Like fine wine....hello 49!
Its been a VERY tough year but one of the most rewarding in terms of my support system and self discovery.
God is good...all the time!
I am thankful for amazing family, great friends and you my Tweeps!!
Here's to friendship, health and wealth!
Happy birthday to me! I truly am giving thanks for another year to love, laugh, cry, create, grow...to become a better version of me. Thank you guys for lifting me up, supporting me, believing in me! It's a celebration woot woot!
Twitter thank you for such an amazing day of love and celebration!
I read every single post. I am truly grateful and humbled to each and everyone of you for your love and support 🥰
49...out of the box time, come mek we dweet! Love unu!
25years of service to the RJR group - 30 years in media including Power 106FM and The Gleaner. I've hosted so many awards events. It's great to be an honoree!
We need our own Reggae Awards in Jamaica. I know the challenges from past shows, we can learn from that. Sounds like a project for Min. Edmund Bartlett. We want to celebrate our people, visitors would come to rub shoulders with their fav Reggae artists. Let's do it!
For 2 years we have spent so much time trying to convince organisations that Miss Jamaica World is not only relevant, it has real purpose in lifting the spirit of our nation and empowering our women. I hope that after today I will never have to have that conversation again.
4 years since the JLP been in power...and they have a lot of development work to show for it. This is not an invitation for comments from political trolls. A just the reality.
We are Jamaicans. Stop feed into the hate narrative that is being prioritized by some overseas media to overshadow what these ladies have achieved. Olympic stars!
She is Aunty Fae, Felly, Fellington, Miss... most importantly she's a national treasure and it's an honor to call her 'fellow Jamaican' because no other country has our darling Fae.
Happy birthday to you
@FaeEllington
! May you continue to enjoy blessings, love and happiness
Toni-Ann takes the best selfies and Ms Morley has the sweetest smile! Jamaica is lifted up because of our Miss World and we are heartened by her commitment to support women here and across the globe. God is good.
Happy Emancipation day to those who praise Bob, Wailers, Koffee...all our artists but wouldn't mek dem pass de school gate. Guess courthouse good for Rasta lawyer, Gordon House good for Rasta MP...but school can ban dem. MOE taxpayers waan know how dis go.
I think people don't get how Covid19 has ripped at the heart of the Creative industry. Well let me speak to theatre, comedy, hosting...my main income streams. Every day is a real struggle. Please stop approaching us to work and say you no have it. We no have it either
Unu see the ladies dem interview? Gracious, kind, supportive of each other, INTELLIGENT, and dem pretty eeh man. Oh gosh dem is such an example. Jamaica look how we blessed.
Thank you TVJ for believing in me!
@natoniaes
and
@TVJGM
you didn't hesitate when we said yes she can win. You decided instantly that Jamaica had to see this victory and got to work on securing coverage. Thank you for bringing this moment live to Jamaicans across the island.
Listen I heard the tape with the conversation. The parent was told that hygiene is the major concern like locks and poor hygiene synonymous. That gone back to dread and 40 leg days. Dont tell me not to speak on it. Me pay me taxes and me waan know what is MOE policy!
Big up to Toni-Ann's mother...Jherane Bailey. She had a vision of greatness for her daughter from day one and she has supported her every step of the way.
A stool. That lady was beaten with a stool. The entire country is waiting to see what is the consequence of beating a woman with a stool. Are we serious about domestic violence? What we telling de woman beater dem?
Ohhh its Nevz Kevz 🎂 birthday! Please help me wish the hot, top, sexiest man alive (Peoples Magazine you never come to Jamaica) a very very happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊
For Kyle to tweet...cup must be full.
I really hope he knows how much support is here for him when he's ready. Our boys and men struggle with abuse you know, time we assure them that we are equally concerned about their well being.
Kyle nothing but love and support for you.
Some a unu behave like if unu had a stool unu would beat me fi speak out against the beating. NOT SORRY. Please keep coming because all I going do is block unu and keep talking.
My mother raised me to be respectful to older persons. I have always lived by that. I will say though, some older persons do not know how to be respectful to others and age is not an excuse to be rude. Please help me to live by my mothers teachings.
No man I seeing people on Twitter posting "I want a job" then following up with a post to say dem get a call and the job. Well let me test it.
"I want funding for a film"
Mek me charge me phone cause me no waan me battery dead when the call dem come in
Can we reason about vaccines minus the anger and disrespect? We can stop style up people? Many have recovered. Too many have died. Two sides of the same coin. We fighting Covid19, stop fight each other.
You can't force people to appreciate your value. You can do a million amazing things and they still place you at the bottom of the barrel. You must see the value in yourself. Never allow yourself to be diminished. That barrel isn't for you. Climb out. Walk away.
I don't want to hear that it happens elsewhere. This robbing of people hard earned money needs to stop. Based on the demographic I don't think Choppa songs can get blamed, so is not dancehall this time. What else we looking at then cause this too much now.
Really disturbed. How you can beat a 4 year old so mercilessly? When the mother intervene you put down the stick and use metal fi beat har? A 4 year old lose him life just because him no feel well and couldn't eat fast enough to suit you? Real coward and waste man dat.
In the meantime...this angel of a man hears a young woman on my live share her story of struggle..but also her triumph at being the first child of 10 to reach University...and just committed to paying her school fees. Gramps Morgan
@grampsmorgan
you are love and light!
There's a pattern. Once I post about Gender Based Violence one bag a man start respond like dem offended or vex. Too much ooman beater in a dis country. Dat me say and wont stop until unu understand unu self. Women don't be afraid or ashamed to speak up and out! It must stop!
Unu do me a favour no please. If we posting videos of people disregarding Covid19 protocols can we do so for all geographic locations? Is only in the inner city unu camera work?
I feel like people who intentionally spreading fake Covid19 news should just be blocked by every single soul. Yeah man, let's practice social media distancing.
I watched this and me naw lie...me bawl. This woman has such a big heart. Such a passion and concern for her students. Just when I was thinking there is so much darkness here comes this powerful ray of light. Me heart full. May endless blessings flow upon her and her family.
Wanting to help students without internet access, teacher

Dee-Ann is no push over. She is a barrister and also a competitive athlete. In 2018 she became the first black woman to be crowned Miss Universe Great Britain. I suspect she has also made history as the first woman to unseat the leader of a ruling party in Anguilla. She's 27.
#BREAKING

32yr old man charged for sexually assaulting a 9yr old.
He threatened to kill the child if she reported the matter to anyone and was charged after a statement and evidence were collected from another child, who was also allegedly assaulted.
Sex offenders registry needed.
This mek me bawl because I can see the joy in these children and we know Jamaican children dem fearless and dem really a run to keep up with/outrun Bolt LOL...and he is here for it cheering them on. It is just so sweet to see them!
All hail the swim champ! The Fitness Challenge is not quite done and our Miss Jamaica World Khalia Hall did us proud once again by taking the swimming final of that challenge.
Go Khalia!!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Somebody say me emcee and Miss St Catherine win so something 'fishy'. I have been either an emcee, judge, trainer, or organiser of Miss Jamaica Festival Queen for the past 29 years. St. Catherine never win yet...but this year 'fishy'? Look here Satan...hold your position.
Somewhere in Jamaica, a heartless person knows what has happened to Jasmine Deen and remains silent. Now Tonika Williams is missing. Both women defying the odds despite being blind. Lord let them have no peace, no rest, nothing but torment.
Me caan keep up with Jamaica! Allia a mash up swimming, Rugby team send on to the big stage, Stafanie a lead Windies to T20 domination and Dalton is a walking W! A punchinella we a play! Wha next we can tek on? We ready fi the winningz!
I grew up in the "self praise is no recommendation" era so I struggle to write bios and content that identify what I've achieved. I write it then erase some because I think it sound full a meself. So today I'm trying to list it all, what me can remember. Let's see if I can😩
I wonder if unu hear de splendiforus news say Gordon Town Square tun inna Miss Lou Square! Big big renaming ceremony galang up dey dis evening! Happy 100 Miss Lou..me hope you know how much Jamaica love you!
One weekend. Two murders of women... by men who believed that was the best option to deal with their failed relationship. Twitter, when we see men expressing their hurt right ya so..support them, mek dem know its okay, help dem process it. Better dem talk it out than kill it out.
For a country widely affected by ChikV and Zika, I don't know why some of us ears so hard. We never believe mosquito could a do we so. Now we no believe Covid 19 serious? Champs get cancel. Olympics. Whole heap a weddings. Church! Stay inside or stay wide
I wonder if Jamaicans are aware of how much our athletes want to make us proud? Every statement, every post, every interview they reinforce how much they love Jamaica and do this for us. I only hope they know how much we love and appreciate them.
Why the people with the most facts and opinions pon social media are always the most anonymous? Like how you a go chide me about being real and transparent when you can't take the basic step of revealing who you are? How me fi accept conspiracy theories from a symbol or a puss?
She was "found" in his room. I guess 2023 is the year of revelation after all. Time to have a real discussion about domestic violence and sexual abuse on our campuses.
Calabar went to Kingston College this morning. It is an important step. I am typing this because it deserves as much attention as the chanting. Please circulate and talk about it as well.
Lost one of my closest friends and within a week my big brother. So the rains were an example of how I've been feeling.
I woke up to brilliant sunshine.
Ground still soaked. Flood damage. The sun shines again and how magnificent it is. Better days are coming. I'm trusting God
There are people in this country who worse than criminals. They rob this nation of its positive spirit in the name of followers, listeners and likes. Truth means very little. Controversy is what propels them. As for me and my house we will continue to do what is good.
Lady: Hi Kerri-Karelle.

JTB...the travel and tourism slowdown must be concerning for you. We might not be able to match your usual revenue targets but give us some local rates and we will support you if it becomes necessary.

All who a cuss 'bout professionals inna de show this year. For the past couple of years were you interested in the Festival Song finals. Do yo know who entered or who won? Ask yourself why you know so much about this year. When we ready we cuss all the white off a rice.
Every time a man tries to over charge me and I hit him with the "okay, let me check with my boyfriend first because he is paying and he has to approve this" the bill becomes significantly less. Got to use my head pon dem out here in these streets. Sigh.
