Really great to be part of the Diaspora Engagement this weekend representing DWICA and the Derby CommUNITY 🇯🇲

A special thank you to Foreign Minister Senator Kamina Johnson Smith JP for personally recognising the Derby community’s donation following Hurricane Melissa. It meant a lot to hear the appreciation for the support coming from Jamaicans overseas, and I was proud to represent everyone in Derby who contributed.

Moments like this remind us how strong our community is and how much the diaspora continues to support Jamaica Land We Love 🇯🇲🇬🇧🇯🇲

Big thank you again to everyone in Derby who played a part. 💚🖤💛

Marcus Garvey once said, “Don’t remove the kinks from your hair; remove them from your mind.”

Truth is, many of us were never taught how to love and care for our hair so we’re creating space for the next generation to do better because, Self-love starts at the roots 🌱
