For girls who play, they should have the chance to earn as women. Tune in. There's a women's world cup finals taking place right now. It's about opportunity. It's about skill. It's about support. #kick #score #fifa19 #womensworldcup

Here is a little red / white / blue coming to you from a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Family first, second, and third. Work hard. Play hard. Rest well. Swim much. Independence Day means freedom from Wi-Fi. ✌

For five days my home smelled like the Taino ancestors were having a feast. The wildfires caused by this extremely dry time left a nostalgic scent of history tinged with the stink of what will come to the warmer latitudes that are poised to become even hotter with climate change. This afternoon I give thanks for the rains that finally fell after record-breaking days of heat in Kingston. While the reservoirs are still well-below capacity and the water restrictions are still in place, I take today's rains as proof of the covenant. Rainbows aside, though, I know it is to be the fire next time. So draw a bucket, people. Draw a bucket. Barbacoa / barbeque / woodgrilled food is a great Taino legacy in Jamaica. But barbequed forests and ash being carried on the wind is a dangerous warning. #jamaica #Kingston #wildfires #drought #climatechange #temperature #jamesbaldwin

😮 Kids' night classes! This is from today's @jamaicaobserver . Do read the new blog post. . When I say lawnmowers, I'm not talking about grass cutting machines. 🌿 It's a metaphor, my good people. ☺ Lawnmowers are parents. "Where as the snowplow moms and dads of the US work tirelessly to clear any obstacles and educational challenges from the paths of their student-children, in the Jamaican context, lawnmower parents cut back the prickly vines of school-related challenges, be they PEP-related or otherwise frustrating." . 💥 Read more. .
