Last update: 12 hours ago

US-Jamaica Diplomacy: President Trump has nominated anti-immigration hardliner Kari Lake as U.S. ambassador to Jamaica, sending the pick to the Senate for confirmation—another high-profile diaspora signal as Nick Perry’s term ends. Culture & Music: Fae Ellington is calling out “vulgar” rewrites of the classic Hill & Gully Rider on the revived Hill & Gully riddim, arguing artists are trading heritage for cheap attention. Education & Youth: St Ann’s STETHS has reopened in-person classes after fights led to a two-day suspension, with mentorship and specialist support on the table. Health & Dignity: The NSSC says nearly half of Jamaican girls face period poverty and many miss school—beyond pads, it’s water, soap, bathrooms, and privacy. Learning Tech: CXC reassures schools that AI in school-based assessments won’t be the final judge—teachers’ ongoing judgment stays central. Business Momentum: Delano Seiveright is touting Jamaica’s growing investment pull during a trade mission reception in Ireland. Community Spotlight: St Ann healthcare pioneer Dorrett Wood Brown marks 100 years, celebrating decades of maternal care through her Resthaven maternity home.
