Yesterday, I had the bandages removed, and today, I can see clearly now that the gray clouds are gone.
After going through the system and interacting with a number of people, I have a great appreciation for the value of the service being provided to those who can ill afford it. On behalf of the unending throng, which gathers daily, and myself, I wish to thank Dr Maya and her team for the passionate service they render that can only emanate from love of what they do and for whom they do it.

We must make Jamaica great again, not America! The strength displayed to survive the middle passage requires us to stand strong with our Caribbean neighbours and not succumb to the demagoguery of those who have consistently demonstrated contempt for those of our hue.
