Are you a good parent?

Some will boast how much they given to their child, how they ave them the opportunities to foster the best education. Some will boast that they provided them with the best of everything, good clothes, technological gadgets and all the money they needed. How many can boast that they know their child's friends, they know their child's dislikes, they know when their child is hurting? To be able to know these things to me is what makes you a good parent. Some parents are confused when their child will echo that "You don't even know me" but why are they confused? How many times have you stopped to ask your child how are things? How is your life going? Food, clothes and shelter can't makeup for a lack of communication. Some children spend most of their childhood hiding from their parents, simply afraid to say certain things to them therefore resulting in them making decisions on their own without proper guidance.
Jamaica needs parents in the homes yes but Jamaica primarily needs parents who will develop actual relationships with their child. Children can live in a house with their parents for years and the parent has no idea who their child really is they simply felt that all they needed to do was provide for their physical needs while neglecting the emotional needs. Parenting goes far beyond just being able to stand and say this is my son or this is my daughter but being able to say that this is my son or this is my daughter with whom I have a wonderful relationship with.

Reimagining the Big Screen: How Palace Amusement Can Level Up the Jamaican Movie Experience

As a Digital Marketer in Jamaica, how would I revamp Palace Amusement? Here are some of my ideas: 1. The History of Palace Amusement - Create a campaign highlighting where the company is coming from, where it is now, and where it will be. Speak to grandparents who visited at the start, and have each group share their experience. Tie these experiences in with a film of the time. 2. The Love of Palace – Many couples have had their first dates at the movies, sparking relationships that blossomed into marriages and lifelong love stories. This campaign will highlight some of these real-life romances using a black-and-white aesthetic to evoke nostalgia and emotional connection in a visually captivating TV commercial, which will also be promoted across digital platforms. The campaign will culminate in an in-person event where couples with similar love stories will be invited to a special screening of the romance movie currently showing. Brands will be invited to partner in creati...

New Look, Same Tastee: Creative Digital Rebrand Ideas to Revive the Brand Online

My first patty love was Tastee Patties, and to be honest, it is truly disappointing to see that they have failed to capitalize on and take the brand to new levels. In this blog post, I will break down some of the ideas that I would implement to revive the brand in the digital space to surpass what competing brands are currently doing. The First Bite In primary school, Tastee Patties felt like a reward; our end-of-week treasure after saving a few dollars from lunch money each day. That first bite was more than food; it was joy, friendship, excitement, and pure Jamaican childhood wrapped in a flaky crust. The First Bite Campaign will tap into that shared memory, reconnecting generations to the Tastee moment they’ll never forget, while also introducing younger Jamaicans to the brand in a way that feels timeless, cultural, and deeply personal. Tastee Canteen Makeover Challenge Tastee Patties has been a staple of school lunches across Jamaica for decades, sponsoring canteen areas and m...

The Young are being murdered

The death of the young By:©Saccheen Laing I put on my uniform Armed with books I set out in search of a good education. Streets lined with the blood stains of those who fell on the way I'm determined to live to see another day But I have no control over those who believe they can have their own way. Armed with guns and knives They attack me, They assault me, They abuse me , Because they believe they have control over me Because of guns and knives in hand. In my hands I write my plans A singer, an actor, a doctor, a fashion designer or a police man I clench my fist as my blood runs to join those who fell before My plans remain in my hands Never to be realized I am young but that means nothing on this land. The blood of the young will replace the ocean that surrounds and beautifies the land How many more shall die before you answer when I ask why? My mother shall cry and bury her son before he becomes a man My brot...
