Jam and Suppose classic!
Original Latin Fresh's classic hit
Original Kafu Banton!!
Original Aldo Ranks!!
I know most of y'all know at a minimum know El General's classic
Original Nando Boom!
Original Renato! a lot of #BlackWomen featured in this one with love and respect, big up Renato.
Another Nando Boom classic, notice it's based off the Jamaican song- Gregory Isaacs' Night Nurse. Afro-Antillean Panamanians are of #Jamaican and/or #Bajan descent for the most part.
My wife is Jamaican so I constantly interact with Jamaicans, and it still surprises me many Jamaicans don't know of the very influential #Jamaican diaspora in #Panama and the #Caribbean coast of #CentralAmerica. #Jamaicans this thread is a good starting point to meet your fam.

#Thread on #ShivSena's alleged 'mistakes' and what lies ahead.

Many people are at a loss with @ShivSena's change of stance, aligning themselves with @NCPspeaks and @INCIndia, trending #ShivSenaCheatsMaharashtra and all that.

I am looking at the bigger picture.
This has got to do with some specific changes which I have noticed since the start of 2019. Maybe this had started even earlier, but obvious signs were being shown from January 2019.
1) You may call @rautsanjay61 as foolish, but he has given enough signs that the stance is changing.
First being, his going against BJP in the CAB debate in the Winter Session of Lok Sabha (January 2019).

Good morning.
Today, I'm sure there will be social morons on Twitter playing their "yabutt" games, telling us how we should feel ashamed, or calling us "phobic" because we point out what really happened on September 11, 2001.
1/
Don't let them get to you. Block and move on.
18 years ago, we were attacked by Islamic extremists, bent on the destruction of our way of life, cheering as our brothers and sisters burned in fire, cheering louder as the buildings crumbled, taking even more to their deaths.
2/
We do NOT have to tiptoe around the facts. We do NOT have to "watch our language". Speak up and tell the truth. These extremists were screaming "Death to America", calling us "The Great Satan", and saying we need to "convert or be destroyed" for decades leading up to 9-11.

Kayode chased me out of our home.

Three years of marriage with two beautiful daughters to show for it, and he chased me.

Chased me like a thief that I was not, chased me like an unfaithful wife that I was not, he chased me..

out and brought in another woman.

Now barely two years after, he is here, on his knees, before my family and our kids, begging for me to take him back.

As I stared at him in his burgundy long sleeved kafan and polished black shoes, pleading on his knees before my father and
mother,with nothing but emptiness in my heart,the memories of the pain he put me through,the embarrassment,the heart break, the agony flowed back into my head,fresh as if it were yesterday..

"Wumni please forgive me,” he said, turning towards me, “Please forgive and forget..”

Much Ado about Bleaching!

#Thread!

Bleaching the skin is first a psychosocial problem because it stems from the ideology that dark skin is not as beautiful or attractive as light skin. This ideology is often promoted by society and is a residual influence from colonial times
Many people believe lighter skin is not only more attractive or beautiful, but it also affords them better opportunities both economically and socially and in many instances this appears to be true.
Men are often more attracted to light skinned women and quite a few job offers come with light skin as a requirement especially in the advertising and entertainment industries and sometimes in the corporate world as well.
