This was such a beautiful documentary ..I got so emotional watching it , especially where you mention that Jamaica is where you found your true self and thats how i felt when i visited 2 months ago ..i found peace and tranquility , i was able to be myself and not to mention the food (awesome) ! lol I have to find a way to make Jamaica my home :)
I'm a first generation. My grandparents came over in the 60's and left my mum out there with my great grandmother. My mum came over by herself when she was 11, we watched this together and we both loved it !!!!!
Lovely video lovely young woman 💯 Jamaica is peace the country is the place to be... I cry when I'm on the plane heading back to England... but this is not the full picture of Jamaica many many many many many Jamaicans born and bred cannot pick up a piece of fruit and serve their hunger. It is a beautiful beautiful island like nowhere else in the world. However, there's so much sadness economic struggle and poverty the people of the land should have it all😓but they don't.
I love this video. I'm not Jamaican, but I was adopted by a Jamaican family when I was a baby. My mum lived there until she was 18. I visited the island for the first time last summer and a part of me felt so connected, I felt like I would be at complete peace and feel content living there, but a part of me can't help to feel like I wouldn't be accepted or don't have a right because of my skin colour and because i'm not genetically Jamaican. But because my family is, I do feel a connection with the culture. I know its probably a lot of my own fears and it may not have any truth in reality, who knows, but I can't help feel like that. But anyway, this video was really inspiring, it was really well produced. Sharmadean seems like a really cool girl too.
+Palm93 We're pretty accepting. One of the biggest things is mutual respect here, we're very proud people. Once you come with a love of the culture and the people and a sensitivity to fact that we are a country that perseveres despite appearances, you'll be set :)
Palm93. If you're haunted by fears of not being accepted, you didn't connect, were not at peace and was not contented there. When those feelings REALLY hit you, it's an epiphany which inspires you to do and face anything to have that feeling permanently. It's like addiction. Anyways, don't give up, girl. If you're looking for your forever home, you'll have no doubts or fears when you find it. Keep looking. God go with you.
