    Met her once with my Mom and my two sisters while we were shopping , In Papine, she had "Ring Ding" on TV, my younger sister begged her to come on with her two friends to do a dance! She was a lovely lady!R.I.P

      And we did dance in that Second Saturday in July of 1972, I was 10 yrs old! We danced to a song called "black skinned blue eyed boy" then 2 weeks later on August first 1972, we left Jamaica to come live in NY! I will never forget that lady, Miss Louise Bennett!! ❤❤❤❤

    What a national treasure she is! Louise Bennett should be recognized as one of Jamaica's National Heroes for her rich contributions to Jamaican life and culture. Her poetry and performances allowed us to feel proud about who we are as a people. Without her body of work, so much knowledge of the culture would have been forgotten. let's not forget her!

    The good old days, what a Treasure and a Gift from God Miss Lou is, I am positive that She is a large part of the success of our culture, instilling pride, uplifting the Jamaican people through excellence, Elegance and beauty she lit the path to success by Fanning the flames of the Nation's pride, instilling a self-love. I truly believe without Miss Lou as our cultural Ambassador, the Jamaican people would have never come into their own with the confidence of Lions, for such a small country, our success and influence is enormous, thank you Miss Lou for building the foundation for the success of your people ❤️

    For all those advocating for Patois to be official; please note that Ms Lou spoke proper English very well….she had a good command of both….the point is nothing is wrong with Patois but one must know how to juggle both languages…
