Portland – The Other Jamaica

We are excited to welcome to BackyardLabrish- Ken Roueche, historian and author of: Portland: The Other Jamaica. Like many foreigners before him, including Errol Flynn, who described Portland as “more beautiful than a woman”, Ken too was captivated by the charm and intrigue of Portland. Ken met his Jamaican wife of 35 years in Toronto and they got married in Jamaica in 1975. His frequent visits to the Island ignited a passion to research and document Portland’s history of “dreamers, schemers and crusaders” Join us in the Backyard as we continue the Labrish with Ken and learn more about his love for Jamaica and his book about the beautiful and historic parish of Portland, Jamaica: "Land we Love".
