I must say that Alyshia has brought out the best in Asafa. She has made him come out of his comfort zone. With this level of communication this relationship will be long lived.
Great topic today. I just wanted to say as a Nigerian born in the UK, the culture of the man speaking to the woman’s father is not for showing off. It’s to symbolise respect for the woman’s family and the woman whom you want to marry. It also shows the woman’s family that you are capable of looking after their daughter and that your intentions are honourable. I think it still has a place in modern society for all black people, as it can raise the the dignity and pride in us regarding marriage and relationships so that we don’t take each other for granted. Love you both ❤️🥰
It use to be like that in Jamaica up until about 1960s it changed. Each generation changed the culture. Parents would not allow their children especially girls to marry a man they don't know his family. The man had to meet the family's expectations. They had to marry their equal in class and color. Now, people marry without consulting the parents. They have free choices.
@@AsafaAlyshiaPowell Asafa too young to know the old fashion culture. I'm older than him. In Jamaica up until the 1960s a man had to ask the parents to marry their daughter. He had to be able to provide for her and be from the same social and color class. A stranger couldn't just come and request to marry the girl. Someone had to go and see where he's from. The older Jamaicans were color prejudice. They never wanted their children marry anyone dark. Divorced was looked down on and would be published in the evening news paper called "The Star". That was to shame the couple. The younger generation have moved away from the African traditions. All adults were called Mr, Miss and our parents friends were auntie and uncle. Children were seen and not heard. Women never dressed provocatively or propositioned men. There are still some men in Jamaica who leave the dish on the table and their clothes on the floor for the woman to pick up after them.
Mr. Powell Blessings. In Jamaica the man would ask the brides parent for their daughter and also their Blessings. This younger generation do things differently. Ask your dad, he had to ask for your mom if her parents were alive at the time of their marriage 💑. Blessings 🙌✨🙏
While growing up in Jamaica in the fifties and sixties, it was the norm for the man to go to the intended brides family and ask for her hand in marriage. I haven't lived there since, and I did not know all that has been changed. Speaking of heritage history, I can vaguely remember that it was taught, but maybe not in great depth. Guys, I do have a great appreciation for your growing family (especially those boys) and love all your videos, so please keep them coming 💖 ❤️ 🙏👍
That happened to my son we were on a flight to Jamaica and he heard this white man with the Jamaican accent They are still best friends today because the white Jamaican never heard a Blackman with a Scottish ascent
Hey Mr Mr Powell my husband will 80,on his,next birthday .He get such joy watching you run .He talks about all the time .Only one problem he thinks you are 5ft,tall.We need a bigger tv🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Safa, time for a Ghana trip vlog- would be dope opening eyes to how incredible Ghana is and the similarities- btw - this is what we lack in JA - true culture as in rules of life - not just how we flex - this is why Ghana is low crime - Culture and Traditions
Completely like that as easy as Irene is the radio good evening this is major stories on the phone you need your members of it completely provide any information they may have in relationship the number of communications Mary has been filmed in the morning according to the murderer
Assafa, we were taught about slavery in school , the middle passage and how our ancestors were bought to different Caribbean countries. To this date it still being taught.
Back in the days men used to put on his best Sun day suit and tie on and ask Daddy to marry his daughter.Yes Osaffa men in Jamaica used to do that.Ask your dad he will tell you.
Asafa I rate u alot..I am one of amala friends. Now u said alot of things that isn't true. Even up to the 70s 80s men would go to a woman's parents and ask for her hand in marriage. Also many Jamaicans ensure their children called adults aunt n uncle especially in church . Many Jamaicans especially in rural Jamaica call adult cousins aunt n uncle.
Asafa, I am Jamaican. It is expected that the man ask the parents for the ladies hand in marriage. In some Apostolic and Pentecostal churches, the brother would go to the pastor before the parents. Yes, this happens in Jamaica.
Yuletide Barrett. You are so right. I grew up in this Era in jamaica 🇯🇲. Those were the good old days. I really missed the Jamaica 🇯🇲 of yesterday 😩. Although I spent most of my life in Canada 🇨🇦. I still remember a lot of the good things about my island 🏝.. I haven't been to Jamaica in over 18 years 🙃. A visit is well overdue. So many changes.
Some church men dont even approach the lady. He goes to one of the older ladies and tell her of his admiration of a,certain lady.He then ask the older church lady to speak on his behalf to,see if she will consider talking to him.Pastor gets involved deeply too plus her father.Thats,what the man at church did for my sister but she wasnt interested in him so he seek out another sister in a decent way and marry her a years later .
I remember when I was a youngster in the seventies the guests use to bring money to the wedding place it in a handkerchief and the master of ceremonies would give it to the bride. a symbol that they would have money to start out their lives together. Love you guys
Safa some will ask for the daughter’s hand or asking for the girl in Jamaican culture. But Jamaicans like to be established (education, job) before marriage.
In Jamaica men do ask parents of the female for their Blessings before proposing. It is not very formal if the person is not a Christian but it is used in the culture.
Alyshia that's how we in Jamaica grew up but after it die out that's the reason I keep wondering why when these kids or even teenagers pass people or come where you are and don't even say morning, afternoon, evening or good night aunty/ uncle. And when if you are having big people conversation then they but in and join. I always smh
I have listened intensely your Chat with our great Sprint champion......The Goat..Usain Bolt and was impressed with the level of your discussions. This is definitely what our young and upcoming athletes should be doing. They should be engaging our accomplished star athletes like Sir Usain, yourself and others, so as to get a head start on how to be like you both. However, for the good and greater glory of our country, I would dear to empower yourself and Sir Usain along with other greats to make it a part of your legacies and take the initiative. I would suggest a center for improvement of our young athletes on all subjects including for instance money management. Wishing you both health, and success in your future endeavors..
Old school in Jamaica Asafa, would propose to the girl but she would tell you, you have to talk to my parents also. As you say things have change over the years.
This lady is smart smart! Proverbs 19:14 …a wise, understanding, and sensible wife is [a gift and blessing] from the LORD.” Continue to teach and inspire.
Mr Powell chill out and relax.Listen and embrace your wife's culture!!!,She embraced yours and did the Jamaican wedding only .She didnt have the Gahana wedding so at least be sweet.❤❤❤❤
Nowadays for weddings in Jamaica persons usually put their account number in the invitation for persons to give cash gifts and they may do a wedding list or registry for gifts.
That was a shocker for me, when I came to UWI and met these Chinese students talking pure Jamaican patois. With respect to the Dowry, in Botswana, where I also went to school, they ask for cattle, goats, money and so on. I think as a matter of courtesy and respect, a man should ask the parents for the daughter’s hand. It means a lot to the bride to be.
Back in the day, the groom-to-be would go to the bride's parents and ask for her hand in marriage. Also, some women here in Jamaica, do get pressured to have children
Traditional Marriages are recognized in law in Kenya, l assume it could be the same for a few other Countries in Africa.... The traditional marriage involve 'bride price' or rather appreciation to the brides family. #Africacultureisdiverse
I’m Jamaican and my mother forced me to call all her friends Auntie. I will not force my children to do that. I believe yes, address them by their title Mr., Mrs. or Miss.
It is good to hold on to your culture. The good morals. Alisha's culture is similar to the old time Jamaican culture. I am old school. I love and missed the good morals that was instilled in my generation and the generation long before my generation.
Every stick have dem wow a bush, so no matter where the persons are from and they are to be to gather as wife and husband, nothing or no one can stop the it or stop them. Love u both. Blessings to the Powell's family.
Asafa. It is a shame that the younger generation are drifting away from the good Jamaican culture. Alisha. You are a strong, beautiful, intelligent and respectful young lady. Your mom brought you up well. She instilled all the good morals. You were so obedient. You listened and it paid off. All of this 🙌 made you the beautiful and respected woman that you are today. You are beautiful inside and out. I love your mom. She is a beautiful lady 😍
Jamaican traditional wedding is always the bride family paid for the wedding and the man has to ask for permission to marry her and get the parents blessings.
Appreciate these sessions, Educating n enjoyable. Loved the Ghana students in London for me they were close to Trinis or like trinis. Great great session folks x
Thank you both! I really enjoyed this podcast. And yes I find Jamaican culture today is washed out, they have lost their identity my children will have to learn from the older people or books
I see similarities with Ghana and Jamaica based on what Alyshia said. Some of the things we do in Jamaica is coming from our African foreparents. We were grown to also respect our elders in Jamaica.
I just feel when a man meet that special lady, he will change for her. To him he will do anything for her, he will try his best to live up to her standard🙏🙏
Our culture are very similar and Asafa we do call older persons who are friends with your parents Aunty and Uncle. Also a lot of these practices we used to exercise but the younger generation as you said earlier they're doing away with these culture
I learn so much about different cultures am glad I was born a Jamaican I don't think I could live with African culture but they were born in it so it come natural to them
Happy Tuesday to all. We are taught our History and Manners at schools in Jamaica I am Maroon mixed. Alyshia you will always be a Ghanaian Queen,, wherever you're born that can never change. I visited your country and I loved it,, the food is delicious mi like FuFu. Jamaica has the most mixed diverse people and it's amazing to see love mi people. Wedding day is for the women we need that extra love from everyone attending. No woman should be controlled in a relationship the balance, transparency, respect & communication must be there... make it last forever ✨️ Loads of Love to you Cheers California ✌️ 💛
I love this i am learning and being entertained. Chemistry on point. I love you guys. Every word you guys say is on point.👍👍👍This programme is the best
Great conversation and I love watching your content. I'm glad there are people sharing their kn knowledge about how Jamaican culture has changed regarding marriage rituals. I want to also add that it is not true that Jamaicans don't see themselves as Africans and don't wish to be called/categorized as such. Also, slavery is taught in Jamaican schools and some West African history and especially pan-Africanism and post colonial African history. Unfortunately, most of this is covered in grade 10 and above when students generally get to choose their subjects, so not everyone gets to study these things. Blessings ❤️
Love these fast lane from Asafa young doing athletics I've followed his career and he was always a reserved person which is his personality but Alysia just adds something else to his life which as a man that's what a good wife should do love the union the relationship is blessed 🙏🏽Jamaica 🇯🇲and Ghana 🇬🇭❤️❤️
I am enjoying your conversation about culture.I am a South African .Alyshia is my sister from Ghana.we are. In one continent.Asafa is my brother in law😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
The Ghanaian and other African Continent Countries have a Dowdry dowry price. Even in Jamaica, depending on the family culture a bride price is a must and the father of bride have to make certain that his daughter has a roof above her head to be comfy and happy as a starting point of marriage life. However, this is not practiced Island wide. Thanks loving the topic of discussion and insightful info on culture and cultural norms
@@alviamelecia It may not be widely discussed and or exchanged of monetary funds; but land, status, prestige, pedigree of so to speak of the generations to come from said union. Thus, this is another stigma not discussed in Jamaica unlike other places. So I begged the differ, it does happen and takes place, yet not put out in mainstream public as do other Other older generation may or may can't attest to, but look around, it is obvious. Take for instance, why would a man or woman of certain class want to married someone whom their parents sees abd say a good fit, if it is not a business transaction wrapped up in the guise of marital bliss; when two family are merging to maintaining their status quo and maybe overtime the couples get acclimated with each other and turns to love and mutual respect despite its origin Plus wealthy or well off men are seeking home body girls and make deal for so much parcel of land and her as bride so the country family who wasn't that stable can be somewhat balance for farmer dad gave his daughter's hand to be married to this man who the family deemed stable and responsible to wife their daughter Everything and everyone is a transaction. Nothing is FREE Take marriage, two people coming together in matrimony, that is a transaction and a covenant agreement and the two couples and family wouldn't come together if some type or kind of agreement wasn't spoken therein before the I Do's Just saying. Ponder this
I've heard it said that there are several Jamaicas. I could only speak about the country area I'm from, the urban area where I grew up and my circle- I guess.
Marriage payments, as well as dowry or bride price or bride wealth or bride token, are still in use in 75% of countries globally. Bride price or token is the norm in all of Africa and Asia (from Middle East/West Asia to South Asia and the pacific Islands eg Fiji etc). Indian subcontinent it’s dowry (from Bride’s family to groom’s family) that is most common. It has nothing to do with purchasing a human being or owning them but different cultures have different motivations for it. In European cultures and cultures that have morphed from those traditions the system has changed marriage is no longer about bringing 2 families together but a state contract so you pay marriage certificate to the state to get married. In some western cultures, the father of the bride pays for the wedding (dowry), in some the groom has to pay for an expensive engagement ring (eg 3 months salary or some other ) - bride price. Whichever tradition you follow when it comes to marriage rites there is always a transfer of wealth from one side to the other. Some symbolic and nominal and in some cultures substantial.
Learn about the gift tradition from watching African show where the husband to b would have to ask the wife parents for her hands in marriage then would have to pay Bride price but from aleishas explanation I understand a lot more but it's good to see two persons of different culture learning a lot from each other 😊🙏big up to the Powell's
Hey there Guys! You have to bear in mind that Jamaica is a multi cultural society.... meaning that we are Afro, Indo, Chinese, Syrian, etc. And some of these cultures are still tightly knitted and still practice their individual unique culture although secretly. However because of the dominance of the African culture, others are being overly looked. One thing which is constance with the Jamaican culture on a whole, it's most coveted in a sense that it fits and bears our National Motto. ....Out of Many, One people.. one love Mi Brethren 🙏🙏
I really appreciate this discussion. I endorse the fact that we need to have clear discussions with our children as it relates to sexuality. It is my opinion that the doubts they have will force them to seek clarity and the information received maybe from the wrong source. This can cause further disparities and wrong choices
I must say that Alyshia has brought out the best in Asafa. She has made him come out of his comfort zone. With this level of communication this relationship will be long lived.
That's what compatibility does🙏
Yes they are made for each other.🥰
Asafa back in the days men used to ask the parents of the bride for their hand in marriage I notice it’s not done now 😢
Dem juss grab a gall an seh mek wi married.
Yeah! I never knew culture could change, ours has changed a lot, I really hoped most things would have stayed the same
@@leonietaylor7054. Lol. So true 👍. Caveman style. Justin grab and guh. Lol 😆
Yes it's apart of our culture here...not sure why it's not taking place nowadays
This is so true. That seems like it’s off the past. I think we should go back to that a Jamaican tradition.

Lol
I can never get too much of listening to you both. It’s so enjoyable and refreshing ❤❤❤❤
Thank you
No wonder you guys work, you have a lot of commonalities in basic things like manners, respect, and discipline. 💕
Yes
Back in the days in the Jamaican , men asked parents for their daughter 's hand in marriage.
Nice I didn’t know this
Even up to the 80s
They don't do that now, so this generation isn't traditional... So he's speaking from his experience and how he specialized .
Asafa you have found a good woman. He that found a good woman hath found a good thing. Alysia you have found a good man. Blessings to you both 🙏🏾
I Just Love the Love That you Guys have for each other! It’s Amazing! Honeymoon ! Here comes Asashia!!
Lovely episode...and yes Asafa....Men still do ask the parents permission or blessing to marry their daughters....😊😊😊😀😀😀.
Especially christians

@@AsafaAlyshiaPowell Make sure you link up with WODE MAYA when you go.

Assafa, we were taught about slavery in school , the middle passage and how our ancestors were bought to different Caribbean countries. To this date it still being taught.
@Shakira - I wish I was taught about slavery when I was at school in the UK. Thankfully my Jamaican father did and I am very grateful for that 🙏🏾
Back in the days men used to put on his best Sun day suit and tie on and ask Daddy to marry his daughter.Yes Osaffa men in Jamaica used to do that.Ask your dad he will tell you.
. Thus is so true 👍
I was brought up just like what Alysia said and I am Jamaican. I really enjoyed you both, thanks again for sharing.

YES MR POWELL SLAVERY PLAYED A GREAT PART.BUT I STILL BELIEVE IN RESPECT,HONOUR AND DIGNIFIED BEHAVIOUR.
I am Jamaican and was taught about slavery in school, maybe its not taught now. Enjoyed the chat.
Who knows a lot is changing now
It's still taught, a bit annoying because slavery is not the only aspect of our ancestors experience.
Thanks for sharing Asafa and Alyshia. You both have a lot in common ❤❤
Love the episode, keep on shining PowPows!

Great conversation and I love watching your content. I'm glad there are people sharing their kn knowledge about how Jamaican culture has changed regarding marriage rituals. I want to also add that it is not true that Jamaicans don't see themselves as Africans and don't wish to be called/categorized as such. Also, slavery is taught in Jamaican schools and some West African history and especially pan-Africanism and post colonial African history. Unfortunately, most of this is covered in grade 10 and above when students generally get to choose their subjects, so not everyone gets to study these things. Blessings ❤️

Yes, AKAN region, they say you can't give someone something with left hand. Other cultures have that too.

The Ghanaian and other African Continent Countries have a Dowdry dowry price. Even in Jamaica, depending on the family culture a bride price is a must and the father of bride have to make certain that his daughter has a roof above her head to be comfy and happy as a starting point of marriage life. However, this is not practiced Island wide.
Thanks loving the topic of discussion and insightful info on culture and cultural norms
No bride price in Jamaica. Marriage is not a transaction between families here.

It may not be widely discussed and or exchanged of monetary funds; but land, status, prestige, pedigree of so to speak of the generations to come from said union.
Thus, this is another stigma not discussed in Jamaica unlike other places. So I begged the differ, it does happen and takes place, yet not put out in mainstream public as do other
Other older generation may or may can't attest to, but look around, it is obvious.
Take for instance, why would a man or woman of certain class want to married someone whom their parents sees abd say a good fit, if it is not a business transaction wrapped up in the guise of marital bliss; when two family are merging to maintaining their status quo and maybe overtime the couples get acclimated with each other and turns to love and mutual respect despite its origin
Plus wealthy or well off men are seeking home body girls and make deal for so much parcel of land and her as bride so the country family who wasn't that stable can be somewhat balance for farmer dad gave his daughter's hand to be married to this man who the family deemed stable and responsible to wife their daughter
Everything and everyone is a transaction. Nothing is FREE
Take marriage, two people coming together in matrimony, that is a transaction and a covenant agreement and the two couples and family wouldn't come together if some type or kind of agreement wasn't spoken therein before the I Do's
Just saying. Ponder this
I've heard it said that there are several Jamaicas. I could only speak about the country area I'm from, the urban area where I grew up and my circle- I guess.
No first name to parents or adults in Jamaica. Close friends say auntie or uncle to adult friends. In Jamaica. But things have change.
Marriage payments, as well as dowry or bride price or bride wealth or bride token, are still in use in 75% of countries globally. Bride price or token is the norm in all of Africa and Asia (from Middle East/West Asia to South Asia and the pacific Islands eg Fiji etc). Indian subcontinent it’s dowry (from Bride’s family to groom’s family) that is most common. It has nothing to do with purchasing a human being or owning them but different cultures have different motivations for it.
In European cultures and cultures that have morphed from those traditions the system has changed marriage is no longer about bringing 2 families together but a state contract so you pay marriage certificate to the state to get married. In some western cultures, the father of the bride pays for the wedding (dowry), in some the groom has to pay for an expensive engagement ring (eg 3 months salary or some other ) - bride price.
Whichever tradition you follow when it comes to marriage rites there is always a transfer of wealth from one side to the other. Some symbolic and nominal and in some cultures substantial.
Learn about the gift tradition from watching African show where the husband to b would have to ask the wife parents for her hands in marriage then would have to pay Bride price but from aleishas explanation I understand a lot more but it's good to see two persons of different culture learning a lot from each other 😊🙏big up to the Powell's
Bride price is really given to the bride so she can start a business that in the end will benefit both partners

Hey there Guys! You have to bear in mind that Jamaica is a multi cultural society.... meaning that we are Afro, Indo, Chinese, Syrian, etc. And some of these cultures are still tightly knitted and still practice their individual unique culture although secretly. However because of the dominance of the African culture, others are being overly looked. One thing which is constance with the Jamaican culture on a whole, it's most coveted in a sense that it fits and bears our National Motto. ....Out of Many, One people.. one love Mi Brethren 🙏🙏
Good morning to the Powells family and friends ❤
Good morning
This video is interesting the Gana culture is so interesting I learn alot of things about them
🙌🏽
I really appreciate this discussion. I endorse the fact that we need to have clear discussions with our children as it relates to sexuality. It is my opinion that the doubts they have will force them to seek clarity and the information received maybe from the wrong source. This can cause further disparities and wrong choices
Very pleasant and interesting conversation
Thank you
