As most of you know by now, I travel for my job alot. I see some of the most beautiful people inside and out( dealing with plus size clothing, models, all things plus size) and I am so grateful. Well this last week I went to Montego Bay, Jamaica. AHHHHHH Jamaica! Good food, good music, history of my people and BEAAAAUTIFUL MEN! I have so much to tell I don't even know where to start. We went to this beautiful island to do a plus size photo shoot and to met with a very prominate business man who owns a marketing firm there so I did do some business, but after those 3 days it was all pleasure.
My experience there is on that I will not soon forget.I met a wonderful man there by the name of Chadwick, Chad for short. This Jamaican born man was 6'3 Carmel melt in your mouth color, built and was a total gentleman. We danced til 4 sometimes 5am on the hip strip, I brought Jerk chicken off the side of the road from a local, I visited Bob Marley's final resting place. I climbed Dunn's Waterfall which last year before committing to get in shape and take care of my body, I could have never done. Sat in the ocean, went out in a glass bottom boat to look at the white sea at sea.
This man (all the man that I encountered) call you a Queen and treat you like one. I learned that I am a "Fatty Boom-Boom sweet sugar dumpling, that dresses trash" translation I am a big bodied beautiful woman who is fly, I like that.
On the flip side of things I saw the ruins the save children with no shoes, no homes little girls the age of my son walking the street at 9pm trying to sell you something, Mother nowhere to be found. I saw the locals craving and selling items on the street for what us Americans would call pennies and I also found out if you have an average job you make $100.00 us dollars a week,most of us make that a day or more. Needless to say, my heart broke and I gave away as much as I could, I know that I live consciously but this took me to a whole different level. Make sure to give thanks for all that you have because tomorrow could be a very different day.
Ok now back to the good stuff, Chad and I have vowed to keep in touch with each other( he has called alot) and he has offered to teach me all he knows about Jamaica and I to him all about America.
You know sometimes you look for things but you never know where you may find them. God always has a plan.
Chow for Now,
Fran
