  1. Women’s health and wellness
  2. Personal finances
  3. Mental health
  4. Book reviews and author interviews
  5. Film and TV reviews
  6. Mindfulness

Just pitch or share if you have a story. Are you a new writer with a Substack or Medium and want another outlet, consider My Jamaican Vignettes blog.

Fiction Fridays

Years ago. I used to write and share flash fiction on Fridays on My Jamaican Vignettes.

If you’re interested, please share your short stories or poetry and let’s reignite ‘Fiction Friday’ at least one time this month. Thanks. Think about it.

I will also be dusting off my notebooks and revisiting my 2024 short stories and I will be publishing here as well. So look out for short stories in September 2026. This feels scary but why not? My blog, my platform, by space to write and dream and share. But am I still a fiction writer?

Jamaican Local Micro Enterprises: Let’s Connect

Hello small and micro businesses especially new founders in the wellness, beauty and arts space. Reach out, let me know what you’re building and we can do a shout out. This isn’t a call for freebies but let me know if you have a small business and if My Jamaican Vignettes can see, feel or experience the product, experience, venue and we can do an interview, Q and A or profile. I have no issue paying for items but I want to platform women in businesses, women in the arts, women in wellness, women in mental health advocacy or therapists.
