A Cultural Exchange with Bentley University via Branson Centre Caribbean + an Insightful Session from TAJ & HEART!

by with No Comment Brand JamaicaCharitiesFit Happens with GabbyGW ArtHealth & FitnessWhat's Hot

Branson Centre Caribbean’s Clare Bailey and Lauri-Ann Ainsworth called me to share our Culture & Marketing practices and I answered. So did fellow Suga Artisans and Local Entrepreneurs By Saffron Safari, Ezy Ad Management and Den Arthur Jamaica.

We had a Session Overview of
“Brand Jamaica in Action: Marketing through Culture, Innovation & Collaboration”

This immersive, interactive session was part of Bentley University’s Jamaican Journeys program. We offered their marketing students firsthand insight into Jamaica’s vibrant cultural and entrepreneurial landscape. The discussion explored how culture informs global brand identity and the storytelling behind Jamaican brands that resonate both locally and internationally.

Brand Jamaica to di World!

#tbt to an Insightful Session from TAJ & HEART’s Revenue Services Department

Thankful for the HEART NSTA Trust for the insightful Professional Development Session they hosted last Wednesday at their Apprenticeship/MSME Unit by Rockfort!

Ms. Allen from TAJ was so full of knowledge that she imparted on us well, in addition to HEART’s Revenue Services Department. Suga Lifestyle and other MSMEs including Suga Artisan, Ayuhthat and more, left empowered with knowledge on tax, revenue management and business structure.

We understood that TAJ has started to go into the primary schools. However, we hope they lobby successfully for it to be a general course for all in the secondary school system, not just for persons doing Accounts/Principles of Business.

This Evening!

Come along even if you did not get the chance to RSVP. RSVPing adds you to our database and gives you name tags.

Hope to See you later!

A great Networking and Motivating Opportunity.

I was sooo happy a surprise Tiramisu came out for our occasion, but their House made Dessert is always a Winner°
