Creating opportunities to expose leaders to best practices in creative & cultural innovation in the world has always been central to our mission.

Having educator, & poet, Rica represent #ManifestoJA at the last meeting of the CREAC Consortium in Cuba was a milestone moment.

They can (will?) never tell me exactly why though 😂

“We consider ourselves a cultural, creative and track and field superpower, but we are not funding the conditions that produce it.”

For over 60 years, the Jamaica Musical Theatre Company (JMTC) has been shaping lives through the power of performance. 🎭

That’s why we’ve highlighted them as one of the case studies in the Caribbean Practices in Cultural Entrepreneurship guidebook.

I've been in operations management long enough to KNOW that when you see an inefficient process persisting, someone is benefiting from the murkiness & chaos.

And the words “fuck” “pussy” & “suck mi cocky” existed then but never gratuitously used in verses or choruses 🤷🏽‍♂️ No one is denying the existence of risqué music fam but we both know vulgarity has taken a nose dive into the deepest part of the pit latrine

If you’d told me 20 years ago that Kartel would today be on social media wining in his brief I’d have called you a liar.

There is a lot to be said about a country that will watch their people suffer, while the pantry is full.

[Manifesto Jamaica @ManifestoJA]

In 2024, 3 members of team #ManifestoJamaica attended the 1st transnational meeting of the CREAC consoritum held in Holguín, Cuba.

We participated in the Romerías de Mayo Festival and what a joy it was to see so much young, promising talent on display!

Co-sign wha Aunty @FaeEllington say ‘bout di #HillandGully reboot.

@DiGenius1 is brilliant. Rate him as a human, as much as a musician.

So, I wonder wha di jugglin woulda sound like if him did raise the bar and seh, “dat hype, but it’s been said…mek wi come wid sumn fresh.”
