Are you ready for Mr. Right?
A couple of years ago Ciara 1, 2, stepped out of Future’s ongoing cycle of endless baby mothers and outright toxic behaviour to find herself a seemingly Prince Charming in Russell Wilson. Now Cassie has left her on and off again boyfriend Diddy to land into the arms of model, entrepreneur and trainer Adam Fine. Since then both women have been flourishing, Ciara’s glow is almost ethereal and Cassie literally just got engaged and is preparing to be a first time mother. All in all everything is GOOD over here. What strikes me though is that every time Russell does something nice for Ciara women are always commenting ” tell…

Broadening Access To Healthcare For The Disabled
Universal access to health has been the buzz phrase for a few years now. When we think of this concept, we tend to think mostly of financial access, but it is much more than that. Our system is currently skewed to providing financial access to health, which, in itself, is very important as it can be a great barrier to health-seeking behaviour. We have been tackling the financial barrier with the no-user-fees policy and moved even further along with the recent signing of the consultancy agreement to begin work on the National Health Insurance Plan. This is apt as we celebrate 40 years of the Alma Ata Declaration, made at…

My Raw Food Day Experience
So July 11th is International Raw Food Day. The concept of a raw food diet gave me pause; like how good can food taste if it hasn’t been seasoned and cooked down? I was curious and fully expected to be greeted by a bunch of fancy arrange salads, boy was I surprised. Bena Nakawuki of The Lotus Line organized a raw food potluck where students of her workshops could showcase all that they have learned. I wasn’t ready!!! I had RAW ACKEE which I’ve been taught can poison you so a thug was scared, sea vegetable salad, vegan raw sushi (peep the video below for directions) and my fave Raw…

Dating In Jamaica Is…
I’ve talked about dating in Jamaica many times. I know there might be some similarities with other Caribbean islands but I can only speak from where the majority of my experience comes from and that is Jamaica. So today, as I listen to some Fela Kuti and sip on my Kombucha I write to tell you that dating in Jamaica is … Experiential. What is dating, let’s start there. According to Wikipedia Dating is a stage of romantic relationships in humans whereby two people meet socially with the aim of each assessing the other’s suitability as a prospective partner in an intimate relationship or marriage. It is a form of courtship,…

Walk Good Travel Vlog: Portland, Jamaica
Off the beaten path and away from the all inclusive hotels, Portland Jamaica shines. With beautiful, pristine waters and a small town charm you quickly understand why Old Hollywood stars would prefer to vacation here. With James Bond currently filming here we decided to head down to Portland (I promise I wasn’t stalking Daniel Craig) and stopped at a few places along the way. The beautiful Frenchmen’s Cove and a stop at a fruit stall for some holistic information and a serenade are just a few things that Portland has to offer. We could come back every weekend and find something new, such is the charm of Portland, Jamaica. It’s…
