How Jamaica Became Her Home

#Jamaica is home to people from all over the world for many different reasons. In this interview I sit down with Lucinda Kay of the United States and discuss her lifelong affiliation with Jamaica and why she calls ‘Yaad’ home. Her family runs an incredible non-profit organization called Great Shape Inc. that affects thousands of Jamaican lives every year. We discuss the challenges the organization has had during the pandemic and how they were able to overcome these challenges. Lucinda is an incredible human being that is committed to Jamaica like no other. I encourage anyone considering doing volunteer work in Jamaica to take a look at Great Shape. My family’s non-profit organization, the Negril Education Environment trust, works closely with them on numerous projects
