Wishing a very happy 64th Independence Day to our beloved friends and family in Jamaica and across the diaspora!
As the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, I have always known the beautiful culture and inspiring strength of Jamaica well โ and that is why I will always cherish this special opportunity to celebrate a nation and people unlike any others.
Happy Independence Day, and One Love, everyone!
