“On judgement day I’ll be playin’ music for the rebels. Roots, rock, reggae music playin sweet in Heaven…”

Hurricane Melissa has left a trail of devastation across Jamaica -  destroying homes, flooding communities, and leaving thousands without access to food, clean water and essential resources. Families have lost everything.

Visiting Jamaica this past year was life changing. Jamaica is more than a country - it's a feeling, a rhythm, a flavor, and a friend. 

If you’ve ever listened to reggae or dancehall, climbed a waterfall, enjoyed a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, or talk about Jamaica's olympic winning bobsled team (p.s. they literally won another gold medal 3 days ago) ...

 ...please do the cool thing and swap out your $9.65 latte for a donation instead. No donation is too small.

Many communities are now focused on recovery and rebuilding in the weeks ahead. If you would like to offer support, I'm sharing the American Friends of Jamaica (AFJ) Disaster Relief Fund, which provides direct, on-the-ground assistance, including emergency supplies, temporary shelter, clean water, and long-term recovery support.

Join me in contributing to this beautiful island that's given us so much!
