Happy Mother’s Day, Rev. Bernella Mckenzie and all mothers who believe in their children and invest spent the time to invest in their future.
As we get set to celebrate mothers on mother’s, day I have to say thank you to my mommy for seeing the potential in me and investing in my education & literacy. When I was younger, I could not read, write or spell at age level. I remember my mom praying “God what kind of children you give me.”
But my mother took me to Jamaica Library Service in Spanish town. Saint Catherine Jamaica from the age of 6 almost every day (and every summer), where she worked, and signed us up, my twin brother RICARDO and I, for every program and invested in our #education during the struggling years of having to raise 6 children in a fledging Jamaican economy. It all began when my mother asked me to write a letter to the gleaner and when my former professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary David Pearson asked us, his Ethics students to write a letter to the Jamaica Gleaner in 2001. He said if it’s published, we’ll get extra credit. I was the only student to do it and I the Gleaner made my Letter of the day! I did and since then I have been blogging, writing and submitting letters to the Gleaner and they have published several.
Here I am today, (after completing high school education at Bridgeport Comprehensive High School (the first to attend the school when it transitioned from Secondary to Comprehensive High), graduated with two masters from an Ivy League College in the US, University of Pennsylvania, and now doing a Doctorate at the prestigious Georgetown University in Washington D.C. and am a published author having written the book Neoliberalism, globalization, income inequality, poverty and resistance.

The E-Book will be out on my mother’s birthday May 15th.
Happy Mother’s Day Mother and to all Jamaican Moms who sacrificed and put the work in to rear their children so that they can realize success not just for ourselves but Jamaica and the world.
