Today we remember and celebrate the life and legacy of Dr Cynthia Thompson, a true trailblazer and, as many described her, simply “a great person.”

One of the first women to represent Jamaica at the Olympics, she became the first Jamaican, male or female, to contest an Olympic 100m final.

Her excellence continued beyond the track, where she went on to serve generations of Jamaican children as a respected and compassionate paediatrician.

Today, we pause to honour the extraordinary legacy of Jimmy Cliff — a true pioneer of reggae and one of the most influential voices in Jamaican music history.

His songs were messages of justice, freedom, empowerment, love and friendship. Through his music, he encouraged us to overcome our struggles, hold on to hope and believe in the greatness within ourselves.

We’ve put together a special video featuring clips from five of our top ten Jimmy Cliff songs with the strongest and most uplifting messages. These are the tracks that moved generations, carried our stories to the world and reminded us of who we are as a people.

Visit our website to see the full top 10 list as we continue to celebrate the life and impact of this remarkable Jamaican icon. 🇯🇲💛

A humanitarian crisis looms in Westmoreland, one of the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Melissa. According to the Member of Parliament for Eastern Westmoreland, Dr. Dayton Campbell, not a single community was spared, with homes flattened and thousands left displaced and struggling to recover.

In response, he has launched the Adopt-a-Family initiative — a targeted relief effort that connects verified families who lost everything with donors willing to help them rebuild their lives.

The goal is to support 1,500 displaced families with shelter, food, essential supplies, and, where needed, durable container homes. You can adopt a family, contribute to pooled sponsorships, donate supplies, or volunteer on the ground.

No amount is too small — every act of generosity helps restore dignity and stability.

👉 Visit the link below for details on how to donate, volunteer, or view the full list of families and communities in need.
