After Hurricane Melissa: A Call for Jamaica’s Stars to Stand Up for Their Fans

In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, Jamaica is reeling. Entire communities have been left in ruins, homes flattened, roads destroyed, and countless families displaced. From Portland to Clarendon, Kingston to St. Mary, the island carries the deep scars of one of the most devastating storms in recent memory. Yet even as the rain subsides and the floodwaters begin to recede, one truth remains clear — Jamaica’s greatest strength has always been its people. And right now, those people need help more than ever. This is a call, not to the government or to politicians, but to the sons and daughters of Jamaica who have risen to fame and fortune. To the entertainers, influencers, athletes, and public figures — both at home and abroad — the time has come to stand up for your fans. These are the same people who streamed your music day and night, who wore your brand, who shared your posts, who prayed for you when you were just starting out. Today, many of them are left without shelter, without ...

They Came for Safety, Found Suspicion: The Migrant Experience in Britain Today


Migration isn’t new. People have always moved—for safety, for opportunity, for survival. In recent years, the UK has seen a rise in migrants fleeing war, persecution, and hardship. But arriving here doesn’t mean the struggle is over. Many find themselves in unfamiliar towns, facing suspicion, isolation, and fear. Some are housed in hotels under 24-hour security, advised not to leave their rooms due to rising tensions and protests. They came seeking safety—and now fear for it again.

The public debate is loud. Some question the government’s support—hotels, food allowances, legal aid—while others argue these are basic human rights. Meanwhile, over 787,000 British citizens migrated abroad between 2012 and 2021, often for better jobs or quality of life. Migration isn’t one-sided—it’s global. And whether arriving or leaving, people move for the same reasons: hope, survival, a chance to rebuild.

Recent changes in police guidance now allow forces to disclose the ethnicity and nationality of suspects in high-profile cases, if it’s deemed to be in the public interest or necessary to counter misinformation.

While some see this as a move toward transparency, others worry it could deepen public bias—especially in a climate where migrants are already under scrutiny. Yet the reality is, not all migrants arrive under the same circumstances. For example, over 218,600 Ukrainians have come to the UK under government-backed visa schemes since 2022—many welcomed into homes, supported by communities, and offered a chance to rebuild. It’s a reminder that migration isn’t a single story, and not every arrival is met with hostility

This isn’t about blame. It’s about understanding. Migrants are scared too—navigating a new country, new language, and often, a cold reception. As we face these questions together, maybe it’s time to ask not who belongs, but how we live alongside each other with fairness and dignity.  Because in the end, wasn’t the world meant for all of us?
