The nearly 50-year-old concept of ‘eat what you grow and grow what you eat” is not a comprehensive plan in today’s globalised world; it’s a slogan that promotes the view that the agriculture business must be focused inwards and not outwards’ jamaica-gleaner.com/article/commen…
Style a style, and style cyaa spoil... Jamaicans have always turned heads with how we dress - bold, original, custom. One-of-one. But fast fashion’s convenience has us trading individuality for imitation. Worse yet, we’re fueling one of the most profitable, and most destructive…
Through my own experiences, there’re a few things I’m sure I’ve said to my daughter…..if I had one. But truthfully, these aren’t just lessons for a daughter. They’re reminders for anyone navigating life. Just sharing my two cents, Have a great Monday!
What’s the real cost of you $20 outfit? France has drawn a line in the sand, taxing ultra-fast fashion, banning influencer endorsements, and redirecting revenue toward sustainability. It’s a radical shift in values, and a powerful statement: fashion must no longer come at the…

Artificial Intelligence is not just a tool for progress. It is quickly becoming one of the most extractive technologies of our time. It consumes more energy than entire nations, drains clean water by the billions of gallons, and creates waste we are not equipped to manage. For us…
Self-defense is not just about physical protection, it’s about sharpening instinct, building awareness, and having the courage to act when it matters most. Every girl deserves the tools to give herself a fighting chance
Artificial intelligence is being hailed as humanity’s greatest leap forward, but what if it’s also one of its most destructive? Beneath the sleek code and algorithmic brilliance lies a darker, dirtier reality: AI is not powered by magic, but by coal, water, and waste. As data…
Too many of our children who learn differently face unfair labels like dunce, disruptive, or badly behaved, not due to a lack of intelligence, but because they’ve never received the proper diagnosis or support. These children are bright, creative, and bursting with potential.…
I picked up my first weight at 17. Over thirty years later, I’m still at it. To every woman: start now. Not for aesthetics, but for longevity, strength, and peace of mind. You don’t need perfect gear or a flawless routine, just begin.
