Where We Learn, Connect & Grow - together.

jamhearts_founding_members_icon.png

Over the last 15 years, my journey with my website (my-island-jamaica.com) and my YouTube channel has been enriched by the invaluable feedback from individuals like you, yes you.

And it spanned the entire spectrum, from glowing experiences✨ to cautionary narratives 😔.

And so, all along, I've been diligently considering a solid solution where, not only can we harness this body of knowledge to the benefit of my readers, but also a space where, in addition to leveraging these learnings, there is  genuine collaboration, authentic experiences, trusted resources, meaningful connections, and effective networking.

That's where JamHearts Academy was born, and I'm thrilled to extend this invitation to you today.

How Exactly Does This Work?

Let's say...

  • You are planning to visit Jamaica but have questions. Perhaps regarding the best local accommodations, experiencing unusual activities (eg. consulting with a local herbalist), playing your favorite sport, etc. Or generally, how to access local services.

  • Or, you're considering doing business in Jamaica and seeking networking opportunities, guidance on business processes, finding trustworthy professionals, or learning the requirements.

  • Or, you're one of the many who are contemplating migrating here and is seeking recommendations on the best, cheapest and safest places to live, how to connect with like-minded individuals, and figuring out how to give back.

  • Or, above all that, you are yearning for learning and networking, or looking for safe and respected community of people who love and believe in this amazing country.

If your answer to any of the above is true, then consider this revolutionary community, your abled facilitator!

JamHearts Academy (the only of its kind for Jamaica), functions as a dynamic hub, facilitating, connecting, empowering, and engaging individuals - yes real people, real experiences, in a kind, safe space.

This is done through live zoom sessions and interactive discussions - live,  and asynchronously (via discussion boards).
Its a vibrant online space where learning is facilitated, questions find answers and networking flourishes .

Is This For Me?

Glad you asked! We know that not everything is for everybody, but when asked this question, I typically respond with this quick test - I call it our Litmus Test, and it is simply a quick set of questions for you!

It not inclusive but its a great guide...

feeling_disconnected_jamaica
  1. Do you feel disconnected, missing out, or far away from the Jamaican culture, especially if you are living outside of Jamaica?

  2. Do you have difficulty getting answers or accessing Jamaican services or experiences, especially if you are outside of the country?

  3. Do you lack a deeper understanding of Jamaican heritage and history - struggling with your roots or cultural knowledge?

  4. Do you feel you might have a knowledge gap on all things Jamaica?  Meaning how to gain access,  resources or people, and simply getting things done?

  5. Or perhaps its the lack of genuine community connection?
    That feeling of belonging and joy that comes from being a part of a family that also shares your passion and love for this beautiful island.

  6. Or above all, you have a sense or burning desire to do something, to contribute to something big, something meaningful that goes beyond our individual pursuits?

If your answer to any of the above is true, we have the solution for you... its the JamHearts Academy.
