Jamaica is a real place, built on self-reliance and dignity worth restoring.

She’s always been a body within my body. I know, I just know for sure that I’m not the only one who believes that “if she good, we good.” Right?

As the media coverage fades, my heartache grows for all that’s been lost. In the storm’s aftermath, I fear her cry will drift into the shadows of an algorithm, or worse, be rebuilt only around its coasts. We can’t forget how much this tiny place has given to the world. I won’t quit until her dignity is restored.

Jamaica is a real place, with resilience and real systems.

The road to rebuilding may be a long one, but Jamaicans are some of the most innovative people on earth.

On October 28th, Hurricane Melissa struck the western side of Jamaica as a Category 5 storm. I can only begin to imagine what certain remote communities look like. Having seen a few firsthand, many are self-sustaining and remarkably self-sufficient. Still, I don’t want to gloss over the challenges that lie ahead. True, it’s a small place, but so many around the world take notice. Jamaicans are ultimately tougher than one might expect. There is no doubt that we will rebuild and that Jamaica will once again be NICE for all who live, work, and come to visit!

Jamaica is a real place, and more than just rum and beaches.

My loved ones and ancestors are buried up in the hills deep within the valleys, and scattered across seas.

On social media, Hurricane Melissa may have changed its appearance, but the facts above shall always remain.

Jamaica is a real place, with all kinds of real people.

I’m not quite sure what to say about Hurricane Melissa, but I’m thinking about family, friends, everyone.

I have yet to hear from Villa, but this was the first thing I thought to share.

Stay safe from the storm. 🇯🇲🤞🏾❤️

FREE4ALL: a disorganized or unrestricted situation or event in which everyone may take part, especially a fight, discussion or trading market; a competition, dispute, or battle open to all comers and usually with no rules; BRAWL; the wish, the prayer, the demand, the dream, the search, the gut wrenching, burning meditation shared by people of conscience around the globe, an assemblage of time based media by artists of color for a community of color to explore personal themes of freedom, power, love, and spirituality through self, community, state, nation and world.

Inspired by Art Blakely and the Jazz Messenger’s 1964 album, “FREE FOR ALL,” a transcendent four-track album with the cut “CORE”, a dedication by Freddie Hubbard to the Congress of Racial Equality celebrating their persistence and resourcefulness in CORE’s work for total, meaningful, equality, FREE4ALL is an attempt to sustain the fires of freedom within.

As we move forward, as we prepare to vote, as we continue to live, survive and exist, what are we thinking? What are we saying? What’s are we doing for others? What are we making, packing and distributing for the world to consume? #mamieandweaversultra #free4all #wegotworktodo @belmontalliancecivicassoc_cdc Please share!

$We are pleased to announce that our series “Driver Radio: Jamaica” has made it’s broadcast debut! Episode One “Town Ah Yaad” is airing as a buddy short to the documentary feature “The Picture Taker”, the story of Ernest Withers, a civil rights photographer turned FBI informant. Make sure to look out for it on your local @thirteenwnet or @PBS stations (the rest of our series is available online @funwithronordon)! Massive love and respect to our real heroes – the colorful and diverse Drivers, as well as the local Jamaican crew, who helped give this one of a kind taxi-travel series its charm. On behalf of our team, we are very honored to share our humble story on broadcast television. Jamaica is a real place, and we are thankful for the opportunity to tell a fraction of its abundant stories 🚕🇯🇲💪🏾 So here it is! Our often imitated, never duplicated taxi loving series!
