As a nation, we cannot allow educators & school boards with prejudices steeped in a history of colonial hate & anti-blackness to make rules that single out, embarrass, discriminate, or are otherwise oppressive against our children who wear locs. [SEP 30, 2019] -change will come🇯🇲
THANK YOU - To my East Central family and all our supporters, thanks for everything! We will continue to do BIG things in East Central and across Jamaica. One love 🇯🇲🔔✌💪🏾

Finished law school with top grades. Represented both law school and Jamaica at international law school competitions. Asked to cut my hair to get jobs across the Caribbean and in Jamaica. I did not. For a year I was without a job. Relentless. Standing in my own truth. 🇯🇲
Nov 23. Celebrating another year as an Attorney-at-Law. As a likkle yute in the inner city of Grants Pen I always dreamt of becoming a lawyer. God bless Miss Winsome for all her hard work. Who says who cant sell at the market to make ur children's dreams a reality. Love u mummy!
I love that suddenly 80% of Jamaicans are "My Body - My Choice." It is a good look for our democracy. We can now move to Legalise

Telling black girls they can't wear Chiney Bumps/Bantu Knots is discriminatory and reeks of racial prejudices steeped in self hate! Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. Our girls must be taught to embrace all their kinks and curls! Mannings High this is not it!

When they can't use the colour of our skin they resort to our hair in their vile attempt to humiliate & treat us as subhuman. But we remain kings and queens in the face of their racism. We remain strong and powerful. For we are also warriors. They must never break our spirit.

Black hair is more than "just hair". It is a symbol of our identity, our heritage, our greatness. They will NEVER force us to cover up or be ashamed of our hair again.
#blackhairmatters
#lockedwonders
The Tignon laws of the 18th century were laws that banned black women from exposing their natural hair in public.
Their hairdos was obscuring the status of the white women and this threatened the social stability. The law would control colored women “who dressed too elegantly..”
Proud to welcome home our sprint sensation

My team and I have been working with stakeholders, including the Min of Education, and have now finalised a National Grooming and Dress Code Policy to be submitted to Cabinet for approval. We must an end to hair and other discriminatory practices in Jamaica.
#Jamaica
It took me 1 year before I got a job when I left law school ...because i refused to cut my hair ..those days of discrimination MUST be behind us ..people must be able to express themselves for religious or other personal reasons within ambit of law without fear of discrimination
Greater understanding needed of

depression & other psychosis affecting women after giving birth. The symptoms of depression can be mild or so severe that it affects a women's ability to care for or bond with her baby. Our women need medical help. Not condemnation.
Sunday tip - buy Jamaican🇯🇲! For everything else get yourselves an overseas shipping address and shop online! There is no need for some businesses to sell goods for 25K that u can buy online for 15US! And no reason to sell an item for 50K that u buy online for 40US!
Brilliant performances from Elaine Thompson Hera, our new Double Double Commonwealth 100m and 200m Champion, setting a new games record in the 200m as well. Good catching up with you at the athletes' village. You have done yourself and nation proud. One love 💯🔥🇯🇲

Mental health issues are real. More than 30 percent of Jamaicans experience some form of mental health issues. Depression, nervous breakdown, unsound reasoning due to desperation. We must get them the psychiatric help they deserve. One love 🇯🇲
Hire me because I am competent & can get the job done. I refused to cut my hair because of myopic neo-colonialistic views of the "inappropriateness" of black hair/ black hairstyles. I was prepared to fight the system. The anti-personal indoctrination against ourselves must end 🇯🇲

We cannot speak of gender equality and sustainable development when the rights of women remain shackled to archaic notions of bodily autonomy. In a democracy, all views must contend. It does not mean, however, that one view is superior to another. No one must be left behind.

My team and I have seen a tweet which mentions that a candidate has been threatened. While the tweet does not mention the source of the threat or what action has been taken besides resignation, we denounce all forms of political violence. This has no place in our modern democracy
True gender equality cannot be achieved unless and until we relinquish our pervasive desire to control and police the body and dignity of women. A woman MUST have the very basic human right to make autonomous decisions concerning her body.

Some things must never be politicised. Majority of Ukranians and persons studying there never believed war would happen. Fear of being expelled, losing scholarships etc also very real. By politicising their fears and lived experiences we diminish their lives to political fodder
Our children have a right to an education in a SAFE environment. Persons who work with children who refuse to get vaccinated as a "personal right" must then do a covid test twice each week at their expense also as a "personal right"...
