Big up Trinidad and Jamaica…One Love, I’m from Trinidad and my husband is from Jamaica…my son was on the bus with me when he was 5yrs old heard this lady speaking like his daddy and told her “ I’m from Jamaica, she asked what part of Jamaica you from and he replied…Trinidad “ it was so hilarious 😂😂😂 meanwhile he was born in Jamaica queens N.Y 😂😂😂
That’s a funny story 🤣🤣. I believe the Caribbean people that like in Canada 🇨🇦, USA 🇺🇸 and the UK 🇬🇧 have a different experience. I live in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 and my experience is that Caribbean people are very united. I go to a Caribbean church with people from all over the Caribbean and we also have the biggest Carnival in the world 🌎, so my experience is one love one Caribbean.
Am Jamaican living in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹🇯🇲 am pleased to know this and it will help to strengthen the bonds between the two islands, one love to the Caribbean 🇹🇹🇯🇲🇦🇬🌍 and the world at large ❤❤❤❤
The Caribbean is a beautiful necklace with many gems, let us celebrate each other and don't bring down any island. Many are from other countries and few are indigenous people. I am from TT with a trace of native people. Blessings
Great message, this story proves that it’s ok to celebrate 🎉 people from different islands, we are one Caribbean and many people go from island 🏝️ to island to live, get married and we share in each others culture. One Caribbean one love
I am from T&T and I saw this iconic pic before of this model, but I had no idea she was a Trini. I had no idea there was so much controversy behind this image. I am elated to hear that a statute was made of her iconic image in that famous Jamaica ad. She has represented Jamaica and T&T very well. Much blessings to her!!!!
This would explain the cultural obsession many Jamaicans have for T&T. So the reality is that tourists were tricked into thinking they would find single girls like this in Jamaica, but in reality the island conducted a thorough search and the advertisers settled for an average Indian Trinidadian girl who happened to be in Jamaica at the time on vacation.
Thank you for watching, I would say she was average and she was one of the top Caribbean models in Jamaica 🇯🇲 at the time that fit what they were looking for.
Thank you for watching. Caribbean culture and history is very rich and I hope to bring more of the rich positive impact that Caribbean culture contributes to this world 🌎 that we live in.
Great info I started high school in 74 and while riding the bus to school I would pass by her poster 5 days a week twice a day and I have to admit I was crazy in love with this beautiful woman on the poster because of her I couldn’t wait to get to Jamaica
Except Trinidad have lots of oil revenue Jamaica have tourism which does not generate enough revenue to run the country. Jamaica is force to burrow even the US borrow now over $34 trillion dollars which is destroying the US.
I am a Jamaican let’s not look on it in a negative way she helped bringing tourists to Jamaica the shoe could be on the other foot embrace her celebrate with her and let’s move on the bottom line is we are all Caribbeans love each others 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 one love
@@Naz-rc6mv nonsense you need to know the history of your country and the history of the tourism industry before getting whooped by an ignorant content creator desperate for attention and likes
I remember her face 😊❤ 🇯🇲🇬🇧🇹🇹 thanks for the memories 🖐🏾I have a picture of her for some reason I bought it with me to the UK 🇬🇧 but just couldn’t figure out where I got it. Now I remember. Thanks 🙏🏾
That picture made all Jamaicans proud to see that face in every travel agency one would step into to purchase a plane ticket home and aboard, especially in south Florida, where m any Jamaicans migrated to. It was good until about 1992.
Every teen age boy in Jamaica had a picture of Pam Grier (Foxy Brown) in their room , over their bed. That was quickly replaced for that Jamaican Tourist Board photo. 😊
Thank you for watching, I remember the church had a big problem with it, they called it sex tourism at the time. I also remember people in the street would call the campaign the 4 S campaign, come to Jamaica 🇯🇲 for Sun , Sand , Sea and Sex 🤣🤣🤣
I agree with you 100% what people don’t understand is that when Caribbean people meet in places like New York, London and Toronto we fight together, we go to the same churches we party at the same clubs and most Caribbean people I know are married to someone from a different island 🏝️ so I don’t listen to what people say on social media I know that Caribbean people are one big family, we love each other and we fight sometimes but that’s life.
I am sure that there are many beautiful Jamaican girls but this girl seems to have had some personal relationship with the persons selecting the photo.
Very interesting, Trinidad and Tobago has helped so many other countries, but for some silly reason, some of them seem to have amnesia, they just don’t like or respect Trinidad. Thank you sir for posting 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Thank you for watching, I believe that Trinidad 🇹🇹 is well respected. What people say on social media is very different than what real people are saying, and I live in the most multicultural city in the world 🌎 and Trinidad 🇹🇹 is well respected. Lots of schools in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 has music programs with steel pan lessons and really big up the culture of Trinidad and Tobago , the problem is that you don’t really see the positive side of what’s happening on traditional media.
😅Funny, I don’t remember it as controversial. Maybe I was too young. There wasn’t much rivalry between TT & JA back then. All Power to the model. There were more of a West Indian togetherness with little friction but nowhere as toxic as there are now. Love and Blessings to the Beautiful Model. I hope she benefits greatly from this now - in her old age. 💝 However, Bartley will do anything for tourism because it also puts MONEY in his pocket. He has earned millions of USA$ from it. Ordinary people working in Tourism still living in poverty.🥵
Marketing strategy at time.... It's been said that the rivalry among the Caribbean islands was spread by the British, as political propaganda to stymie the efforts of Caribbean Political Unity among the then emerging "Independent' Islands.
Thank you for that point and I hope you are subscribed because I have a series coming up that will be exploring what really started the Caribbean rivalry especially between Jamaica 🇯🇲 and Trinidad 🇹🇹, and you are correct it’s not the people of these countries it’s the political parties.
I think it's not only because she's a Trini, but also an Indian. Yuh know how the Caribbean people racial. Trinidad would hardly want to promote an Indian person .
In the original story they were really looking for a Jamaican Chinese model but could not find one, and they saw Miss Sintra and thought she would be perfect for the campaign.
I think most people here are being dishonest. Jamaica yes is out of many one people, but the fact that there are Indo Jamaicans, and Chinese Jamaicans and mixed Jamaicans with Indian and Chinese African heritage on the island of Jamaica. They could have waited to choose an actual Jamaican. There are plenty full figured Jamaican women. The women in my family alone as a Jamaican could have met the criteria for the model they were looking for.
Your point is valid and I think if it was the other way around any other island would have a problem with it. If you go on TH-cam you will find the interview with them talking to the guy that made the decision,but again this was 1972 and maybe they just used the first model that fit what they were looking for. But in the interview the guy admits that he knew it would be a problem.
We are our worst enemies. Sad, because when we maintain our accent abroad, 99.9% of the time, foreigners will ask if you are Jamaican. They are less familiar with the other Islands because Jamaicans are more outgoing and popular.
I studied tourism management in Jamaica and we did a paper on the history of that picture on the controversy with the wet T shirt and people asking the question if they were trying to sell sex tourism and the church’s in Jamaica trying to stop the tourist board for using that picture for the campaign.
The Caribbean is big enough to have more than one leader, and everyone should be able to agree that Trinidad 🇹🇹 has been one of the biggest leading island in the Caribbean, in terms of culture like food, music etc.
Iconic to whom?! Maybe to the lascivious, chavunistic old men who at that time were some of the main players in the Jamaican tourist industry.This to many Jamaicans was extremely embarrassing, not necessarily because of the racial or national origin of the model but because of the less than desirable image of Jamaica that it represented. Furthermore, Jamaica did not need this kind of promotion and publicity as the island had always been the the leader in Caribbean tourism. For several decades Jamaica has been the place of choice for British Royalty and A1 Celebrities from both Britain, other parts of Europe, the United States and elsewhere. Many breathed a sigh of relief when the "One Love" promotion was introduced This has become and today remains the most beautiful, meaningful memorable and iconic promotion that the Jamaica Tourist Board and leading tourism interests have produced. Incidentally, the model,who is now a senior citizen, really holds no blame for the decisions made by a few elderly and misguided men of decades ago but the fact that the poster is being memorialized shows that it is not easy for old dogs to learn new tricks and old habits die hard
Well I most agree that the one love Jamaica 🇯🇲 tourist board campaign is the best one coming out of Jamaica. My only issue with that campaign is you can tell that they are only using Bobs legacy to promote Jamaica and they still don’t care about the lifestyle and history of Rastafarian.
@Trinavara If you really want to talk: 😅Ska took a hold on Jamaican ravers in the early 60s- late 60s- Upbeat with horns and harmony. People loved it!💕 A Trini came a long…slows down the beat(messed it up) then ran off to Canada. They call the slow version rocksteady. It lasted for less than ten years. The shortest lived genre of Jamaican music and most boring. Thats Trini 😍🔥
That girl Singh is a born and raised Jamaican of Afro descent mother and Indo descent father in St. Thomas parish before she migrated to Florida with her family when she was a child.
@@misterlexx2721 you are crazy she is an Indian person has the same name singh like me . Do you know what is the meaning of Singh , where ever this name goes it is honored through the world it’s from India from the great people of Punjab. She is not from Afro . Nice to see the Indian goes far. I marry a Jamaican my wife is Singh as well very happy to hear she took her mother title .
@@ronsingh3121 You are talking to a Jamaican of predominantly East Indian ancestry. Of course I know Singh is an Indian origin surname/family name just like mine being " Beharie ". I heard my ancestors who were indentured labourers in Jamaica came from Bihar in India.
Well both men and women, remember shortly after that Jamaica 🇯🇲 had one of the first spring break where college students from the USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 came to Jamaica and got crazy. That was way before they moved it to Mexico 🇲🇽 and then Florida
Thank you for watching, and yes I’m happy that the younger generation of Caribbean people are very proud and know that beauty is in the Caribbean and not just what Hollywood shows on TV and billboards in North America.
@@carib21network you are just as stooped as duty Trinizad Trinidad people,I don't know why would you make a video like this ? You don't have any video about jamaican people? I convince Trinidad gov oay you
Send all Indians to Guyana that Indian country from birth our fore fathers built that country we are oil country now . Indian leadership bring Guyana and Trinidad to this prosperity today . We have a diaspora and it will be to the end of the world .
Dear friend before you wasted your time talking about Indian woman do you have any Jamaican of black descent then put them up , Remember it’s an Indian woman by the name Singh won misses world . I mean you have beautiful black woman but why do you want Chinese and you can’t find now . Why could you find a black descent what happen
I don’t think this story had anything to do with corruption, it was just a marketing campaign that made Miss Sintra the face of Jamaica 🇯🇲 tourism, I understand the controversy with the wet T shirt and the question of the day in 1972, why not use a beautiful black woman. But corruption is a strong word.
This very ingenious and disrespectful to Jamaica it people and history who slaved in the fields hundreds of years through blood sweat and tears to build our homeland and culture.. So all the famous people from Super models, Miss World, Musicians, Philosophers, Artist, Philanthropies, Freedom fighter and heroes aren't the one responsible for Jamaica`s FAME! Nanny of the Maroons, Paul Bogle, Sam Sharp, Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley, Cindy Breakspeare, Carole Crawford, Lisa Hanna, Toni-Ann Singh,Usain Bolt, Shellyann Frazier,Leonard Howell, DJ Kool Herc and the hundreds of thousand of famous Jamaicans and people of Jamaican decent( Biggy Small work wasn't enough for you
I don’t think it’s disrespectful to Jamaica 🇯🇲. She lived and worked in Jamaica and she was apart of one of the biggest ad campaign in the history of the country so I think it’s ok to give her some credit and plus she wasn’t paid royalty on the campaign even though it ran for about 20 years. I’m am a Jamaican living in Canada 🇨🇦 and I see Jamaican being honoured in Canada because of their contributions, so if Jamaica 🇯🇲 honour someone from Trinidad 🇹🇹 that should not be a problem. We are one Caribbean.
@SalmAndrew Never heard that version before, Soca's origins are well documented and attributed..I was kinda focusing on the ironies that makes us different but the same .
Mento, Rocksteady, Reggae,Hip-hop, Rap, Dubstep, Rave, Grime and yes Soca is a spin off of Jamaican Dancehall Music just as Rap is.. Really don't know why some of your countrymen have this chip on their shoulder when it comes on to Jamaicans... Jamaicans are just as proud as black Americans if not prouder and confident. It's just the reality of the people. There is no disrespect of Trinidad or discussion on Trinidad in Jamaica by the average Jamaica save when their are issues with Jamaicans being mistreated by Trini Immigration or some trade dispute when your government put restrictive practices on Jamaican exports to Trinidad. Apart from that Jamaicans don't dislike Trinis
@@TrinavaraYES, YOU AGAIN.😂😂😂😂😂😂TRINIS and your desperate need to claim Reggae. Jamaicans are the reason Reggae is a powerhouse musical genre. If Trinis had any impact Soca would be able to compete with Reggae and Dancehall and it simply CANNOT. JAMAICANS simply possess a creative and unique diversity than you cannot compete with. Have a seat AGAIN.

@@RichardWillis-fn4hg that is your opinion. In my opinion and the ones who put her in the ad she is.
@@carib21network you are just as stooped as duty Trinizad Trinidad people,I don't know why would you make a video like this ? You don't have any video about jamaican people? I convince Trinidad gov oay you
@@Cyanic_868 Its a fact the girl look like a lizard
I often wondered why that was but Alicia Keys who is part Jamaican, redid the photo. I prefer Alicia.
Alicia Keys is not part Jamaican.

Thank you for watching
Dear try using your own folks it seem you don’t have Jamaican girls to replaced her
Dear friend before you wasted your time talking about Indian woman do you have any Jamaican of black descent then put them up , Remember it’s an Indian woman by the name Singh won misses world . I mean you have beautiful black woman but why do you want Chinese and you can’t find now . Why could you find a black descent what happen
I tell you this I am an Indian man I marry a black Jamaican woman do you want me to send my wife ?
Old news
Well the statue to honour her was only a few days ago , so that part is new.
I am tired of hearing about corrupt shit.
I don’t think this story had anything to do with corruption, it was just a marketing campaign that made Miss Sintra the face of Jamaica 🇯🇲 tourism, I understand the controversy with the wet T shirt and the question of the day in 1972, why not use a beautiful black woman. But corruption is a strong word.
This very ingenious and disrespectful to Jamaica it people and history who slaved in the fields hundreds of years through blood sweat and tears to build our homeland and culture.. So all the famous people from Super models, Miss World, Musicians, Philosophers, Artist, Philanthropies, Freedom fighter and heroes aren't the one responsible for Jamaica`s FAME! Nanny of the Maroons, Paul Bogle, Sam Sharp, Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley, Cindy Breakspeare, Carole Crawford, Lisa Hanna, Toni-Ann Singh,Usain Bolt, Shellyann Frazier,Leonard Howell, DJ Kool Herc and the hundreds of thousand of famous Jamaicans and people of Jamaican decent( Biggy Small work wasn't enough for you
I don’t think it’s disrespectful to Jamaica 🇯🇲. She lived and worked in Jamaica and she was apart of one of the biggest ad campaign in the history of the country so I think it’s ok to give her some credit and plus she wasn’t paid royalty on the campaign even though it ran for about 20 years. I’m am a Jamaican living in Canada 🇨🇦 and I see Jamaican being honoured in Canada because of their contributions, so if Jamaica 🇯🇲 honour someone from Trinidad 🇹🇹 that should not be a problem. We are one Caribbean.
Cool, let's talk about a Trini 's impact on early reggae now. 😈
Another clown
Why not talk about Jamaica's impact on Soca which is a spin off of Jamaican Dancehall being the script for Soca emerging from Calypso
@SalmAndrew Never heard that version before, Soca's origins are well documented and attributed..I was kinda focusing on the ironies that makes us different but the same .
Mento, Rocksteady, Reggae,Hip-hop, Rap, Dubstep, Rave, Grime and yes Soca is a spin off of Jamaican Dancehall Music just as Rap is.. Really don't know why some of your countrymen have this chip on their shoulder when it comes on to Jamaicans... Jamaicans are just as proud as black Americans if not prouder and confident. It's just the reality of the people. There is no disrespect of Trinidad or discussion on Trinidad in Jamaica by the average Jamaica save when their are issues with Jamaicans being mistreated by Trini Immigration or some trade dispute when your government put restrictive practices on Jamaican exports to Trinidad. Apart from that Jamaicans don't dislike Trinis
@@TrinavaraYES, YOU AGAIN.😂😂😂😂😂😂TRINIS and your desperate need to claim Reggae. Jamaicans are the reason Reggae is a powerhouse musical genre. If Trinis had any impact Soca would be able to compete with Reggae and Dancehall and it simply CANNOT. JAMAICANS simply possess a creative and unique diversity than you cannot compete with. Have a seat AGAIN.
