Nah you did your thing with the breakdown. These were questions many of us might still have. Many people have expressed uncertainty with writing because they don’t practice Christianity anymore for this reason. It’s a conversation that needs to be had…thank you for bringing it up!

Tabitha, we need to talk --Jamaican to Jamaican! So much of what you wrote is too familiar to me. Reading your piece "mek di hair stan' up pon mi neckback". 😯

Tabitha's piece spoke to my WHOLE SOUL!! I was that rebellious Caribbean AuDHD child trying to make sense of the things I was taught in church that didn't make any sense to me at all. Thank you for putting this experiences into such beautiful words @tabithablair

Gyal! Thank you for reading! 🥹 They way our culture will beat us not teach us into their narrow view of Spirituality is baffling and heartbreaking. Dem only wan fi regurgitate and pontificate — never examine and relate. 🤗
