I am still buzzing from an incredible event on Saturday, the Jamaican Women of Florida’s annual Women’s Empowerment Scholarship Luncheon. Theme: It’s In Our DNA
I was in attendance as a vendor, promoting my guided journal, live each day with LIGHT: *love for self ( yes! We deserve to be loved too!), and with *Intention *Gratitude *Humility & *Thoughtfulness
This year, we were invited to hear the guest speaker, and oh! what a thrill!!
The room lit up with such excitement even before the MC began the introduction. Mere anticipation, ignited by seeing the speaker’s pictures on the screen, sparked a thunderous ovation.
Clearly I was in the minority in not knowing this speaker! this dynamic, bold, energetic, phenomenal, proud Jamaican woman, Natasha D. Mayne, Esq
Loved her energy (was contagious!) her love for God, her family, her country, and our music! 🎶 🎼
And, her authenticity! Thank You for doing YOU!
Her message was clear- keep God first in your life, along with 6 other rules she lives by.
, thank you for gifting us your 7 Commandments!…..which I’ll share for those who missed it:)
1. God is oxygen
2. What you don’t change, you choose
3. Become a master strategist- find a way to win
4. Peace is wealth
5. Silence is sophistication
6. Greatness is light
7. Resilience births legacy
Her message resonated deeply with me, particularly as a mental health professional. It aligns with the core messages I’ve shared in my 25+ years in the field; messages that have been transformative for my clients.
Thank you and for a truly enjoyable and inspirational experience!
So blessed to be a part of the Jamaica Diaspora!
It’s in our DNA! 🇯🇲
