I’m actually offended by how many people think Jamaicans are worried or jealous and that’s why a Jamaican newspaper reported it first. Baby, we just love people business.

This is still funny. Neither of them are Jamaican. When and how did visiting Jamaica be the tick box of being cultured?.
I don’t care if it’s a misquote, the timeline needs a sacrifice before the next harvest so Harry Pinero must fall 🔥

Listen, I will take the concerns of Black Brits taking acting’s roles from AA seriously once AA let Caribbean people & Black Brits to play themselves and stop butchering accents and languages.

Fam, non-Caribbean people (please note I did not say non-Caribbeans) love dashing “dutty whine” in any and everything. Once this asked me if I was Jamaican, I said yes and he responded “DUTTY WINE”. where do we go from here, where?!.

I have no pictures of myself in my teen years because I was so insecure. I thought I was ugly and needed make up to look feminine. Photoshoots are fun. I will have more.

Some days, I feel to open a Caribbean restaurant, not Jamaican but CARIBBEAN. Make it a hub for true lovers of Caribbean culture, food, music, literature, maybe even organising. Too many culture vultures dominating.

The way two dark skin girls get treated can vary depending on hair texture, whether they have an hour glass figure or certain facial features. Argue with your mother xxx.

I wrote a whole article abt how I no longer want praise for not wearing make up & being natural. I don’t care anymore. Some guy in the USA searched for my Facebook page, messaged me saying he read my article & felt he should let me know HE loves that I’m natural.

I’m convinced as a dark skinned black woman you have to have a) long ass hair/big bloodclaat Afro, b) hour glass figure & a big bum and c) constantly be half naked and oiled up otherwise you’ll be masculinised in some way. All Bria did was cut her hair.

A older woman in my family was squeezing a pimple/bump/acne whatever you call it on my sister’s face. My sister (she was like 13) shouted “ouch” and the family member responded, “well, that’s how sex and child birth is so stop complain”. I was 9 and so very confused.

If I am being completely honest a lot of people of Jamaican descent that I’ve interacted with don’t know their culture and history. The problem arises when they are quite misinformed and represent the island. Because then, non-Jamaicans want to tell us about ourselves. 🙃

Call me a gatekeeper but real activism isn’t always fun or cute. Most of my family and friends do not support the work I do. The alienation that happens? It’s so mentally draining.
