Pray for St Vincent 🙏🏾


・・・
Please keep in your prayers massive ! 😢😢😢

A volcano on the island of St. Vincent in the southern Caribbean that had been dormant for decades erupted, spewing clouds of ash. An evacuation is underway.

Today we learned that Khanice Jackson, a 20-year-old Jamaican woman who went missing, was found dead in Portmore, St. Catherine on Friday, March 26th 2021. She should be alive today.

Please click the link below to sign the petition created to legalize pepper spray in Jamaica. This is one step towards ensuring that Jamaican women and girls have safety and can protect themselves.

Caribbean women need protection. Please sign the petition and stand in solidarity with Jamaican women, today. 🇯🇲

Today, we lost one of our own.

Justice, you will be missed. You were well known to those who have come and gone through SOCA at Berklee and it is no doubt you were truly a light. Berklee can never forget you. SOCA can never forget you. Rest peacefully.

Rest in peace to a King, a Brother, and a good friend.

R.I.P. Justice Sharpson Ferreira 🙏🏾
