    I truly resonated with this episode especially after watching another video of a man sharing all the reasons why he will NEVER live or return to Jamaica. The underlying message that speaks loudly is whenever we live with a sense of purpose outside of ourselves, we tend to tap into a greater energy, and attract more of the same. “We are all stronger together” I love my decision to move here and all the reasons and ways I can add to enhancing this beautiful island rather than just come to take and criticize. Great job 👏🏽

My only hope is that sensible and objective people will read between the lines and extract some valuable life lessons and sift through the ‘bull’. I love and appreciate your work. Everyone is entitled to their views and to share their personal life experiences. I would never knock a person for that-good or bad. I so enjoy your platform. It’s rich and balanced.

    Throp another great interview as always and it's great you both are help people that's less fortunate than yourselves. However, when people have got either a dental or eye problem it's got something to do with a lack of nutrition. It will be a good idea to teach these people about nutrition because it will benefit them in the long run.
    Unfortunately when it comes to poor black people these organisations alway tent to get them involve with either music or sports. They never get them involve with science or engineering for some reason.....smh.....js ...🤔🤔🖤👊🏿🙏🏾

      This Guy said he lived in America and he dont know anything about how the world works.
      Everytime i look at his channel hes inviting more racist people to Jamaica.
      Doesn't he see how Brazil/Cuba/Guyana/Trinidad/Sout AMerica Is?
      WHy does he want Jamaica to be like that?!
