Homegrown With G Cole: New Tunes, New Vibes, Brand New G Cole

Kereen Britton-Alexander came to the U.S. in her twenties as an undocumented single mother. With only a Jamaican high school diploma that wasn’t recognised, she was forced to start over.

But, she never gave up.

Even though what followed was periods of homelessness, working seven days a week to survive, and the heavy responsibilities of single motherhood—which ultimately led to her dropping out of college.

Kereen still didn't give up.

Her hard work and sacrifice paid off in 2025, ten years after putting her education on hold, Kereen graduated as Valedictorian of Medgar Evers College with a 3.8 GPA and a degree in Business Administration and Management.

In her powerful and heartfelt valedictorian speech, she reflected:

“I stand before you not only as the Valedictorian for the Class of 2025, but as a woman who once walked barefoot on the red dirt roads of Jamaica, carrying dreams too big for my village to contain. I didn’t always have resources, but I always had resilience. I didn’t always have shoes, but I had purpose—and every step I took on those rocky roads led me here, to this stage.”

Join us in congratulating this phenomenal Jamaican woman. Bless her up in the comments as we wish for her continuous abundance.

Hands up if you've ever heard of Joel Augustus Rogers 👋🏾

Born in Negril, Jamaica, Rogers is celebrated as one of the most important Black historians of the 20th century.

A self-taught journalist and researcher, Rogers dedicated his life to unearthing the overlooked achievements of Africans and people of African descent.

His groundbreaking — and often provocative — works, including 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro and World’s Great Men of Color, directly challenged racism and the false myths that upheld Black oppression.

For generations living under segregation, Rogers’s writings became a source of dignity, pride, and identity.

🇯🇲🏓 Could pickleball be Jamaica’s next big sporting success story? 👀💬

Blake Shoucair (men’s singles – 4.0 division) and Alicia Pairman (women’s singles – 3.5 division) both struck gold at the Paddle Tap Tournament in Florida — then teamed up to take the mixed doubles crown for a clean sweep 🔥👏.

With clubs like Pickle & Chill Jamaica helping to grow the game locally — and even launching a search for women 50+ to represent Jamaica at the Pickleball World Cup — the sport is quickly gaining ground across the island and diaspora.

Congratulations to our Founder, Xavier Murphy , who has been honoured with the Jamaican Milestone Award for Media by the Jamaica USA Chamber of Commerce (JAUSACC).

This well-deserved recognition celebrates nearly 30 years of championing Jamaican culture, supporting diaspora entrepreneurship, and telling our stories through the Jamaicans.com platform.

When Xavier Murphy launched this platform in 1995, his vision was to create a digital space where Jamaicans could tell our own stories, uplift our people, and speak for ourselves—on our terms and in our own voice.

Nearly 30 years later, that vision has come to life. Jamaicans.com is now a powerful connection point for Jamaicans at home and across the diaspora, helping to shape not only how we see ourselves, but how the world sees us.

Today we pause to celebrate the life and legacy of Jamaican Olympian Michael ‘Mike’ Fray 🇯🇲✨

Born in Kingston on September 3rd 1947, Fray rose from his schoolboy days at STATHS to two Olympic Games, reaching finals in both the 100m and 200m and helping Jamaica set a world record in the 4×100m relay at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.

Though he competed in an era without the professional opportunities sprinters enjoy today, his brilliance, determination and record-breaking performances paved the way for Jamaica’s sprinting dominance, securing his place as a true pioneer of the sport. 💛💚🖤
