I love a man who dates me after he already got me.
I love being asked out. I love dressing up. I love the flowers. I love taking pics of my food. I love being driven although I own my own car. I love the surprise gifts for no reason. I love it all
(Not to me)MY FATHER told his girlfriend of 10yrs (my step-mom) who he was living with, to dress up my little bro in formal attire because they’re attending his ‘best friend’s wedding’. Turned out it was my father’s WEDDING. My bro was actually his ring bearer that same day.
Insecure men should NOT date ambitious & attractive women
All they’ll do is try to break your spirit, abuse you emotionally, physically, down play your achievements and try to take credit for your success
My father married his other woman that same day and called my step mom after the ceremony to tell her. Then dropped off my little bro at the house. That’s where my trust issues started. Some men are wicked.
Classism is rife in Jamaica. The other day I had a client interested in an expensive listing
When I spoke to the listing agent, she asked me which school my client’s children attended.
The SCHOOL people.
She specifically asked me if it’s AISK or Hillel
I kid you not.
Whoever said silence is always best, lied. Sometimes a response is needed to set the record straight, with receipts too!(Esp when it comes to your reputation)👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I always find it funny how much we criticize our bodies as women yet men comfortably walk around shaped like a capital P lol
We need to love ourselves more
I don’t know why people are so reluctant to share salaries. It helps those coming into the field to negotiate better. Called to the Bar 2019. Net:
2019-2020- $165,000
2020-2021- $180,000
2021-2022- $215,000
A taxi driver avoided a speeding ticket because he told the police that the pregnant lady in the front seat is wife and she’s in labour!
The passengers had to learn each other’s names because suddenly they’re all related and accompanying them to the hospital

My generation is prioritizing their mental health, regardless of what it looks like to others and I love this for us
We’re not romanticizing the struggle. We acknowledge, heal and keep it moving
Dear loyal supporters,
After 3 consecutive years of providing my makeup services to the UWI at their graduation centre, I have decided not to renew my contract
That job is one of the reasons I graduated UWI debt-free. I hope another student can take that opportunity
Thank u!
Women in corporate will take one look at you and decide they don’t like you. Especially when you look really good in some affordable clothes, while their outfit can pay your rent and they still don’t look good
A friend of mine bought a certain vehicle and parked in another parking lot and walked about 2 blocks to work. All bc his boss drove a less expensive vehicle at the time
It all makes sense now
These wealthy families we see today had one person who made a decision years ago to create generational wealth
Don’t hate on them. Instead focus on how a wealthy family can come from you, if you weren’t born into one
It all starts with one risk-taker
Don’t be fooled, Jamaica is a badmind, hold dung country. Not many will be happy for you
Even those who knew you when you had nothing will turn their backs on you when you start doing better than them. Trust no one
Wish every child could get the opportunity to travel bc it will make them realise at an early age that JA is so small
It will also help them to see that the elitists are nobody outside of JA and most of the whites/lightskins here who act better than them would be lost on 5th Ave
Deciding to move in together is such a big step for us and it makes sense since we’re dating to marry. Bae asked over dinner and I agreed
Excited tbh ❤️
Don’t be naive. People in much better positions than you, with way more money than you, etc can still badmind you
It doesn’t matter if you’re younger than them or you’re just starting out- they will still feel threatened by you somehow
JMMB always makes me feel like their

customer. The entire staff has mastered the art of customer service. This is how customers must feel
They just get it
@motivateyouths
(Not me but) My father told my step mom to dress me up and comb my hair because we’re going for ice cream. He drove me straight to his next woman’s house for dinner and introduced her to me as my new step mom. I learned not to trust men so easily, since age 5.
Jamaicans are hilarious! I dialed a wrong number and hung up. Tell me why this person sent me a WhatsApp msg to call back. I replied, “Sorry, I dialed the wrong number”.
Apparently it was, “Not a mistake. It was destiny. I love you” What?? No Sir! Blocked
Looking on my posts and remembering when I wasn’t allowed to post any photos of myself in shorts nor any work-out videos. Narcissistic control is real
Choose partners who are secure in themselves
Now I post whatever makes me happy
My Mother has been a Teacher for over 30yrs (now Principal) and one of the MAJOR issues she’s had is that parents leave their child’s education SOLELY to teachers
Education starts at HOME
Read to your children. Be their first teacher. Buy them books and start reading with them
Me: *Divorce Consultation* Is there any chance that you will reconcile with your spouse?
Client: Not even if Jesus come off a the cross and box me wid him slippers, me not going back
Me: Ok, I’ll take that as a “no” 😂😂
Please stop victim-blaming

Narcissists can go from 0-100 real quick. Sweet one minute then strangling you in the next. Gaslighting you when you accuse them,then begging for forgiveness, while having you look stupid out here.
It’s not as easy as you think to leave
I’ve had friends who’ve known me for years and still betrayed me
I also have friends who I’ve known for less than a year who’ve proven to be genuine
Don’t watch the years...pay attention to the energy
Slickianna was the epitome of hot. Some, like myself are only hot selectively but she was hot literally single everyday
She was always positive-whether we ran into each other at the hair salon or exchanged positive comments on our IG posts & stories. Rip to a real hot girl 🙏🏼💔
One day I’ll share details about how I went from facing de-registration at the UWI to earning over JMD $1M from UWI, while still a student, via my makeup artistry business and graduating debt free
My only regret in life is that I didn’t start investing sooner
Ignore the noise
Being with a man who loves to cook is everything. Let me pass the spatula for you baby. You want me to take the meat out for you? What are we eating today? 😂
Since high school I’ve been correcting people who assume I’m from “uptown”. No, Sweetie- I’m a proud country girl. I was born at Princess Margaret Hospital and raised in St Thomas
I was at the bus stop by 5:30am every morning to catch the bus to go to my “Town School”, for 7 yrs
Remember not to compare yourself to anyone on social media. People are posting like they’re wealthy while in serious debt. Everybody rich lol.
Take your baby steps and use your talents for extra income
Millennials, if u leave work before night,it simply means you’re not interested in your job
It can’t be that you’ve come in early & managed your time well
Do work at home? No, the only place you can do work is at work. What is mental health? Back in our day we never had that!
Someone told me that people will have a perception of you and wait for you to do something that confirms what they’ve made up in their mind, instead of getting to know you
Imagine if Jamaica had Dr Nigel Clarke in the 70’s-80’s as our Finance Minister. What a different country this would be. Hands down the best Minister ever
If he is sick, I am his nurse. If he wants to vent, I am a listening ear. If he is hungry, I am his cook. If he is in need, I provide. If he wants advice, I am his counsel, and if he has a lot on his mind, I suggest solutions ❤️
We’re grown- there’s nothing wrong with making new friends. Some “friends” you’re holding on to because of history, are low key haters. You can find ppl with genuine intentions
People are like, well the Queen was born into it. Yes but she had 70 years to make a difference or even offer an apology. She never did anything to make amends. She chose not to. She didn’t care
End of rant.
Instead of laughing and bashing the lady who was scammed into purchasing property for J $800k from someone who was not the legal owner, let’s educate so it doesn’t happen again or to anyone else
One sad thing about living alone is that no one is there to turn off the lights when you fall asleep while reading
Just JPS smiling at you until morning 😂
More men would kill their wives if they thought they could get away with it too
The only reason some are still married is that they don’t want to split their assets.
It might sound silly but I believe there’s still time for something amazing to happen, before the end of the year
The year isn’t done yet. There’s still time
Don’t be fooled. The women who are the strongest in public are some of the softest, sweetest, gentlest women in private who willingly to submit to a man who deserves it
Not just any and any man tho sweetie
Nigel Clarke is the best thing to happen to green house. I don’t know how they convinced him to return to Jamaica and leave his prominent job overseas…but it was well worth it
He is the best finance minister we’ve ever had
Their children don’t attend our universities. Their children aren’t treated at our clinics. Their children aren’t admitted to our hospitals
Make of that what you will.
End of my political discourse for today. Let me go enjoy my Sunday,drink some tea & prep for Court next week
Mekelia Green, Attorney-at-Law
Success comes when you decide to keep pushing,despite the failures & obstacles! I am happy to have been called to Bar by
@BertSamuels
,my former boss at Knight Junor&Samuels and mentor for over 6yrs. It was rough but I did it!
Never give up!
Somewhere in Jamaica there’s an employer measuring an employee’s dedication to their job by their willingness to physically be at work instead of working from home,during a PANDEMIC
