Mind you, Nicholas Nuvan is a non black creator who comes to different islands and actually respects the culture of the countries he’s in. Please miss me with that snow louse. Kmt.

[Chezlie🇯🇲 @Chezlie_s]

We can’t keep asking the world to respect Jamaican culture while we reduce it to dancehall and sports. Our culture is d spirituality of Kumina & Rastafarianism, Maroon traditions, folklore, Revival, Jonkonnu, Nine Night, Accompong Festivals, Nyabinghi gatherings, grand market nights.. JCDC FESTIVAL 😂… stop letting people reduce our culture, dem nuh know we like dat.

Part 1/

The idea of Carnival in Jamaica was birthed at UWI Mona in the 50s, where a blend of islanders being homesick wanted to replicate the carnival celebrations of back home, which eventually evolved into ‘RING ROAD’. I remember attending UWI Ring Road as a very young child with my Mother in the late 80s - there were hundreds upon hundreds of revelers feting to FAB 5 (a Jamaican Band) playing music on a truck while it maneuvered around ring road.

Fab 5 was a Jamaican band that created some amazing hits in 80s & early 90s, with perhaps their biggest hit ‘all night party’ & ‘Ring Road Jam’. This music was completely Jamaican and appreciated as our carnival sound at that season/time. Simultaneously, during this era, Jamaican Icon, Byron Lee was dominating the airwaves with his band Byron Lee & the Dragonaires with hits such as Tiny Winey, Nani Wine, etc etc.

During the late 80s into early 90s there were also other niche groups providing soca experiences in Jamaica. Some of these groups visited Trinidad carnival annually and brought back their experience and packaged an exclusive Carnival Experience to their network of friends - eg. orange carnival Frenchmen etc.

The strap was a key element.

That thing was a purse, a cross shoulder, a lanyard. 😂😂 And it never fell.

What was good for me is that when I gave the cup to someone at the bar truck. I held on to the strap so it wouldn’t get mix up in the fuss.

Very practical

The Yardmas Cup was gorge but for the girlies was it comfy etc considering it didn’t have a handle

I get what you’re saying but they serve different purposes in this instance

[jhev @Jhevvvv]

I see all the tweets and memes but I really do hope you guys have the capacity to understand how these issues affect the actual event planners because of carelessness

Millions of dollars spent and lost on planning, execution, marketing, creativity, sponsorship.. patrons …

[Omolora @Onlyomolora]

[Gordon Swaby @Gordonswaby]

There’s a place in HWT called homestyle that serves Jamaican food 24/7

[Omolora @Onlyomolora]

@xodee876 I know they’re getting the right hand drive coming in soon so I guess they’re getting rid of the LHDs.

[The Chancellor || Itz Madam to YOU @itzme_d_toxic1]

Always some nasty predatory old man doing it to little girls. Disgusting!!!!!!!!

[Omolora @Onlyomolora]

Perks of marketing.

A lot of businesses are walking on the back of the marketing industry.

[Thoughts & Brayers @BrayForJade]

I’m surprised Church’s is receiving such a reception considering it was open for decades in Sovereign and other places in Kingston and was always empty.

One would think we never had one before. Didn’t we also have a Chester’s chicken? Or am I making that up?

[Pedrito. @iRealPedro]

Way too much people with platform making this a St Elizabeth vs Westmoreland vs Trelawny vs St James thing, I’ve also noticed the political slyness.

NOT. THE. TIME. PEOPLE.
