NASH AKA THE JAMAICAN LADY

Do we tell the ones that we love that we love them? Growing up "I love you" or "Love You" was not something that was often said in our house or rather was hardly said in our house. I don't recall hearing it from neither of my parents nor my grandparents to each other or to any of us kids growing up. I believe that it was just a Jamaican culture thing. We knew that they loved us by how they treated...

Enjoy some of me and my mother's favorites from the 80's as we continue our musical tribute to my mother. CHILL and ENJOY!!!

I had a very peculiar relationship with my father. I knew that he loved me, but he did not show it in the normal way. He never told us that he loved us growing up, nor hugged us nor kissed us nor played with us like other fathers did. He would do that with his nieces and nephews, even with his friends kids but not with his own flesh and blood. However, when the grand-kids came, he would do that wi...

Intentional versus mistake can feel the same to the person on the end of the hurt. We react differently to the person dishing out the hurt depending on the intention of the person. Did they intentionally want to hurt us or was it a mistake and I just got hurt as a result. We are more likely to forgive someone who mistakenly hurt us, than someone who intentionally hurt us. This episode focuses on o...

Second hour of non-stop musical tribute to Mummy. Hope you enjoy listening to this musical session, with some of my mother's favorite Bob Marley, Third World, and other songs that I heard growing up in Jamaica. Mummy, I know that you are listening and enjoying your favorite hits. Love and miss you always and forever. Enjoy!!!

My mother was my hero. I didn't always tell her that, but I believe she knew it. I did, however, get to tell her before she passed away on February 3 of this year (2026). Sometimes, we do take our parents for granted, not fully appreciating all that they sacrificed for us, and then we live with regret in not being able to show them how grateful we are for them. This episode, is the first of two, m...

Why did God bring me here of all places? God knows what he is doing. I don't believe that He would have allowed me to come here unless it was His plan. The opportunities that I got here, I truly don't believe that I would have gotten had I stayed in Jamaica. I was able to achieve a BSc and an MSc in Accounting, as well as my CPA, and am currently studying for a Certification in Information Systems...

Explanation for my long absence: Mother's illness and recent death kept me from having the heart to get on and talk about life. But this Podcast is my therapy for getting the strength to live without her. We will be doing more episodes as a tribute to her and her legacy. She must live on through me. We will be promoting more local Jamaicans and immigrants, and will plan on more events in the futur...

This episode is dedicated to those of us who are considered the sandwich generation. That is, we are looking after our elderly parents, and also looking after our kids. I have been looking after my mom for the past year through a series of illness that just seems to get worse and worse. She started out the year with severe weakness, and dehydration, and getting diagnosed as having lactic acidosis....

In this episode, I will talk about the story between my then fiance and I and how it is that I ended up in Washington State (not Washington DC, the ONLY Washington that most Jamaicans know and that automatically comes to mind when Washington is mentioned) all the way from my beautiful, sunny Caribbean Island, Jamaica, and all that I knew and loved, to a place that was totally foreign to me with no...

This episode is about my beginnings - my birth, my family, my upbringing, how I met the man who was the reason why i ended up in Washington state.

Pilot episode describing what the podcast will be about. A podcast about immigrant living. From our struggles to our successes in the land of opportunity.
