Hey , Happy Sunday to you and yours again my friend ✨ I'm coming to Reggae,
But I first want to say a HUGE
congrats and thank you to the persons who joined our new and exciting JamHearts Academy since we launched (yes we went live a week ago)🎉
And what made it extra special to me, is that some of these persons, like Erika Mohacsi, Tilarenn Soley, Lloyd Downer
and Beth Kelton have been following my work here for over almost decade!
Its just an amazing feeling that I can now meet, interact and engage with them live!
And the invitation is still open to you 📧, I feel like there's a special place here for you🤗 as we connect and network with other amazing Jamaica-loving folks - from all over the world!
(By the way, did I tell you that in
addition to Jamaica, we have members in USA, UK and Hungary so far?
Oh yeah, we are reaching places my friend.
So if you are on the fence, I'd say come on board now as our special Founder's offer ends in only a few hours (later today)⏰- literally.
And I tell you this , from the bottom of my heart, the family here is absolutely loving the experience so far. Here's what some of our newest members are saying.
And now to the good music💃🎸 So you know we are celebrating Reggae Month as well right?
Oh yeah, this was founded in 2008 to coincide with the birth month of the legendary Bob Marley.
But if I ask you how impactful Reggae was, or is - what would your response be?
Probably never thought about it right? But think about
it.🤔 Well, this is Ven's perspective.
According to her, though its roots are deeply embedded in traditional Jamaican music, reggae's impact stretches far beyond just the music industry, shaping social movements, fashion trends, language, and collective consciousness.
And few of us can dispute that, right?
She has an article on it too and so I'm inviting you to take a quick look at it here (link below) as we celebrate the music and its powerful impact on our social
structure.

And that's our feature article for this week.

And now to this week's...
Here now 👇🏾 below is the very latest video that I posted on my YouTube channel. On Ash Wednesday I visited Hague Agricultural Show, not so much to work, but to let my children have some fun.
But I ran into this
booth, managed by the Jamaica 4H clubs and they had this, the Black Sapote Jam, that caught my attention!
I was recently introduced to the fruit but never heard about the jam! So in this video, I highlight that, but also all the other interesting and creative agriproducts that were made here - from 100% Jamaican fruit and vegetables.🍏 You are in for another treat!
