    Yendizzle, this was absolutely one of your best interviews to date. Shelly was comfortable in your space, and she made you very comfortable in your space. A very embracing and emotional piece about shelly’s humble beginnings to womanhood. And i can tell that you and her have similar personalities when it comes to just being strong women. Continue the great work; and i would love it if you can get an interview with either Shenseea or Koffee....talk to you later....one love...

      When I heard her said her mother told her to sell her teacher one pair of the slipper for her lunch money, I walked from downtown parade to Waterhouse near by St,Patrick primary school. Because a group of us young boys down town and bus strikes in the night, and we haveto walked to Waterhouse like nothing in those days.

    The struggles are real. My mother use to plant okra/plantain. For a time all we, ate were okra boiled in salt water. I hated it. Even one day I didn't get any lunch money and my mother rode to the school on a bicycle with a container full of June plums for my lunch. She always says it's what I learn and not the money I got. I pray I become successful in time to bless her.

    Watching this for the first time after the 200m Final at Tokyo 2021, all I can say is wow. I don't know about the others but what I saw was a woman who gave everything she had, to the very end. Now I have a much better understanding of why. This interview has also touched my life having just recently had a 2nd heart attack, I too have that resilience and tenacity that many call mad... but see when a purpose has taken hold of you, nothing absolutely nothing stops you. Thank you, amidst all the tears I've cried also during this video I am walking away with solid inspiration and I intend to also share it with others... Well done... God bless you all... more abundantly...

    I love this interview-reminded me of Phil 4 vs 13 “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I can relate-I went to St Hugh’s , I sold Gizzada & Drops at school to get lunch money; made suck suck in the evening to have bus fare! Had a strong mom holding down the household-when my dad was not working during my years in high school-sewing, baking, going to market at 4am to buy produce for our shop. This is truly our Jamaican story of strength and will power to achieve in life- #skyisthelimit! & Shelly, my family is always cheering you on-keep achieving & accomplishing great things!

    I realized that I am watching this video in Aug 2020, from Canada. I was so inspired by what Shelly-Ann had to say. I am presently writing my book on my life journey due to my near-death in the Toronto SARS outbreak as a critical care nurse. I went blind for over ten years and was in a coma for a month. However, with all that I went through, I regained my vision in 2013 and went back to university with a service dog leading the way to get a master degree with honors. This is the kind of resilience that Shelly-Ann has talked about and try to tell others. It is also the very things that I talked about in my chapters....'My Journey into the realm of consciousness: we don't die' The experiences that we go through built resilience and give us the spiritual toughness to meet the next challenge in our lives. It also raises our life force energy to be better for the next life challenge. Shelly-Ann can't want to watch you in 2021. Love, light and kindness from Canada's far north.

    The young lady gave a powerful interview. Growing up economically challenged in a one room house, and with very little to eat, many of us in that situation felt inferior, and we probably had a low self-esteem. Especially, as the young lady said in the interview, having to be around youths who lived in large houses, and wore nicer clothes. And at school, those youths would be able to buy more and better snacks, and buy better lunches. For example, some of us poor students would buy bread and avacado, or bread and red butter, while the better-off students would buy bread and cheese, or bread, ham and cheese, or bread and sausage. But those challenging times made some of us more ambitious. The hard life made some of us battlefield tough that lead us to overcome obstacles and become successful, we took roadblocks, and made them building blocks. I have a friend who grow up priviledged; lived in a large house, had plenty to eat, drink and wear, but now that we are grown, and all of the older people in his family who kept him on that level have died, the house has deteriorated, and it is some of us poor kids, who are now adults and financially stable, that are helping him with food and other supplies. So young lady, stay strong, and keep climping. Maximum Blessings.
