Jamaica’s Ambassador to the US, Audrey Marks, has initiated a monthly ‘Jamaica Connect’ conversation with members of the Jamaican Diaspora and the response was so great that some visitors on Zoom had to be redirected to the Facebook Live link. Ambassador Marks briefed attendees on the new protocols for those planning to visit Jamaica, and fielded questions.
Participants wanted to see more education in Jamaican heritage, were concerned about the well-being of our children here and expressed their willingness to contribute to their education. We felt their deep love for their homeland; there are still untapped opportunities which we need to further explore. Ambassador Marks, herself a successful entrepreneur, will no doubt be promoting this – there is strength in numbers.
