She was raised in a large family that includes seven brothers. Influenced by her brothers, Ebanks played many sports growing up, such as basketball, football and tennis. The Ebanks family was quite poor, living in what she described as “a little blue, zinc-roof shack on Walkers Road”. Often, Ebanks didn’t have shoes to wear to George Town primary school.
