"There are some things that mothers and daughters share, but there are also many secrets that they keep." Cedar Wood & Silk is about handing things down from one generation to another. It's about the perspectives Jamaican mothers have of their British-born daughters and vice versa and the battles they have with clothes. Fashion has a lot to answer for.
