One of the primary things I want to do with My Jamaican Vignettes this year is foster community and I hope that at least the few dozen people that regularly read the blog will support my personal writing this year as I bet on myself and show up in the most authentic way I can.

Throughout the year you will get updates on my progress as well as excerpts from my writing.

See you next Sunday for my January 2025 reading wrap-up.

Do you have any big scary dreams for 2025? You don’t have to share them here but how are you betting on yourself in 2025?
