JA is so used to Jamaicans being extraordinary that we often forget that our achievements are worthy of being celebrated
That said, we need to make a grand gesture when Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce returns home from her final olympics
Shanieka Ricketts has been chosen to proudly carry the Jamaican flag during the highly anticipated opening ceremony of the upcoming Paris Olympics. This prestigious honor recognizes her remarkable athletic achievements and her role as a representative of Jamaica on the global stage.
