🇯🇲 Happy 64th Independence Day, Jamaica! 🇯🇲
This year, I wrote something that is deeply personal and means so much to me.
It’s more than an Independence Day post. It’s a reflection on our journey as a people, the sacrifices that built our nation, and the faith that carried us from slavery to emancipation, from independence to where we are today. It’s also a heartfelt tribute to the ordinary Jamaicans whose names may never appear in history books, yet whose hard work, resilience, and unwavering faith helped build the Jamaica we proudly call home.
I wrote about the unsung heroes of our nation, especially the higglers and domestic workers like my mother, Marcia, who labored long hours and made countless sacrifices so their children could have a better future. Their stories deserve to be remembered because Jamaica was built on all our backs, and Jamaica belongs to all of us, not just the elite.
Most importantly, I share why I believe the greatest legacy we can leave is not merely one of success or achievement, but one of faith, hope, and a life fully surrendered to Jesus Christ.
I would be truly honored if you would take a few minutes to read it. If it speaks to your heart, please leave me a comment and share what being Jamaican means to you, or tell me about someone whose sacrifice helped shape your life.
If this message resonates with you, please share it with your children, grandchildren, family, and friends, whether they are in Jamaica or anywhere across the diaspora. Our history, our faith, and the sacrifices of those who came before us are stories worth preserving and passing on to the next generation.
Together, let’s celebrate our history, honor our people, strengthen our faith, and continue building a Jamaica that future generations will be proud to call home.
