Jayne Olorunda

Jayne Olorunda HeadshotVoluntary worker and project manager Jayne Olorunda released her first book Legacy to tell the heartbreaking story about her life in which she reveals how her  family were plagued by racism, poverty, and grief after the death of her father.

Jayne was just two years old when her father, Nigerian-born, Max Olorunda was killed by an IRA incendiary bomb which detonated prematurely in Dunmurry aboard a train from Ballymena to Belfast in January 1980.

Her book Legacy documents Jayne’s own personal struggle to deal with not only the death of the father she never knew but to understand her mother’s deteriorating health due to undiagnosed Post Traumatic Stress as well as recounting the very personal story of her mother Gabrielle’s deteriorating health.
