guys
ok so for non-jamaicans/Caribbeans/Brazilians this wont make sense so basically in some of the places listed above we have an event called 'carnaval' which is like (for jamaica at least) a GIANT parade and the biggest celebration of the year (besides independence day for jamaica again) and im wondering should i draw 4x in carnaval fits (pic below for example) bc it was a few days ago??

africanarchives —Nanny also known as Queen Nanny was a Maroon leader in Jamaica during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Enslaved Africans who escaped & established independent settlements in the Americas were known as maroons.
—Nanny was a runaway slave from Western Africa who had been sold into slavery. It is usually assumed that she was born into the Ashanti tribe of modern-day Ghana.
—Nanny and her 4 brothers (all of whom went on to become Maroon leaders) were sold into slavery and eventually escaped to the highlands and jungles that still make up much of Jamaica. Nanny and one of her brothers, Quao, established Nanny Town in the Blue Mountains on the Eastern side of Jamaica.
—Nanny Town thrived because of its remote location in the highlands, far from European villages & difficult to attack. Nanny avoided attacking plantations and European towns, preferring instead to farm and trade with her neighbors in a civilized manner. She did, however, conduct multiple successful raids to free slaves trapped on plantations and her actions resulted in the emancipation of about 1,000 slaves during her lifetime.
—Nanny & the Windward Maroons flourished and multiplied during Nanny’s lifetime. The triumph of the Maroons threatened the British colonial authorities. Plantation owners demanded action from colonial officials after losing slaves and having their equipment and crops torched by Maroon raids.
—The Jamaican jungles were searched by hunting groups made up of British regular army soldiers, militias & mercenaries. Captain William Cuffee, often known as Captain Sambo, is said to have murdered Nanny in one of the war’s many brutal battles in 1733. The war lasted from 1720 to 1739, when a truce was declared; Cudjoe, one of Nanny’s brothers and a Maroon War leader, was the driving force behind the treaty.
—Following Nanny’s death, many Windward Maroons relocated to the more sparsely populated Western (or Leeward) part of the island. The British eventually seized Nanny Town and destroyed it in 1734.

My wife went to the West Indies. by u/Mickleborough
‘My wife went to the West Indies.’ ‘Jamaica?’’No, it was her decision.’This is a random, rambly post.Other than the very real possibility that:In respect of their appearance at the Bob Marley film première.might Sussexes be trying to show that they can tour Jamaica better than the (then) Cambridges?The (then) Cambridges couldn’t have had a pleasant tour, with the Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness not observing fundamental rules of politeness and courtesy:By inference, the British are holding Jamaica back since they gained independence in 1962.Here are Sussexes photographed with the Jamaican PM at the première:Why are you giving an ex-British Royal the time of day, Andrew Holness?And with Paramount CEO Brian Robbins and his wife Tracy James:Is it summer or winter?From the placement, it looks like the central point, for red carpet photography purposes, is in front of the image of Bob Marley. From these pictures, which seem to be the ones most reproduced, Sussexes are actually off-centre. The VIPs are the PM, and the CEO of Paramount. Sussexes are a support act.Daily Mail unarchived / archived for some background. post link: https://ift.tt/B632brc author: Mickleborough submitted: January 24, 2024 at 02:15PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit
