Jamaican junior 400m standout Jasauna Dennis is building an impressive track profile — and getting paid.

In 2024, he claimed Pan American Games 400m gold and a meet record, earned a World Indoor Championships silver as part of Jamaica’s 4x400m relay team, and recorded the fourth-fastest 400m time in University of South Carolina history.

NIL deals allow junior athletes like Dennis to earn from their name, image and likeness while maintaining NCAA eligibility.

The pain of grief can sometimes sharpen focus, turning loss into purpose. That was the case when the man who raised Sekou McDonald died.

What followed was a search for meaning that pulled him out of his comfort zone and into an unfamiliar world.

It is there that he found direction, and where he now thrives as the founder of 876 Polo, the UK’s first Jamaican polo team.

Before Jonkonnu became performance art or a festival feature, it was a living Christmas tradition rooted in ritual, ancestral memory, resistance and community.

These traditions do not survive by accident. When meaning fades and practice stops, culture quietly erodes. Preservation begins with knowledge, intention and active community participation, not nostalgia alone.

As conversations about reviving Jonkonnu continue, the real question is not visibility, but continuity.

Long live Jonkonnu.

Today, we pause our celebrations to remember the over 60,000 enslaved Jamaicans who, on this day in 1831, carried out one of the most significant acts of resistance in Caribbean history.

The Christmas Rebellion, led by Sam Sharpe, was a heroic act that exposed, shocked and eventually destabilized the inhumane system of slavery.

What’s it like being a Jamaican doing business in Colombia? 🇯🇲🇨🇴

Meet Anasia Reid, the British-Jamaican engineer turned entrepreneur behind Jamaiquita, Medellín’s only Jamaican restaurant.

An avid traveller, Anasia arrived in Colombia seven years ago and never left. Missing real Jamaican home-cooked food and spotting a gap in the market, she launched Jamaiquita to serve jerk, oxtail, and a true taste of home in the heart of Medellín.

Today, she is building community and sharing Jamaican culture through food.

It has been a challenging quarter for small businesses back home. Hurricane Melissa has dampened what is usually the most important time of year for sales, particularly for those in the creative industries.

Many businesses have been affected indirectly, as the wider economic impact slowed Christmas spending, while others experienced direct losses through flooding, damaged stock or personal hardship that disrupted their ability to operate.

That is why supporting local industry matters now more than ever. Buying Jamaican this Christmas is a practical way to help small businesses recover and stay afloat.

Our gift guide highlights a selection of Jamaican-made, high-quality gift ideas for all tastes and interests, making it easier to support local while giving thoughtfully.
