This week the Diaspora in the USA gets ready to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. For those of us born and raised in Jamaica, this is a holiday tradition we have joyfully adopted, as it involves what Jamaicans love to do... get together with family and friends, eat, drink and be merry.As we give thanks for special things in our lives, the one many of us will have in common is…being thankful that we were born and raised in Jamaica.

This week’s special guest, Angela Noelle Thomas, is thankful that she was born literally "under the clock" as we say in Jamaica (Rosemary Lane, Kingston). As she prepaes for her PHD in International Business, Angella is ready to share her fun memories of playing in the yard and cooking alongside her mom on her own toy coal stove! Early schooldays spent at Catholic schools - Holy Family and Holy Childhood High were "eventful".

Join us this at 8:00PM this Wed: 11/23/11 as Angela takes us back to Holy Childhood High where she was quite outspoken and participated in numerous extra curricular activities. As co-editor of the school’s annual magazine she interviewed one of our national heroes, Sir Alexander Bustamante, as also Mrs. Edna Manley. This stroll down memory lane is filled with interesting events that will be sure to entertain you as you preparefor the big Turkey day..
