Trelawny Woman

Greetings Family,

Can you believe it?  We are about forty days and forty nights from Womanfest Trelawny!
As such, I've simply got to go down to Trelawny to work with Joy Laesch to promote the
festival in the Jamaican media, meet the Jamaican Workshop Facilitators and Volunteers,
attend to some last minute details.  My greatest hope is to find cast and crew from the movie, Sankofa and invite them to the Jamaican debut!  This reunion has been nearly twenty years in the making!

In exactly one week, I will sitting in Joy's villa

or at Cher and Barry G's Jamaica Jewel because
they have wireless internet and cool cool vibes

in my favorite place in the world, Duncans,
drinking something cold and frosty,
eating some amazing grub:

and though I will be working hard to for Womanfest Trelawny,
toiling away in Jamaica blows toiling away in America right out
of the water!  And what gorgeous water it is!

I will be traveling to Kingston for a press conference and to meet with tv
and radio folks and introduce our fest to the University of the West Indies.
Who knows where else this adventure will take me?  One thing is true...
Jamaica is magic, but you must let her unfold her spell on her terms.  
If you are patient, respectful, grateful and have a sense of humor, some
unexpected miracle will knock you off your feet!  Everytime!

I've been to Jamaica about 20 odd times.  So, hopefully, one

day, they will adopt me! 

Big up Trelawny Parish!  I'll soon be home! 

If you are going to be in Jamaica at the same time and wish to link up

please e-mail me a womanfesttrelawny@gmail.com. 

I look forward to seeing your smile!

One Love

Marla
