In this week's episode of Unfiltered, we discuss the alarming rise in violence against returning Jamaican residents, exemplified by the tragic murder of 72-year-old Luris Murray, a retired nurse from the U.S. who was killed in Ocho Rios in January 2025. This incident, along with other similar cases, has sparked serious concerns among expatriates about their safety upon returning to Jamaica, highlighting the growing tension between the diaspora and the reality of life in Jamaica today. Is it time for the Jamaican diaspora to reconsider returning or even look for alternative places to retire?

Located in the heart of the Caribbean, Jamaica beckons with its rhythmic beats, lush landscapes, and warm, inviting culture. This enchanting island nation is a veritable treasure trove for travelers seeking a blend of history, adventure, entertainment, delectable cuisine, and the warm embrace of its locals. Let's embark on a journey to unearth the vibrant tapestry that is Jamaica.Jamaica's history is a captivating tale of resilience and triumph, shaped by indigenous Taino communities, European colonization, and the legacy of African slavery. Visitors can explore the remnants of this complex past through historical sites like Rose Hall Great House, a colonial mansion with a ghostly legend, and the UNESCO-listed Maroon communities that were havens for escaped slaves.For thrill-seekers and nature enthusiasts, Jamaica is a paradise waiting to be explored. The Blue Mountains offer hiking trails that wind through misty rainforests, revealing hidden waterfalls and panoramic vistas. Meanwhile, the Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios provide an exhilarating opportunity to climb cascading tiers of crystalline waters.Music is the lifeblood of Jamaica, and the island has birthed genres like reggae, ska, and dancehall, which have transcended borders to captivate the world. A visit to Kingston's Bob Marley Museum offers insight into the reggae legend's life, while live music venues in Montego Bay and Negril pulsate with the infectious beats that define Jamaican culture.The lifestyle is infused with a relaxed charm that permeates every aspect of daily life. From the vibrant markets of Kingston, where locals and visitors alike peruse fresh produce and handcrafted wares, to the laid-back beach bars of Negril, where time seems to stand still, the island's way of life is a celebration of simplicity and joy.Its cuisine is a tantalizing fusion of African, Indian, and Spanish influences, resulting in a palate-pleasing array of flavors. Jerk chicken and pork, seasoned with a fiery blend of spices, are iconic dishes, while ackee and saltfish represent a national staple. Seafood lovers can savor freshly caught delicacies, such as escovitch fish and peppered shrimp, along the coast.But What truly sets Jamaica apart is the genuine warmth of its people. Whether engaging in lively conversations with vendors at a market or receiving a hearty "yah man!" from a passerby, visitors are sure to feel the island's hospitality. The Jamaican saying "No problem" encapsulates the easy-going attitude that permeates the culture, making every encounter a memorable one.Finally, Jamaica is more than just an island; it's a sensory feast, a rhythmic heartbeat, and an ever-welcoming embrace. Its rich history, adventurous spirit, vibrant entertainment, delectable cuisine, and warm-hearted locals come together to create an experience that lingers long after the journey ends. So, whether you're basking in the sun on Seven Mile Beach or immersing yourself in the beats of a Kingston street party, Jamaica invites you to be part of its vibrant tapestry.

The Heart Institute of the Caribbean (HIC) is engaged in an ongoing battle against heart disease in Jamaica and throughout the Caribbean region.Situated in the vibrant city of Kingston, the Institute, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Ernest Madu, is spearheading a groundbreaking mission to ensure accessible and affordable cardiovascular care for all. Dr. Madu's exceptional expertise and qualifications have paved the way for innovative initiatives reshaping the landscape of heart health. One of the Institute's most remarkable achievements is the democratization of cardiovascular care. The institute has taken proactive measures to make top-tier heart healthcare accessible to everyone, regardless of background. By providing comprehensive training to local talents, including budding physicians, the Institute has fostered a network of skilled professionals across the nation, reinforcing the healthcare infrastructure for the benefit of all citizens. Recognizing the geographical barriers that often hinder timely access to critical care, the Institute has established strategic centers in Mandeville and Ocho Rios. These centers have been strategically placed to alleviate the need for arduous travel to Kingston. The result? A smoother journey towards receiving essential cardiovascular treatment. In this episode of Impacting Jamaica Dr. Madu speaks with host Keisha Hill about the Institute's work and plans for the future. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
