About_Me_Wellesley_Gayle_2023

A little about me?

Absolutely! With pleasure :-)

My name is Wellesley Gayle and I am the founder and CEO of this unique Jamaican website, www.my-island-jamaica.com.

Yes, I am Jamaican, and from JAMAICA - born and raised in Westmoreland but migrated to St. James.

And yes, I currently reside here in Montego Bay - in a residential community called Bogue with my family.

I have lived in Jamaica all my life. If I am not here it is only for a short while, for business or vacation.

New! For authentic Jamaican products from my own hands, visit my Etsy store here :-)

With Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Business and Management at Northern Caribbean University (NCU) and Bradford University (UK) respectively, a Diploma in Software Engineering at CIT, now HCIT,  a lifetime of community leadership roles, several other personal development and professional  accreditation, coupled with my over 20 plus multi-industry years of leadership experience,  I was afforded the awesome opportunity to positively impact persons in ways I would have never imagined growing up as a country boy.

But, to be brutally honest with you.  I also love my country, I really do.

There is oh so much about this blessed little rock that astounds me everyday:

wellesley_with_brigid_places_to_go_in_jamaica

And so, with my native and in-depth knowledge of Jamaica along with ongoing professional industry certification (See Recent Team Jamaica Certificate Below), I created this website to share what I call... the uniqueness of Jamaica with the world.

I've also written quite a few sought after book publications, related to my country...

  • The Jamaica Insider Guide, 
  • The Jamaica Dessert Recipes
  • 101 Intriguing facts about Jamaica
  • and my latest, Jamaica On A Budget!

You can read more about each of them (or get a copy) right here.

Highly Ranked Website

Today, the website continues to, not only serve several hundred thousands of persons in their information serch per month, we are also in the top 1% of all websites online!

How So?

At May 2023, Netcraft.com indicates that they explore 1.109 billion websites of which 201,000,000 (201 million) are active.

But even with just the active sites, with an SimilarWeb.com (Alexa.com) ranking of under 1,000,000 (actually 456,209 at August 2023), this website is easily in the top 1% (at 0.2%) astounding!

We also get amazing reviews, offline, social and directly on the website. You can find some of the latest ones here.

Solid Support

I however, sincerely owe a lot to a company called SBI.

They gave me the inspiration and proved to me that I could do it - I could take this passion for my country and create a successful website.

I never hesitate to share this amazing story with my site visitors. In fact, I created a short report report that I shared exactly how I did it. 

I am confident that you will find the information here very helpful in your research of our beautiful island.

And by the way, if there is anything you need my help with, please don't hesitate to contact me.
