Honourable Louise Bennett-Coverley, O.M. She is to
Jamaican folk culture what Bob Marley is to Reggae Music. Her many timeless works have encouraged Jamaicans to proudly embrace our indigenous culture, especially the Jamaican dialect. “Miss Lou” is a true icon, a cultural ambassador and a source of inspiration to women and young people. Despite her achievements, she remains humble and committed to serving Jamaica.

Completing a Master’s Degree in Business
Administration at Cambridge University and well on my way to being the best corporate and commercial law consultant in the region, and starting a non-governmental charity organization dedicated to empowering young people and assisting the less fortunate
