The following is Part 1 of the speech I delivered at a Jamaica Independence Gala held in New York City at which I was the guest speaker.
I am here tonight to celebrate 49 years of political independence for a country that we all love, regardless of where we happened to be located at any point in our lives. We are part of the Jamaican Diaspora, the segment of the Jamaican population that lives outside of the shores of the island. That, however, does not make us less patriotic, less proud to see black, green and gold or erase the feeling that courses through our bodies when our national anthem is played anywhere.

He is co-founder of Random Media, an integrated media company and Kaizen Interactive, an interactive marketing agency, as well as Business Development Manager at The RMP Group, an investment firm.
