Moringa-Sorrel, and Other Rasta Juices

Rasta juices on top of cooler

“Believing is doubting, knowledge is power.” Of all the things I remember from my conversation with Prophet Ashton Travis Miller yesterday, that statement sticks out clearly in my mind. At that point he was encouraging me to watch YouTube videos by a couple of Rasta elders. He reassured me that they had nothing to do…

The Fishermen at Montagu Dock

Piles of fish

This morning I woke up and wanted to go to the dock. My annoyance at being awake before 7, when I didn’t have to go to work, quickly dissipated when I imagined romantic early morning light over the ocean, boats in the distance. Forsaking my routine, I pulled on tights and a t-shirt, grabbed my…

NAGB park entrance

Yesterday was a gorgeous day. The sky was a brilliant blue, with a few fluffy white clouds; the sun shone bright but not hot, making everything look bolder and crisper; the air was neither humid nor cold. I was thrilled to sit and soak it all in on a quick lunch break, in the park…

Juju Season

Orange juju and sky

It’s juju season here, and every chance I get I’m in the yard of my childhood home, hunting for ripe fruit to pop into my mouth and stuff into my purse. The house is vacant now, and the garden is overgrown. I’m always a tiny bit nervous that someone is going to stop and ask…

One Family Exit Banner 2, 2018

Hello friends! Happy New Year! How’ve you been? I had every intention of writing through the holidays, but I surely did underestimate how busy I was going to be. I mean, I knew I was going to have a lot going on, but I wasn’t prepared for the reality of it, you know? Hours after…

Ackee tree 2, close up

Hello friends! We’re two weeks into December, can you believe it? I’m still in Jamaica with my family, doing the things families do. Last night my dad, stepmom and I went to hear some live music at this chill outdoor restaurant. We stayed out till almost 1am, like they didn’t have to go to work…
