One of the primary things I want to do with My Jamaican Vignettes this year is foster community and I hope that at least the few dozen people that regularly read the blog will support my personal writing this year as I bet on myself and show up in the most authentic way I can.
Throughout the year you will get updates on my progress as well as excerpts from my writing.
See you next Sunday for my January 2025 reading wrap-up.
Do you have any big scary dreams for 2025? You don’t have to share them here but how are you betting on yourself in 2025?
I will always and forever support you and your work with a front row seat. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us.
Oh my lovely. Thanks so much. Leaning into this big and scary dream in 2025.
