What really gets me is our love affair and affection for all who are white.
If this was a black person who felt deep ancestral connection to our cuisine because they saw so much similarities to their own locale’s black cuisine, the reception would not at all be the same.
We welcome the announcement of His Majesty King Charles III’s visit to The Bahamas this October. The warmth and hospitality of the Bahamian people await His Majesty, and we look forward to welcoming him to our shores.

Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of supportjamaica.gov.jm, the Government of Jamaica’s official platform to coordinate relief, mobilize support, and manage recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.
The site allows users to donate securely, submit pledges, report emergencies, and locate nearby shelters. It is designed to serve Jamaicans at home and abroad who wish to assist with national recovery efforts.
Please remember, if it doesn’t end with .gov.jm, it is not an official Government of Jamaica website.

No briefing. No evidence. No names.
Just people blown up in the Caribbean and called “drug dealers.” That’s not law enforcement. That’s extrajudicial killing.
The Constitution says only Congress can declare war. Until then, these strikes are as wrong as what China or Iran does.

Imperialism doesn’t only kill us with weapons , it infiltrates our minds with the idea that we deserve to live only as the West wants us to.
They make us dream of becoming like them and when we try, they mock us .
