  • Remembering Bob Marley: A Legacy of Music, Unity, and Black Excellence

    Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of the legendary Bob Marley, born on February 6, 1945. His music transcended borders, his words sparked revolutions of the mind, and his message of love, unity, and resistance continues to inspire generations.

    As we honor Bob Marley on his birthday, we also recognize his impact during Black History Month. Marley was more than a musician—he was a voice for the oppressed, a symbol of resilience, and a global ambassador for reggae. His songs like Redemption Song, One Love, and Get Up, Stand Up spoke of freedom, justice, and the power of the people.

    Even today, Bob Marley’s influence remains undeniable. His children and grandchildren continue his musical legacy, reggae thrives as a genre that unites cultures, and his words remain relevant in movements for equality and change. His story reminds us of the power of art in shaping history and empowering communities.

    So today, let’s play his music, reflect on his message, and carry forward his vision of love and unity. Happy Birthday, Bob Marley! Your legacy lives on.

    Q. A Trip you can’t forget

    I would say a trip I can’t forget. Was when I went to Jamaica with my family. I have never been on a trip with family as an adult, only with friends. This was my first time in Jamaica. It was really beautiful. We stayed 7 days all inclusive adults no kids. It had over 7 spots to eat at the resort, the clubs, and the water was beautiful. Everyone had their own room. I met so many people at the resort. I am not a big drinker but those Bob Marleys, and pina coladas were so good. I love swimming.

    We got together as a family but the majority of the time everyone did their own thing. We went to Margaritaville, It was also Sun fest, we saw Bennie Man, Common and his band and one of the band members played me a song. I also saw Jesse Royal, another Jamaican artist and his crew.

    Sunfest is when they have a big concert at Bob Marley Park they stay up all night outside partying. I ended up getting a headache with the drinks and the horns and music. I had a great time. It was a really exciting time. A much needed trip and from then on I have been traveling every year.

    Jamaica is beautiful. It has bad spots but everywhere you go have the good and bad. Just a beautiful trip I will not forget.
