A person must be able to see the beauty in their community, so they feel proud, respect and protect it; young people should grow up with an appreciation for art, culture and beautiful creations. #sitevisit with @coreymus @russham @trmn.hmltn 🎨 by: @paint_jamaica #newness #comingsoon #nofame #tb #fbf

They teach girls to close their minds and smother their hurts, tighten their corsets till their ribs bend, and propel their worth off the end of a thin measuring stick. We have buried the last of the good girls. We are all cold-hearted, but naked and filled with smoke...cuz 'Rebel' has become a thing they sell on clothing aisles...it's see-through . But perhaps we need the reminder: elegance bends for no one; elegance never goes out of style. Words by #me Jewelry by a queen 👑: @peaceisofbianca 📷 by @wabadude

The stereotype of the tormented artist: "...wrestle so vehemently against yourself that you come up bloodied every time; express constant dissatisfaction with your work; jealously compete against your peers...attach your self worth to external rewards; be arrogant when you are successful and self-pitying when you fail; honour darkness above light; die young; blame creativity...it works great. Till it kills you." #bigmagic #elizabethgilbert #instaquote #creative #nofame #beyondfear

#tbt history lesson: Orange Street, Downtown Kingston, Jamaica is also known as ‘beat street’, and was the birthplace of nuff reggae, ska and rocksteady artists. In the 1960s and 70s it's the area where these genres were championed: bawn & grown. 🎺🎶🔥 Late #musicmonday big ups to #dennisbrown a big musical inspiration (!) and his amazing daughter @itsmarlab 👑 plz check out her muziq 🎶 link in her bio. Nuff nuff love 😘 #inspiration #history #jamaica #retro #music #reggae #rocksteady #streetart #ziabenjamin #marlabrown #beautiful (at Orange Street)

Serendipity. 🔥The universe has a way of letting you know you're on the path you should be... I went downtown to the legendary little record shop #rockersinternational on Orange street to get some old records to use as decor in the #nofame video (yes a video is in the works!)... {side note: I love vinyl and we have a ton that's not decoration 🎺}...it was a rough week and I was feeling off...Then I get a stack of old scratched records for free as a little gift from Rockers International 🎁 and at the top of the stack is a 'World's Greatest Disco' album featuring a song my father executive produced, shopped and promoted at nightclubs wherever he could and finally got re- released on a bigger label.The song is now a disco classic...and it all happened just because he 1. Wanted to help out a friend in need (Andrea True) and 2. Took a chance in a field he loved but knew nothing about ('More,more,more' 🎶). He did this not for fame but for passion. It's serendipity that this record was given to me by one of the few remaining record stores in Jamaica, known primarily for reggae ...and the week of my dad's birthday... Happy birthday Daddy... You will always always be with me... Rest in Paradise 🌺 #thereisnobox #whatdreamsmaycome #journeystories #disco #music #jamaica #paradise (at Rockers International Records Fan Page)
