Why I Wrote This Book

Jamaica is such a fascinating place! It’s much more than a land of lush greenery,

majestic mountains, beautiful white-sand beaches, and clear blue Caribbean Sea waters.

Former Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller said it best: “it's a place of pride for the people.” These are the incredible people who have created one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Brand Jamaica, with its enormous impact, boasts a popularity that even countries much larger in size, population and resources fail to achieve.

Throughout history, humans have progressed in life by building on the achievements and sacrifices of those before them. National hero Marcus Garvey said that: “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” Jamaica is no different. My goal is to share with you some of the history, culture and achievements that have built this incredible brand.

My intention is to give thanks to the many persons who have contributed to making little Jamaica, one of the biggest places in the world. I want to ensure that all Jamaicans now, and in the future, become aware of these awesome and incredible brand builders. I am also hoping that some Jamaican youngster can see the names of, and learn about the people who created their past, so that they can believe in their future.

Not many countries can boast about similar achievements by its people, as outlined under the “Facts about Jamaica and Jamaicans” section. These achievements required courage, determination, strength, character, confidence, and a powerful belief system, which is embedded in our DNA. Jamaicans are filled with these qualities, which have allowed us to thrive and do things that created the paths to success, rather than following in the footsteps of others.

These are the heavily imbedded DNA molecules that gave us independence, as the first English-speaking West Indians to do so. We were the first Caribbean team to qualify for the football world cup (male and female) as well as the Rugby League world cup. Without a drop of ice to be found on our highest peak, we became the first tropical country to enter the winter Olympics. So unbelievable was the feat, that they even made a movie about it. Jamaica’s superpower status in athletics is well documented and followed worldwide. Names such as Herb McKenley, Usain Bolt, Merlene Ottey, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Asafa Powell, and Elaine Thompson, are only some of those that provided the world with thrills and excitement on the athletic track.

The first non-American to win the Scripps spelling Bee, singing competitions; The Voice and The Xfactor are Jamaicans. The first black woman to win a world swimming title and first black person to fly solo around the world are Jamaicans. Jamaicans became the first black female professor of neurosurgery at Stanford University, and first black female Brigadier General of the United States’ Marine Corps. Dr. Henry Lowe created Alpha Prostate Formula 1, a product which can reduce and eliminate prostate cancer, the No. 1 cause of cancer deaths among males. Dr. Cicely Williams discovered the child malnutrition syndrome, kwashiorkor, and when the cows we got was not good enough for our climate and conditions, Dr. Thomas Lecky made our own and named them Jamaica Black, Jamaica Red and Jamaica Hope. The impact of our brand worldwide has been so profound, that the word “Jaminate” has been created to identify our presence.

While I recognize that there must be names missing, I tried to include as many as our research provided. Ideally, all Jamaicans should be included, but space would not allow that to happen. The names you are about to see, are those who through their achievements, work and community involvement, provided motivation, inspiration, and in some way or another, influenced the Jamaica you know today. I am aware that this project is a work in progress, and it will be updated periodically.

As you go through the book and the many persons identified, I encourage you to support them in any way you can. The least you can do is say thank you. Go on the internet, type their name and “Jamaica” to see their contributions to building Brand Jamaica. Share with your children and friends, and continue to bask in the joy of being a Jamaican.

Like everywhere else, Jamaica has its challenges, but there is nothing that is wrong with Jamaica, that cannot be fixed by the good in Jamaica, and by Jamaicans. As a Jamaican, you therefore have a molecular right to be proud, and the responsibility to continue building on this success!

Thank you for being a part of this Jamaican journey.

Popular Jamaican Nicknames

If you have ever been to school in Jamaica, there is a 99% chance that you got a nickname. They usually start in primary school but if you missed it there, then a fair selection awaits you in high school. People are known to even get nicknames in university. When you become an adult, it is not uncommon also for your job function to become your nickname. For reason unknown, it would seem as more nicknames are given to males.

Your nicknames are usually given based on how you look, what you do, your reaction to an event, or a combination of these factors. Some names are funny, some are ridiculous, and most make you want to stay away from people. Nicknames can make you laugh and they can make you cry. The more you show disgust for your name however, the more popular it gets, and the more it sticks.

How many of the names on the next few pages are you familiar with, and can find?
