Been thinking about the influence that Jamaica has had on popular culture around the world and on language and other things. Such a small island with a huge reach 💛💚🖤

Anyway, tell me your favourite things to come out of Jamaica- dancehall songs, dancehall artists, food, words, reggae music, reggae artists etc

Tell me! Happy Sunday.

I love the way patois has majorly influenced language particularly in London. So funny. But same for Arabic in the modern day. Hearing kids saying wallahi makes me smile

Solo travelling for women in general I imagine is very daunting.

I’ve only ever been with family to be fair. And I’m very fortunate in that sense to have family from Jamaica 🥰🥰

I imagine there’s lots about that I don’t get.

I know though in those countries there’s a lot of sex tourism and I imagine there’s a lot of people trying to take advantage of that with people that are actually just there to enjoy a holiday. But it’s great that you’ve not let it stop you.

Unfortunately though, between there and Trinidad, it's probably the worst of the carribean islands and would never advise anyone to go over some of the much nicer ones. I say that with a heavy heart.

Cool Runnings is considered a Christmas film in our house (there’s snow!)

Spice- pretty much any song but So Mi Like It

Charly Black- Gyal You’re a Party Animal

Mr Vegas- Heads High

Beenie Man- pretty much any song but Dude, Who am I, Rum and Red Bull, Girls Dem Sugar are all classics for me.

Damian Marley- pretty much anything

PATTIES- Grandad’s Tastee Patties in Birmingham are insanely good- Beef and cheese please

My favourite thing to cook is brown stew chicken, rice, fried dumplings

Guinness Punch and Sorrel (not exclusively Jamaican but still..) at Christmas
