🇯🇲 NEW VIDEO DROPPING SOON 🇯🇲
Why are thousands of Jamaicans leaving America, Canada & England to move back home? Is it failure... or the smartest move they could make?"
I'm breaking down the REAL talk on migration, mental health, money, and opportunities waiting back on the island. This one's personal, practical, and powerful.
QUESTION FOR THE COMMUNITY:
👉 Are you currently living abroad thinking about returning home?
👉 Have you already made the move back to Jamaica?
👉 What's holding you back... or what made you take the leap?
Drop your thoughts below. Your story might be featured in the video. Let's normalize this conversation. 💚💛🖤

COMING UP NEXT... The man they tried to erase 👑
Marcus Garvey died broke in London.
Jamaica brought him back and put him on their money.
This Thursday, we're dropping a 15-minute documentary on why Jamaicans love Marcus Garvey—and why his vision STILL shakes the system.
From the UNIA to Rastafari.
From the Black Star Line to Bob Marley.
From "Back to Africa" to the $50 bill.
This is the story they don't teach. But we will.
