Hi Maria, Stand by ur man , I love the way u hold it together. You are such a beautiful soul, inside out Ppl will always talk but u n ur husband have the last say.God bless u all
Their reality does not have to be yours. If not only for your safe, for Island make it work. Tyrone you and I share the same surname prove them wrong. Your wife and son are depending on you. Love you guys. ❤
Maria, your elegance and grace shines through in all that you do. All I can say is, you have some small minded, ignorant ppl in the comments section. God help them, they need some education!
I just want to say I was living in Jamaica for 25 years . I raised my two girls there ( father is jamaican), they both went to a ordinary public school not a private school. They are both studying here in Germany now. So if Island should go in Portland to school the sky is the limit. I love Jamaica too with all my heart most people are really nice. With a few exceptions as it is the case anywhere else in the world. There are idiots here in Germany as well. Take care of yourself. Greetings from Gaby "germaican experience "
Maria, I'm so sorry that you and your family are being subjected to this type of hate just because you want to give us content and show the struggles of an LDR. It's the world we live in where everyone thinks they are entitled to tell you what's good for you and how to live your life. Please stay strong and I can't wait for Afriki to be there with you permanently and watch sweet little Island grow up ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ lots of love and light to you always xoxo
Love can overcome all jealousies Maria and Tyrone, some of these people who are commenting negatives need someone in their lives. Keep the faith guys, when God say yes nobody can say no,baby Island little cutie,.
My sister is a Jamaican and marry to a Chinese man and gave him two beautiful Chinese daughter .My other sister is black and marry an Italian man for 35yrs and live the best life until he pass away only 5months ago.My sisters didn't see the color of their spouse skin they both love and respect their husband.I admire you both and island don't worry what people said you go enjoy your life together and remember put God in it
Hi, I'm new to your channel. I'm a Jamaican born girl, marry a European man from I was almost 19, now 20 years later it's seems like yesterday. We adores Jamaica and by the way , the same question some women dears to ask you, it was the same sole women in his country ask him. They said we would not make it, but look at us 20 years later. I watch you and it's seems like I have known you . By the way, little island boy is adorable and you are a gift to your great husband. In Jamaica people judge people by their job without even understanding that no matter the job when two hearts collides they can create of life of happiness and attain greatness. Stay blessed.
Maria, you are correct, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and when you make yourself accessible to the public, you will undoubtedly be subjected to people and their negative views..These negative views can either be very nasty or some might make you pause and think what is this person's real point. At the end of the day, I am sure the positive comments and the love people show waaay outnumber all the bad. Blessings to the family, love watching vlogs.
I lived in one of the worst communities for years. My mom was a single parent working a blue collar job. Now, I have my bachelor's degree and my own business. You can raise your kid ANYWHERE.
Maria, as I told you before these people are pure jealous. Everyone that sees. you two together can see that you are both in love. You have nothing to apologized for. Just enjoy your life with your husband and your beautiful son. I wish you good luck and may GOD continues to bless you and your family.
Hey island girl don't pay bad mind people no attention live the life u love love the life u live don't make them get the best of you don't stop loving your husband and ur beautiful son keep up the good work god bless ♥️♥️♥️😁🥰🙏
Hi Maria, how are you? Maria what the Stevens do is extreme. Opposition is good. Without opposition our 'measuring stick' in life is limited . Maria you know the majority loves your family. We are proud of you, Afriki and little Island boy. People are envious... white, black, and in between. The sky is the limit for Afriki. With love and respect for each other the NAY SAYERS will eat their words. You are Blessed and it cannot be reversed.💪👏🙌🙏🙏♥️😊We love you!
Very good answer to there question, and that person don't know what she is talking about,from the UK. All you do pray for a happy and healthy marriage.
Well said Norma. And much respect to you Maria for responding to the comments. Turning off comments would only prevent the subscribers that love and enjoy your show from expressing their love and support! People need to realize “Love knows no bounds”💚💛🖤 Nuff love and respect Island Family🇯🇲
We have to emancipate ourself from mental slavery. Don't let anything stop us from moving forward. We have to hold our heads up, be bold and step into the future.
I don’t know why you have to explain yourself to these stupid and bad minded people who don’t know about Australia and the history of Australia. I am a British citizen and have parents from Jamaica. My daughter is now living in Australia and is doing very well and have become a citizen. Love comes when you not looking no matter the race or creed, so it’s none of their God damn business. You got one life to live and live it to the best you can. God bless
Australia is very racist. I have many friends who live there, my brother S well as cousins who have travelled there. Anyone that is a person of color that I know that visits Australia always feels it and/or had verbal/physical altercation due to an local aussie being racist to them both drunk and not drunk locals. Terrible.
Your boy would be perfectly fine being raised wherever, it's in your parenting skills that's directs the part ur child or children's take to become productive citizens whereever.👍🏿
Look how humble Maria is. You would think she living large, don't have to work, inherit wealth and splurging. Some people talking as if he is going after money. I'm so happy he is coming to help take some load of your shoulders with Island and also to be there in his life. These early years are most important
Yep... these are indeed the most crucial years in a baby's life ... especially boys. He is needed greatly. How I look forward to his dad's arrival.🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽
The amount of love you receive will out do the negative comments, I've been watching for a while and I had to subscribe today, Maria you are such a calm and gentle soul keep doing what you and your husband doing..Love always wins BTW Island is such a adorable babyboy 💙
Portlander here...my first episode. Im sorry about that comment but Portland is an ideal place for Island to have a rich childhood. Most beautiful and safest place in Jamaica where the people are welcoming. Home is where you and your feel happy and fulfilled. And some of the best husband's are not those who have a college degree or go to work in a suit. Once your husband loves you and respects you as his queen you're blessed. Best wishes to you and your family. PS. I love Life with the Stevens
Some people have no experience and idea of love. Love has no boundaries knows no color, creed or nationality. Some people's mindset is twisted and evil. Love you guys 👦 ❤
Why are we so hateful towards each other . It’s so good to see persons living their lives in love . All the best to you and your family and money doesn’t buy love . You seems like such a kind person
They hate because they dont have what he has now. They forget that when God create you he already planned your life. God already planned that your husband will not suffer. He was not looking for a woman from Australia love found him
We Jamaica love put down our own country and each other. People are just people where ever you go black or white. Educated or uneducated don't make you a special person, God made us all, all we really need is love and unity and stop discriminating. Love you both, I love and admire you both just let true love rain and you both will make it don't matter how. I am a Jamaican and I even hate how we think about each other right in our own country. Thinking some is better than some because of our colour, education, where in the country you live, how big is your house a lot of rubbish we need to wise up and have more unity
Maria tiny things please tiny minds… love has no colour.. some people have nothing else to do ignore them.l was married to a Jamaican man here in the U.K. nobody paid no mind at all, we had a big fat English Jamaican wedding, his Sisters and in-laws did all the Jamaican food we had our reception in a West Indian club and both his family and mine had the best day ever,ignore these ppl love ❤️ it’s their opinion which quite rightly you say they are entitled to and I agree but some times it would be better if they kept them to themselves, hope you can just move away from negative comments,you are a ⭐️ and baby Island is the most beautiful product of your love for each other, onward and upward Maria.xxxxx
That Portlander is a bad minded person, why would she say the parish wouldn't be good for your child. You have children from Germany growing up in Portland, and are doing exceptional well. Your husband's occupation should not be a problem, she's downright out of order. I'm a Jamaican, I've seen many foreigners living in Jamaica for years, that's how we derived our motto, " out of many one people "
Hi girl some of these people dont leave this country i am person i go into other countries i can see youre hurting but you answer perfectly some of these Jamaica dont want to see their own strive Love conquers all my Dear you both love each other thats all that matters dont let these negitve talks get you down blessing and take care of my fellow Jamaican let youre love shines🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I second this comment that's what i was saying they shouldn't know anything about him getting the visa, them should just see him in Australia united with his wife and son. Because some people is so cruel and badmind.
I love your content and your kind heart. I was born in Jamaica and migrated to the states in the early 80’s. Jamaica 🇯🇲 motto is out of many one people. We have black people, white, Chinese, Indian and many different races. People can be so ignorant with their comments. Nuff love and respect to you and your family.
Someone has to be a fisherman, how the neck back are your going to get fish. People seem to put down people who do so called menialjobs (low paid jobs) but someone has to do that job. It doesn’t mean they are not or can’t be educated.
I like how you handle yourself and the crictics on your blogs every single time....your husband will adjust just like every one else that moved to a different country ....he will be just fine there is discrimination every where in the world no one can escape it. Jamaica has its problems in terms of the crime there but its a beautiful country but i think the person may be right ...your son would be better off if he was brought up in your country...am from st.kitts but been living here in the British virgin islands for over thirty years.....I know you love your husband and he does to and thats the bottom line to hell with what other people think....Just do you.
Regardless of where you all choose to live or settle Jamaica or Australia, As long as Afriki uses his opportunity to upgrade his skill or master his current skill more he will more than be able to provide for your family. Having a strong bond and being able to support each other through any and everything is KEY in how Island will become as a youngman are of the examples set for him from you both. Stand strong and do not allow the public to pulldown ANYTHING you guys build. Bless Up & Stay strong Everytime💪🏾🙏🏾🇯🇲🙏🏾💪🏾
Exactly ,I just hate these type of people,why don't they keep the nasty comments to themselves ,in every thing u do you will always have haters ,so u can't meds them
Island is so cute. Don't let the negative comments get you down. People are so mean and ugly.. God bless you and your family. ❤️🌹🙏🙏I am so surprised to some of these comments that are nothing short of being racial. Your happiness is all that matters. This is so unfair to you and your beautiful family. Jamaicans enjoy their friendship with other nationals. But its sad some of them don't accept other nationals mixing with their own. Most of them accept you, but a few in between find some nonsense to make you feel bad.. Speaking from experience as someone married to a Jamaican. After many many years, I now feel comfortable.
Hi Maria happy day days from Montego bay Jamaica... Please my dear don't listen to those unhappy jealous ppl .. obviously you and hubby are living a happy life which they are jealous of ... It's really sad to hear a Jamaican speaking so rudely of another Jamaican Afriki be happy go be with your beautiful family leave the haters , their lives are so sad and they trying to pull you down, I'm praying for you guys... SimSim from Mobay
EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO DECIDE THIER 0WN DESTINY NO MATTER THE COLOUR CLASS OR RACE...STICK BESIDE YOUR HUSBAND MY DEAR NO ONE KNOWS YOUR FEELINGS BUT YOU..PPL GONNA TALK REGRADLESS THATS JUST HOW IT IS..LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HUN...IAM ALSO A JAMAICAN.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Maria...I agree with you...Leave on your comments b/c most of these people are keyboard bullies & if you see them in real life they wouldn't say it to your face.. I follow the Steven's & I noticed that a few wks now that they both lock their comments off & thats not a good look...its making the keyboard bullies feel like they can control the Steven's narrative..cant live your life for or in fear of what other people think I think they are gonna lose subscribers b/c of this Bless Up...Jamaican living in North Carolina 🇯🇲
I use to follow them and support them but with the comments off I feel they don't want to interact with their subscribers now it's a paid subscription. Although I do understand negative comments can be hurtful and Errol doesn't like to see Swaggy hurt, he's protecting her which he should. I still like them but they should have made a statement to all of us who had their backs. Plus since they moving to Richmond some people being very mean out of jealousy. I think at the end of the day they want tranquility so comments are off. I still like them.
@@eileenwatt8283 - I also missed the communication but I understand the Stevens situation. They did inform their viewers that they would be turning off the comments. I wished that they didn’t, but at the end of the day, it’s best that Swaggy is happy. The negative comments about their children hurt me so much and they’re not even my children, I could just imagine how much more it hurt them both.
Maria what amazes me is that some of the naysayers are anonymous...not brave enough to say who they are. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion; however, spreading negativity is a form of jealousy. Unfortunately some people just can't be happy for others. I'm glad you're a strong woman so continue to.do what you're doing and may God continue to bless you, your hubby and little Island.
Its really strange that some ppl look down on those from humble beginnings when many Jamaicans are themselves from that similar background. Your husband can become whatever he wants to be ...forget the naysayers
You're strength is admirable and your words are very encouraging. Block the Haters and continue to let LOVE win. You're just getting started. All the best to you and your family ❤. Jamaican living in California.
Maria hun fist time subscriber and also commenting love you are so down to earth humble contented just love watching your videos the only thing I was frightened about is when going to the river u are so brave love your baby boy he looks so smart he will be brilliant u go girl I love Australia hope one day I will have the money to see that place may God continues blessing u from Trinidad and Tobago bless
I will forever love and respect this channel.love how u address these comments. People will never change Maria just keep on doing what you doibg and be there for family. God bless you i will forever keep guys in my prayers.
These people are too disrespectful and sick in there head. Lord have mercy why they have to be looking into your life. Stay strong I agree with you one hundred percent. Love you guys.
What da hell? What does she mean? Is she saying nobody in Portland has come to anything? A which hole shi a come out a. I am Jamaican and I am terribly hurt with her statements. A person can be anything he/she wants to be regardless of where he/she comes from. Maria, nuh pay dem no mind, luv yu man and treat him well, likewise he should do the same.
As a fellow Jamaican I can see that you are competent parents and you know what's best for your child. Educate and raise your child where you wish. He will be a good contribution to his town and even his country. Love you guys.
Hi Maria. There will always be negative talks but at the end of the day use those negatives and turn into positives. Just wish you both God's blessing. God is not partial, h ed loves us all. Be there for your husband. Marriage is honorable thing and when god is in a marriage problems will be few. Best of blessings.
Maria all your answers to the questions are on point. I keep doing you and your husband. People are too negative we can't make them make us feel low. Those people need Jesus ❤💖💯🇯🇲
You're so cool😎calm and collected. Kudos to you my dear. You've said it well. Tell all a Di nay sayers 'fi guh eat grass' dem too judgemental. It's not their life, it's yours and your family...so live it my dear!! God bless🇯🇲💖
Hi Maria, I am a new subscriber who has watched quite a number of your videos over the last 3 weeks. I am extremely happy for you both, just trust God, continue loving each other, overlook the HATERS, they will always be around. Bless up
Hey Maria "Live for today as 2mrw is promised to no one!" Love conquers ALL hate doesn't achieve anything but pure bitterness jealousy & an early death! You are Di Island Family enjoy your lives together with your surrounding families & friends. Regarding the comments you are receiving unfortunately, having social media platforms you will attract negative ppl & as you say they are entitled to their opinions. Me personally, I would not have replied or given the haters a platform which you did by sharing on here bcoz you are giving them a voice! 💯💝👨👩👦💪🏾🇯🇲🙌🏾
Maria will eventually do what the # MTM family. They have learnt to ignore the negative comments. They add numbers to your page... let them stay . Don't block them...
Maria, you know what? I love your style, You are an excellent beautiful, intelligent 🤓 and blessed Lady. Enjoy your family and let negativity piss off, You are an intelligent woman. I’m from SM Jamaica 🇯🇲. Living in Scotland 🏴
Maria I am from Jamaica and Portland is my parish of birth but I am living in the corporate area kingston,Kingston, I'm telling Portland is the 7 richest parish in Jamaica ,it a film area ,titchfield is one of the best high school in Jamaica, and lots of scholar come from that school, simple speaking is bad mine killing them , they don't like to see their own black people survive ,don't watch those comment,they are negative, no merit in them, just live ur life with who u love, ur husband can upgrade himself, and found a good job.
@@winstonmanahan9058 you’re on point with your comment. As a Portlander myself I’m rooting for her husband. Pretty decent guy, well spoken just waiting for an opportunity to get out there like most of us. I’m so rooting for this beautiful young family
Hi Maria you owe no explanation to anyone your destiny and journey is yours please live your life and be happy please ! I admire you both so much I love your family you are indeed an inspiration 🙏🙏🙏 I am a jamaican Loctician living in Montego Bay

Every area of life needs that one skilled person, whether he is a fisherman or a bus conductor…be the best fisherman and the best conductor you can ever be and you will Be respected.
Hi Maria I am new to your blog. I am a Jamaican but living in Turks and Caicos Islands. I must say that I love how you respond to the comments. Everyone mind set way of thinking is different , you just have to know what you stand for and stand on it. Stay blessed
Hi Maria,
Stand by ur man , I love the way u hold it together. You are such a beautiful soul, inside out
Ppl will always talk but u n ur husband have the last say.God bless u all
Love you guys, very humble stick with God
Their reality does not have to be yours.
If not only for your safe, for Island make it work. Tyrone you and I share the same surname prove them wrong. Your wife and son are depending on you.
Love you guys. ❤
So beautiful
Maria, your elegance and grace shines through in all that you do. All I can say is, you have some small minded, ignorant ppl in the comments section. God help them, they need some education!
Thankyou blessings lady J
I had taken a liking to you and your family, but this video has solidified my admiration. I agree with every single word you've said.
I just want to say I was living in Jamaica for 25 years . I raised my two girls there ( father is jamaican), they both went to a ordinary public school not a private school. They are both studying here in Germany now. So if Island should go in Portland to school the sky is the limit. I love Jamaica too with all my heart most people are really nice. With a few exceptions as it is the case anywhere else in the world. There are idiots here in Germany as well. Take care of yourself.

@@awadiaby1673 True. But that does not eradicate my point.
Maria, as I told you before these people are pure jealous. Everyone that sees. you two together can see that you are both in love. You have nothing to apologized for.

Fishermen are hunters. They are great and hard worker who provide for their family. Jamaican men the ones in my life always take of their families.
You handled these questions so well Maria. God bless your family!
Some people have no experience and idea of love. Love has no boundaries knows no color, creed or nationality. Some people's mindset is twisted and evil. Love you guys 👦 ❤

Why are we so hateful towards each other . It’s so good to see persons living their lives in love . All the best to you and your family and money doesn’t buy love . You seems like such a kind person

Someone has to be a fisherman, how the neck back are your going to get fish. People seem to put down people who do so called menialjobs (low paid jobs) but someone has to do that job.
It doesn’t mean they are not or can’t be educated.
Exactly!🇯🇲🇨🇦
True that job is paying the bills
All of what you said Karen 🙌🏿🙌🏿
Education comes in many forms...expand your minds people.
This right here! Yes!
I love the fact that you guys are humble and your relationship is full of love. You won the hearts of many and we love you and your family.
First lady keep on loving ❤ 💕 your husband love has no boundaries stay strong jah bless. Straight out of the United States 🇺🇸
Island looks so much like his Dad.
Can I tell you 😀 Daddy’s twin
Yes such a cutie
I always said it
MARIA NEGATIVE WILL NEVER DIE. U JUST KEEP BEING A GOOD WIFE AND MOTHER. PEACE
I like how you handle yourself and the crictics on your blogs every single time....your husband will adjust just like every one else that moved to a different country ....he will be just fine there is discrimination every where in the world no one can escape it.
Jamaica has its problems in terms of the crime there but its a beautiful country but i think the person may be right ...your son would be better off if he was brought up in your country...am from st.kitts but been living here in the British virgin islands for over thirty years.....I know you love your husband and he does to and thats the bottom line to hell with what other people think....Just do you.
Respect Maria love you sis! Love the Stevens family too. Beautiful families showcasing their lives !
Love is love! I love how you handle all these comments..❤️
Regardless of where you all choose to live or settle Jamaica or Australia, As long as Afriki uses his opportunity to upgrade his skill or master his current skill more he will more than be able to provide for your family.
Having a strong bond and being able to support each other through any and everything is KEY in how Island will become as a youngman are of the examples set for him from you both. Stand strong and do not allow the public to pulldown ANYTHING you guys build. Bless Up & Stay strong Everytime💪🏾🙏🏾🇯🇲🙏🏾💪🏾
So much fishermen in Jamaica have educated children
Exactly ,I just hate these type of people,why don't they keep the nasty comments to themselves ,in every thing u do you will always have haters ,so u can't meds them
Lord have mercy... these comments are pretty awful.. love is love. Why can't we live and let live?
Hi my friend.that your choice of your husband.I am happy for u.don't let anyone bring u down.and I love your cute baby.Trinidad here.
Please don't listen to the negative comments, love your family and keep doing your best. Best of luck to you all.
Island is so cute. Don't let the negative comments get you down. People are so mean and ugly.. God bless you and your family. ❤️🌹🙏🙏I am so surprised to some of these comments that are nothing short of being racial. Your happiness is all that matters. This is so unfair to you and your beautiful family. Jamaicans enjoy their friendship with other nationals. But its sad some of them don't accept other nationals mixing with their own. Most of them accept you, but a few in between find some nonsense to make you feel bad.. Speaking from experience as someone married to a Jamaican. After many many years, I now feel comfortable.
Why these negative comments now. THEY did not no he was going to get through to join his family .People please think positive.
Hi Maria happy day days from Montego bay Jamaica... Please my dear don't listen to those unhappy jealous ppl .. obviously you and hubby are living a happy life which they are jealous of ... It's really sad to hear a Jamaican speaking so rudely of another Jamaican Afriki be happy go be with your beautiful family leave the haters , their lives are so sad and they trying to pull you down, I'm praying for you guys... SimSim from Mobay
Jamaicans just feel like america, canada and england is the only country we can go
What you saying is real dont listing to no one he love you anyone love him an that all that matters
Yes and will sell their souls for visas to these places.
EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO DECIDE THIER 0WN DESTINY NO MATTER THE COLOUR CLASS OR RACE...STICK BESIDE YOUR HUSBAND MY DEAR NO ONE KNOWS YOUR FEELINGS BUT YOU..PPL GONNA TALK REGRADLESS THATS JUST HOW IT IS..LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HUN...IAM ALSO A JAMAICAN.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Maria...I agree with you...Leave on your comments b/c most of these people are keyboard bullies & if you see them in real life they wouldn't say it to your face..
I follow the Steven's & I noticed that a few wks now that they both lock their comments off & thats not a good look...its making the keyboard bullies feel like they can control the Steven's narrative..cant live your life for or in fear of what other people think
I think they are gonna lose subscribers b/c of this
Bless Up...Jamaican living in North Carolina 🇯🇲
Yes Karen H... its a form of cowardice. Making the haters win. Dont compare yourself with the Stevens. Compare yourself with # MTM family.
Think so too
I used to watch them and loved the interaction in the comment section, but I lost interest which sucks
I use to follow them and support them but with the comments off I feel they don't want to interact with their subscribers now it's a paid subscription. Although I do understand negative comments can be hurtful and Errol doesn't like to see Swaggy hurt, he's protecting her which he should. I still like them but they should have made a statement to all of us who had their backs. Plus since they moving to Richmond some people being very mean out of jealousy. I think at the end of the day they want tranquility so comments are off. I still like them.
@@eileenwatt8283 - I also missed the communication but I understand the Stevens situation. They did inform their viewers that they would be turning off the comments. I wished that they didn’t, but at the end of the day, it’s best that Swaggy is happy. The negative comments about their children hurt me so much and they’re not even my children, I could just imagine how much more it hurt them both.
Maria what amazes me is that some of the naysayers are anonymous...not brave enough to say who they are. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion; however, spreading negativity is a form of jealousy. Unfortunately some people just can't be happy for others. I'm glad you're a strong woman so continue to.do what you're doing and may God continue to bless you, your hubby and little Island.
I believe he have a good heart and you both are going places island boy is growing up so fast he to cute
Its really strange that some ppl look down on those from humble beginnings when many Jamaicans are themselves from that similar background. Your husband can become whatever he wants to be ...forget the naysayers
True true my dear, they parents bring them up that way. Don't let no one spoil your joy. ❤❤💯
I like the way she responded. Love it maria🇯🇲 big up👍🙏
Love has no boundaries or colour... God bless your union Marie!
You're strength is admirable and your words are very encouraging. Block the Haters and continue to let LOVE win. You're just getting started. All the best to you and your family ❤. Jamaican living in California.
Love your response to the negative comments Maria. Well said 👏🏽
That's right stand up for your man I really love your family watching from St invent

Hi Maria, just want to say you and your lovely family are blessed 💕
Maria, never mind those badminded people! They are just jealous.
What da hell? What does she mean? Is she saying nobody in Portland has come to anything? A which hole shi a come out a.
I am Jamaican and I am terribly hurt with her statements. A person can be anything he/she wants to be regardless of where he/she comes from.
Maria, nuh pay dem no mind, luv yu man and treat him well, likewise he should do the same.
You are always welcome to Jamaica for life! And you are right about Island.
I appreciate you guys as you are explaining yourself to this judgemental world is useless
I can tell you love each other and that all that matters
As a fellow Jamaican I can see that you are competent parents and you know what's best for your child. Educate and raise your child where you wish. He will be a good contribution to his town and even his country. Love you guys.
Hi Maria. There will always be negative talks but at the end of the day use those negatives and turn into positives. Just wish you both God's blessing. God is not partial, h ed loves us all. Be there for your husband. Marriage is honorable thing and when god is in a marriage problems will be few. Best of blessings.
So true👍👍
You're level headed and mature in your way of thinking...and very strong. You have a new subbie here
Thankyou for subbing

Hey Maria
"Live for today as 2mrw is promised to no one!"
Love conquers ALL hate doesn't achieve anything but pure bitterness jealousy & an early death! You are Di Island Family enjoy your lives together with your surrounding families & friends. Regarding the comments you are receiving unfortunately, having social media platforms you will attract negative ppl & as you say they are entitled to their opinions. Me personally, I would not have replied or given the haters a platform which you did by sharing on here bcoz you are giving them a voice! 💯💝👨👩👦💪🏾🇯🇲🙌🏾
Maria will eventually do what the # MTM family. They have learnt to ignore the negative comments. They add numbers to your page... let them stay . Don't block them...
first time here . Your words are strong and positive. Thank you.
Thankyou for tuning in
all things are possible he can accomplish anything he sets his mind to one 💕💕💕💕💕
Avesta, never know there was someone else with my name
A lot of German people living in Westmoreland jamaica maybe u would find ur roots there from jamaica

Blessings and thankyou for your words. 🙌🙏☺️
I love both families. Be yourself and travel the world if you can. You can never please everyone.
Thanks for being so honest throughout this entire video 👍
Someone doesn’t realize that Australia is pretty diverse, a lot of Asians and Africans.
Maria I am from Jamaica and Portland is my parish of birth but I am living in the corporate area kingston,Kingston, I'm telling Portland is the 7 richest parish in Jamaica ,it a film area ,titchfield is one of the best high school in Jamaica, and lots of scholar come from that school, simple speaking is bad mine killing them , they don't like to see their own black people survive ,don't watch those comment,they are negative, no merit in them, just live ur life with who u love, ur husband can upgrade himself, and found a good job.
True 👍
@@winstonmanahan9058 you’re on point with your comment. As a Portlander myself I’m rooting for her husband. Pretty decent guy, well spoken just waiting for an opportunity to get out there like most of us. I’m so rooting for this beautiful young family

Every area of life needs that one skilled person, whether he is a fisherman or a bus conductor…be the best fisherman and the best conductor you can ever be and you will
Be respected.
