      So true. Look at those in Miami demonstrating against their own country at the Jamaican Consulate. But, they have no grouse against Ron DeSantis who treats black people like garbage and taking away all their rights. It is so shameful, unpatriotic, and just boggles the mind.

    I know Misti personally she’s an awesome soul! She has shown nothing but selflessness and kindness to everyone. What does it mean to be generous? Generosity has to do with selflessness and kindness toward others. Misti shares resources and look out for the needs of others, instead of focusing solely upon herself and her desires. She and her Admins/Moderators hold everyone to that standard as well! I love Jamaica 🇯🇲 . I also decided to move to Jamaica 🇯🇲 Misti inspired me on many levels too!

Nothing will stop me from visiting that wonderful country and people. Misti is a friend of mine and she does so much for the community she is selfless in her love of Jamaica and its people.

    I'm a jamaican, I just got my canadian citizenship . I sold my house in Jamaica last year, and I am looking to buy a house in a gated estate in South Africa. I can live on a golf estate in a mansion for the money you have to spend and buy a small house in Jamaica or Canada. Practically living like a king . It's a big world out there, people. Go out and explore, don't let the West tell you where to live!

      she never said NOT to move anywhere else. she was giving a reason for those of us who don't want to go too far from home. Jamaica is much closer than Africa for many of us, so as long as our loved ones are alive and well, some of us wish not to move too far from them.

      For the past 4 years I've been researching how my skills align with the needs of JA.

I moved here from the DC/Baltimore region. When ppl mention crime, I Kmt 😎 not that crime does not exist, but I cringe 😬 n suffer from anxiety, growing up in the “worst hood” in DC, not to mention a touch of PTSD. I feel nice 😊 in Port Antonio. The U.S. is truly “off da chain.” No, I am not a rich foreigner 😆, I work for people and live local. Portland is the “garden of Eden.” 🌹

    So well done, with thoughtful, specific, questions designed to bring forth not just interesting conversation, but useful hard information .... and of course an excellent interview subject with insight, intelligence, as well as her openness and eagerness to share and support others in creating their own best lives, as she herself has done. Misti and I first met through our mutual love of Jamaica, and 20 years of friendship later I count her as one of my dearest friends. Utilizing her insight can only bring positivity to your endeavors.

When I were a kid and we used to see tourist comes to Jamaica, we would literally roll out the red carpet for them. I didn’t know that some of these people didn’t like us until I went to New York. I live there for 10 years and now living in Canada for 14 years, I’m living forward to relocating back to Jamaica or Namibia 🇳🇦 within the next five years.

    A dry cleaning local business would do very well in the local areas of the island including ironing etc. they could then pick up the clothes already done ✅ the employment increase in these businesses would work magic. Totally agree. They also make a beer brewery for Mangoes, here in the UK they don't grow mangoes, but they brew mango beer from Somerset in England, mangoes don't grow in the UK. Jamaica is very resourceful but they need the drive, there are no advisors to trigger the monetary avenues and encourage fruit farming in the island. Every fruit can make a Cider.

    Throp, you mentioned in your interview with AfricanTigress that you would like to see a high school built in Negril. In my opinion, far more important would be a hospital. For the locals for sure, but also for the tourists who are partying which paves the way for incidents. Since Negril has such a high repeat tourist reputation, a billboard on Norman Manley Blvd., showing a graph of donations could possibly feed on itself.

      We don't need a billboard begging for money. Contrary to people's beliefs Jamaica is not poor and destitute. The government can built that hospital and contract the work out to the Chinese like they are doing for the children's hospital in Montego Bay.
      We don't need charity. How embarrassing.

    Jamaica is absolutely beautiful and very underrated. First started visiting Jamaica in 1987. Jamaica has all the smaller islands inside of it. You can find Grenada, St Vincent, Barbados, and so on inside Jamaica. I will not hear anything bad about Jamaica. All though, the government can do better for their communities to prevent them from leaving Jamaica

    Americans don't get enough commendation for the things that they do for Jamaica and other countries. I personally know doctors and nurses that send down containers with hospital supplies and x-ray machines and MRI machines with donations. Jamaica is where it is because of America mostly and all the Americans owning business there. I love these people for all they do.

    The problem with recycling plants and large laundry facilities is that they are not environmentally friendly businesses. You will create pollution in Negril.
    Those businesses would have to be away from the population. In Barbados a certain Jamaican owned chain hotel lanundry facilites are in a neighborhood and it gives off a lot of lint which lands on people's homes in the area. It's terrible.

      If I might venture to say, and artist and poet would be better suited finding that eclectic element in KINSTSON , particularly poetry and spoken word. You also will be more likely to hook up with people in the art community who could lead you to an affordable place to stay while you pursue your craft .
