He turned down Manchester United for love, once reportedly kicked a penalty so hard it burst the net, and became the first Black player to win England’s top-flight football league. 🇯🇲⚽

Long before the Reggae Boyz put Jamaican football on the map, the foundation was being laid by sports icons like Lloyd Lindberg "Lindy" Delapenha. The Kingston-born athlete became the first Jamaican to play professional football in England and helped Portsmouth win back-to-back First Division titles in 1949 and 1950.

After returning home, he continued his contribution to Jamaican sport as sports commentator, later becoming Director of Sports at the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation, helping to shape sports broadcasting for generations.

Check out this awesome video by Ballyard JA looking back at Delapenha’s remarkable life and legacy.

What’s driving the rise in applications for Jamaican citizenship by descent? 🇯🇲

Interest has been steadily growing among Jamaicans overseas. In New York alone, more than 1,322 people were granted Jamaican citizenship by descent last year, and applications continue to increase.

For second-generation Jamaican Ashley Moncrieffe, that growing interest is understandable. Citizenship is about more than getting another passport or having a “Plan B”. It is formal, legal recognition of her Jamaican identity and a tangible connection to the country of her heritage.

After going through the process herself, Ashley began helping other diasporans navigate it through her Jamaican Citizenship by Descent programme and annual grant.

Learn more about citizenship by descent, why more diasporans are claiming it and how Ashley’s grant can help you get started. Read the full story below. 🇯🇲

For Jamaican-born clinical psychologist Dr. Joan Muir, being celebrated in Times Square is about much more than seeing her name and face on a billboard. It represents the thousands of young people and families her work has impacted around the world.

Dr. Muir began her career with a simple goal: to help people through their difficulties. But early on, she realised that research could allow her to make an even greater impact.

“As a therapist and a psychologist, I could see hundreds of people over my lifetime. But if I created an intervention that could go all across the world, as Brief Strategic Family Therapy has, then I could influence thousands of people.”

From a postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University to becoming an assistant professor at the University of Miami, Dr. Muir has dedicated more than three decades to clinical psychology, family therapy and research.

“That’s what this honour means to me. That I have been recognised for my impact on thousands of troubled youths and their families from across the world.”

Watch as Dr. Muir reflects from Times Square on her career, her purpose and what this recognition by Marquis Who’s Who means to her. 🇯🇲👏🏾

Established in 1898, Marquis Who’s Who is an American biographical publisher that profiles prominent leaders and professionals across fields including medicine, education, business, law, science and the arts.
