Today, July 23rd 2026 marks the 134th EarthStrong or birthday of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie the 1st. Did you know that Emperor Haile Selassie I donated a school in his name to the people of Jamaica during his historic visit to the island visit in 1966?

60 years later, conscious Hiphop & reggae artists Ras Ceylon & Tuff Like Iron were honored to visit Haile Selassie High School in Kingston, Jamaica, to reason, teach and build with some of the young people attending summer school.

We spoke about elevating your purpose, the importance of education, and our own journeys through music, art and culture—encouraging the students to recognize their gifts and develop them into something meaningful.

We also built on Ethiopian and Rastafari history, the legacy of His Imperial Majesty, and the powerful historical and cultural connections between Ethiopia and Jamaica.

Tuff shared her journey through music, fashion and the art of crocheting, while Ras shared how Hip-Hop, education and his Sri Lankan heritage have shaped his own path.

Give thanks to Chaplain Ibby Lion, Principal Jones, and most importantly, all the brilliant students who welcomed us and shared this powerful reasoning.

Educate the youth. Elevate their purpose. The journey continues. Blessings to the family of Haile Selassie I High School🦁💯👑💚 #RasCeylon #TuffLikeIron #HaileSelassieHigh #RasTafari #EarthStrong
