There are some awful sides to #BrandJamaica that have marinated so well into our culture that we can’t seem to collectively decide that we need a change of taste.
The response to #Femicide in Jamaica from the institutional to grassroots levels is a glaring one.

#SusanBogle- 44 years old, black, disabled, poor & Woman- murdered in cold blood by @JDFSoldier rummaging her house to pursue criminal. A justice system that doesn’t serve women, but Women are continuously caught in the crosshairs of brutality and violence.

It’s a sad day in Ja
