Mary McLeod Bethune was often called the "First Lady of Negro America," but she made significant contributions to the political climate of Florida as well. From the founding of the Daytona Literary and Industrial School for Training Negro Girls in 1904, Bethune galvanized African American women for change. She created an environment in Daytona Beach that, despite racial tension throughout the state, allowed Jackie Robinson to begin his journey to integrating Major League Baseball less than two miles away from her school. Today, her legacy lives through a number of institutions, including Bethune-Cookman University and the Mary McLeod Bethune Foundation National Historic Landmark. Historian Ashley Robertson explores the life, leadership and amazing contributions of this dynamic activist.
We provide a variety of unique, handmade gifts made by women, for all ages from infants to adults. Many of our products support charities and non-profits, with portions of proceeds going toward organizations and charities for marginalized voices and women advocacy groups.

The store is named Priscilla’s after Priscilla Murphy, the first realtor on Sanibel Island. She traveled here from Michigan in the 1940s and opened up the first real estate office on the island in the early 1950s.
My name is Maari and I live in Sanibel with my husband, Chas, and our two young children. We relocated here from Minnesota during the 2020 COVID pandemic. After visiting here for my whole life, we decided to take a leap of faith and start a new adventure on the island of Sanibel. With a background in advertising/marketing, journalism and interior design and charity work in women advocacy groups, I feel that I have found my calling by opening Priscilla's of Sanibel. I am an old soul, inspired by the many women before us, and with us, who have worked so hard so that we can all enjoy this beautiful place on Earth. I am honored and humbled to be part of this wonderful community and I look forward to meeting you soon and hearing your own story.
