Bless up Reggae JAHMers, @JustinParke here once again with a collection of the most JAHMIN Posts Of The Week in the ReggaeJAHM Community.

WHAT A GWAAN?

     @Sreypov and I are finally legally married here in Suriname, and we are so isolated that we didn't even know we missed Suriname's Independence Day until I read @rarej's post. I heard a large amount of fireworks, but none of our local friends had mentioned anything, so I assumed some locals were just playing with fireworks.

     This JAHMIN POSTS OF THE WEEK curation from the ReggaeJAHM Community has Christmas vibes, #APART posts, #DashoutSunday posts, and more. Big up all of you Reggae JAHMers all around the world, and keep the positive vibes flowing into December.

     You don't need to be in the Caribbean or from it to post in our community. From Ital food to reggae music, Caribbean news and much more is welocme in our community. To learn more about our tags/cultural initiatives, see the following posts: Dashout Sunday, APART, and RJNAS.

Stay positive ReggaeJAHMers, and give thanks for the beauty of life.

WHAT'S JAHMIN' THIS WEEK?

     Every week, I select a 5% beneficiary of this post, and this week's winner is @rarej for reminding me I missed Suriname's Independence Day.

🎆 National Holiday In Suriname ✨

Srefidensi in Suriname 🌱 Independence Day
by : @rarej

     With COVID-19 still preventing some freedoms of movement, Suriname turned 45 years old, and although I didn't miss Suriname turning 44, our isolation and COVID-19's restrictions on social settings caused us to completely miss this holiday. In this post you'll find a brief history of Suriname's independence and a little bit of what's going on in @rarej's life.

🚶‍♀️ Walk It Out 🚶‍♀️

Burning Spear - "Walk" 💪 #APART {A Picture And Reggae Tune}
by : @kidsisters

     The @KidSisters love the #APART initiative by ReggaeJAHM co-founder @dmilliz, but they are non-native English speakers, and patois in music is very hard for them to decipher. Because of this, they chose Burning Spear's "Walk," an easy to understand song, but it doesn't make any less powerful. These kids are no strangers to walking the streets of Paramaribo, especially because Suriname's public transportation is too expensive and inefficient, no share taxis like Jamaica.

🔮 Da Future, Seen!

New Challenges Ahead 🌞 I Can See Clearly Now || APART
by : @tanjakolader

     "Have you ever won an election?" Well, our fellow JAHMer @tanjakolader has, so congratulations sistren, live it up!! She's had some new experiences this year indeed, and beginning her Hive journey was one of these experiences. 2020 has certainly been a year of global trials and tribulations, and it's good to see someone succeeding despite the circumstances.

#DashOutSunday initiative - A special day (Every day)
by : @josevas217

     Speaking of global trials and tribulations, @josevas217 is someone dealing with a new life in a new country due to a range of difficult circumstances going on in Venezuela. Usually he's cooking something up at home, but he and his wife treated themselves to a meal out on the town. It's good to see this couple out on the town and smiling, a brief escape from the worries that plague many of us around the world.

📯 Caribbean Christmas 🎄

Jamaican Christmas Parade
by : @luca1777

     I myself have been witness to random public performances in Jamaica, and it looks like @luca1777 was witness to this band performance in pre-corona times, although I don't know how long ago it was. It was a cool sight to see, as most of what I've witnessed in Jamaica have been Kumina and Rastafari-related events. Jamaicans know how to play wind instruments, and this crew is no exception.

🦘 G'Day, Reggae Down Under Anyone?

enjoying some irie music from australia ..
by : @mariluna

     Australia is definitely not even in the top 10 when I think of countries producing high-quality reggae music. Reggae music is international though, so no matter how big or small, it is ever-present around the world. In this post @mariluna highlights Fyah Walk, a band that has a very authentic sound I must say. Good to know they are keeping good vibes down under.

GIVE THANKS FOR READING

     Stay tuned for more JAHMIN Posts Of The Week and bless up yourselves all around the world. Keep your loved ones safe and keep surviving and hustling any way you know how, for these are tough times we are living in.

More time...

New challenges and adventures up ahead in the ReggaeJAHM community! 💪

Don't worry about missing the holiday. Me and @tanjakolader didn't really celebrate or participate in anything either. Mostly because of covid, but also because it was a perfect midweek rest day. Usually people go all out with cooking festive meals on that day, but we ate leftovers. 😂

Well, COVID-19 has certainly made a muckery of the world, and it's definitely caused us to spend more time indoors than we'd like, but not out of fear, just a shear lack of things going on to check out. Bless up! !ENGAGE 35

Congratulations with the marriage! Here's some virtual fireworks to give it a good and blessed start🎇

I really feel a bit guilty that we didn't mention the Independence day way earlier. Could have been fun for the family to see some of the festivities. Of course with the distance protocols in mind. But we also missed a lot of it; I had only seen a few shots on the tv. Should be on YouTube by now, but haven't found any good video yet to share.

And indeed, we have all had our ups and downs. Even I, but let's count the blessings 👍💪

Give thanks @TanjaKolader!! It is a big thing indeed, and we're so glad to have completed this bureaucratic challenge. Either way, hoping we eventually link up before our time here is complete. !ENGAGE 50

Hi @justinparke and @reggaejahm
Yes, it is actually good to escape from everyday reality from time to time, it was not a bad idea.
Thank you very much for the mention, see what I can think of tomorrow for the Dashoutsunday.
Happy weekend to you and your beautiful family.

Thank you
