Born in rural Jamaica, she was raised in the church of National Hero Paul Bogle, the political activist deacon who led the march from Stony Gut to Morant Bay in a fight against poverty and injustice and lack of confidence in the central authority. That march would eventually lead to his death. Reverend Hyde-Riley, one of three female ministers in the denomination with 340 churches across the island is acutely aware of this history and she insists that the Baptist denomination is not bereft of the Paul Bogle
