Early afternoon on December 29, 2011 Grandpa was ready to go and vote.  He’s voted in every election for which he’s been available and eligible so Jamaica’s 16th general election was no different.  As we prepared to take him – me, younger sister, mother – he said the above: A vote is a very important thing.  Then I hadn ...

Dec 19 Where Are the Songs About Tivoli?

Last week on my way home I was listening to U2′s “Under A Blood Red Sky.”  When “Sunday Bloody Sunday” came on I put it on repeat and let my mind wander.  It’s not the first time that “Sunday Bloody Sunday” has gripped me in this way…something about this song gives me chills, from the words to ...

Oct 20 Guest Post | My Mother’s Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Last year when Mikaelia told me that her mother, Angella, had been diagnosed with breast cancer my heart dropped. Someone else? Again? When will the awful disease cease to inflict injury and pain upon people?  Rant, rant, rant!
