Francesca Tavares | Jamaica’s troubles: The history we carry without speaking (1970s)
When the Irish speak of “the Troubles”, they say the words with a particular weight – a compression of grief, passed between generations like a wound that never fully closed. They have their literature, their public reckoning. Even their silences are named.

D’Yani and Remus unite for ‘Live Life and Prosper’ album - Single ‘Journey’ to be released June 7
Reggae singer D’Yani and producer Kareem ‘Remus’ Burrell, the son of legendary Xterminator Records founder Phillip ‘Fatis’ Burrell, have teamed up for what both men believe could be a defining moment in their respective careers.
The collaboration has produced Journey, an uplifting and deeply personal single that will be released on digital platforms on June 5, serving as the lead offering from D’Yani’s forthcoming album, Live Life and Prosper. For Burrell, who is steadily carving out his own identity as the head of XTM.Nation while honouring one of reggae music’s most revered legacies, the partnership feels both natural and significant.

MoneyMasters breaks ground on US$25m 10-storey commercial project near Half-Way Tree
When Claudette Crooks set out in 2022 to build a commercial project in Kingston, she had a pointed challenge for Jamaica’s pension fund managers: Instead of investing incremental amounts in New York and London, invest here.
Pension fund managers, credit unions, other investment firms and one individual backed Crooks’ idea and Thursday morning The Sana, a US$25-million, 103,000 sq ft mixed-use landmark at 5–7 South Avenue, Kingston 10, near Half-Way Tree — broke ground.

Handbag designer Lenise Hewling realises lifelong dream with eLSH
Lenise Hewling is crystal clear on the identity for the luxe accessory brand eLSH, which she introduced to the world last August. "I had a desire to create pieces that felt deeply personal and enduring," explains the handbag designer and West Palm Beach, Florida, resident. "[I wanted to make] objects with soul, story, and presence."
She is hard at work, deftly cutting full-grain cowhide leather sourced from Italy, when she jumps on a Zoom call to discuss inspiration and brand building. For the philosophical Hewling, stitching eLSH's minimalist bags crafts a narrative that extends beyond being statement makers for the fairer sex.

Editorial | Table FLA report now!
When the House of Representatives convenes tomorrow, Speaker Juliet Holness has no recourse other than to table the Integrity Commission’s report of its investigation into alleged corruption at the Firearms Licensing Authority (FLA).
If Speaker Holness was burdened by a mistaken assumption of a legal or ethical constraint to the publication of the report, that impediment was lifted by the High Court’s rejection last week of an FLA effort to effectively hobble movement on the report, as well as other separate rulings by Jamaica’s courts on the sub judice rule. One of these was delivered only a day prior to Justice Tara Carr’s in Chambers decision in the FLA matter.
