Do female dancehall entertainers make good role models?

In Jamaica these days calls are coming from call corners for more attention to be placed on our children to ensure that we protect them as best as possible. We should ensure that they get off the streets early, they aren't taken advantage of and that they attend school. However, what about the examples that we set for them? The way we dress, the relationships we keep, the way we talk to each other, shouldn't we be taking a look at that as well? This takes me to our female entertainers and the examples that they set.

From a very young age children find a love for music and they easily eat up everything they see and hear. Recently, two of our most popular female entertainers got into an argument on social media for the entire world to see. It wasn't just the fact that they were arguing but it was mostly about the things that they were saying to each other. Everyone has access to the internet and unfortunately children are getting electronic devices at a very young age. The influence that these ladies have is a great one and instead of using it to spread positive messages for young girls they instead use their influence to add more negativity to our already declining moral values.

Everyone is entitled to do things their own way but we should always be mindful of the impressionable people that watch our every move. The way they dress, the lyrics of their songs sends a message that sexuality is at the top of their priorities. Some may say that they shouldn't be held responsible for those who look up to them and that they didn't ask to be role models. However, not because you didn't ask its something that comes with being in the public life and you can't hide from it. I have seen entertainers who spread positive messages on one hand but on the other hand their lifestyles paint another image. My call to our female entertainers is that they be more mindful of the messages that they send as our country needs more positivity right now more than anything to help with decline in morality that our country is currently facing. The constant sexual themes in our music has played its part it's time now to start a new rave of uplifting messages for our young people.
