presenter Antoine Allen in 2016 on his website 'AntoineSpeaks' about her childhood.

In the "Early personal life" interview she 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. 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’." KV believes that she was 'brainwashed' as a child by that woman who lied to her family about who she had been, after she started sexually abusing her at 5 years old, after starting to work for her parents at 3 years old and the maid introduced her to pornography when she was being babysat. Volney remembers telling a friend in primary school about the situation, but she did not tell the Principal or any teachers. She started to smoke marijuana casually/secretly (not addicted) at 14 years old when the pedophile brought it to her home and would drink alcohol all of the time in her adolescence, like many teenagers that wanted to be "adults" before the legal age. Krystal was also a teeny bopper. She would practice djing with her older brother Chris who was part of a dj group in secondary school. Volney believes that due to the child sexual abuse/child grooming by the maid, she was blinded throughout her childhood and adolescence with regards to decision-making before she developed a spiritual relationship with God as a Born-Again Christian. Krystal hates her childhood pedophile because her parents were very kind people while they were still married, 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 she grew up in for parties after church. The woman was so manipulative that she did not want Krystal to see what she was doing as evil or wrong and would often go to church with her family on Sunday mornings for the weekly hour service. The pedophile also had a bible in her bedroom at the house. Volney remembers the roof of her childhood house (the only roof in the neighborhood) having several or more corbeaux (Trinidadian Black Vultures) settled on it when she returned home after secondary school daily on afternoons and believes that the woman put witchcraft on her family. She did not tell her parents or family anything until she was 19 years old although she told a classmate in primary school and a friend in secondary school. KV struggled academically (there were times that she got A+ in particular subjects on her report cards) at Maria Regina Grade School because of what transpired with the pedophile although she was the Head Girl in Grade 5. As a child, Krystal Volney read books on Ancient Egypt and wanted to become an Egyptologist when she grew up. In her adolescence in 2005, she received 5 Grade A's (1 distinction- A's in English Language, English Literature, Principles of Business, Spanish, Mathematics) and 3 B's (French, History, Biology) at CXC CSEC also known as O'Levels at fifth form and received her upper sixth high school CAPE diploma in 2007.

KV believes that most people are former victims of something and wants to be an advocate for children around the world, which led her to join the Heroes Foundation (Big Brother, Big Sister) in 2010 although she is no longer a member/volunteer. As an adult, she does not smoke anything and does not drink alcohol (only on rare occasions).

Another experience when she was in her adolescence was when her 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".

Volney remembers the good people who worked for her 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 her childhood driver Andy Absalom from Santa Cruz, Trinidad. She 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 she has not seen since then.

Her brother Chris Volney was kidnapped at age 21 and put in his car trunk at gun point, left to suffocate but survived while his ex-girlfriend was raped in his same car in front of him. 

In 1996 when she and her family were travelling to Europe, one of the engines of the aircraft caught on fire while in the air and she remembers it being traumatizing as a child. The plane had an emergency landing in Barbados.

KV's 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'.

KV has never been married and does not have any children. She does not want to because she doesn't care for a relationship with anyone. According to the Christian bible, Fornication and Adultery are sins. However, Volney does not judge or condemn anyone as she is not God and the bible states in Matthew 7:1-3

"7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" Krystal Volney knows people who are her friends who do not believe in the same things as her but does not judge them in any way because she knows that human beings like herself had different experiences and lifestyles so who is she to assess anyone?

Born in Trinidad, she has a 1 year long Public Relations diploma from the University of the West Indies St. Augustine Campus. KV has a B.A. Sociology degree with Psychology, Statistics and Poetry (Second Class Honours based on the UWI GPA Grading Scale after 2014) where she graduated in 2020. She also studied Computer Science at University of the West Indies Mona Campus, Jamaica in 2014 prior to her Sociology degree and has a Computing diploma from Oxford University with distinction. 

FAMILY BACKGROUND

KV's father was born on Montserrat, Caribbean who moved to Dominica as a boy because of the volcanic activity on the Isle. He was mixed with Amerindian (Kalinago/ Island Carib from Dominica), French Caribbean, White British and part African through his mixed father. Her paternal grandfather was mixed race and her paternal grandmother was half-Amerindian, half-White. Krystal Volney's Trinidadian mother is African-Caribbean of Yoruba, Portuguese (Madeira) and Barbadian descent. KV's maternal grandmother Molly Pascal is multiracial mixed with Yoruba and Vincentian from Madeira, Portugal through her grandmother Annie Samuel who was Island Carib & White; both of her grandmother's parents were mixed and KV's maternal grandfather was Black-Barbadian-Trinidadian.

KV's paternal cousin was Phyllis Shand Allfrey the poet and she is the great-great-granddaughter of Sir Henry Alfred Alford Nicholls from Dominica (who she did not inherit anything from) who wrote the book 'A text-book on Tropical Agriculture', which was translated into spanish by Henri François Pittier from Venezuela. She is also the great-great-great-niece of Frederic Nicholls, his brother-  Canadian entrepreneur. He owned the Parklands Estate and Homewood in Canada (did not inherit anything from him). One of his portraits can be found in the University of Toronto's Art Museum, he was one of the founders of the Art Gallery of Ontario and he appeared on the Cover of the Busy Man's Magazine in 1906, currently known as Maclean's magazine in Canada. Nicholls also worked as an editor of the Toronto Star. 

According to the biography- Phyllis Shand Allfrey: A Caribbean Life, her grandmother and her family from Dominica were/are descendants of Robert-Marguerite Tascher de la Pagerie from Martinique (The Uncle of Empress Joséphine). Other information about her paternal grandmother is that she was descended from Clayron Royer her mother, Charlotte Louisa Eglais Shillingford her grandmother who was the sister of Albert Cavendish Shillingford and daughter of Albert Charles Shillingford from Dominica. This information can be found in 'The Shillingfords of Dominica and their family tree' authored by Dr. Davison Shillingford, KV's older cousin. Krystal Volney can be found on Page 105 of the book.

Her St. Lucian grandfather Cyril Fredrick Louis Volney was a Cable & Wireless Manager in the Caribbean (died in 1965 from heart problems) and was the son of Joseph Henry Louis Volney from St. Lucia & Lilian Yearwood. Information about Cyril Fredrick Louis Volney is that he was related to (Sir) Lennox O'Reilly (Trinidad) in his first marriage to his wife Eileen Joyce Volney (Sutherland). Records state that he was also married to Florence Venolia Volney.

KV's maternal grandfather was a Trinidadian Olympian in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics and ran in the 1951 Pan American games in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was the personal bodyguard to Trinidad and Tobago's first Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Dr. Eric Williams before he studied law in the UK in his later years (most likely at the Honorable Society of Lincoln's Inn) and became a Senior Magistrate in Trinidad before he died. 

Her older cousin is Angela Bridgeman-Baxter, a former international Scottish athlete.

The family from Trinidad knew that her grandfather was a "runner" but not an Olympian or a Pan American sprinter when he was young. He and her grandmother did not tell them anything even if he was a quarter-finalist and semi-finalist in the Olympics. During the time that social networks like Hi5 had been more popular, which her friends used often during secondary school, there were not any articles online about her deceased grandfather or older cousin on the search engines.

KV's maternal grandmother's half-Uncle was John O'Halloran, a controversial Government Minister and businessman in the Rt. Hon Dr. Eric Williams' cabinet. Her grandmother was educated at Providence Girls' Catholic Secondary School in Trinidad and does not have a college degree.
