This is Maëlle, our Co-founder and Director of Jamaica Rising, under the Kindah Tree in Accompong Maroon Village where Nanny and Cudjoe (Kojo) would plan battle strategies and have council meetings. ’Kindah’ means family, and thats what Jamaica Rising is about, the unification of us all as one family. We have been travelling deeper into Jamaica and gathering friends, who have become family all over the island. Our Docuseries introduces the amazing people we meet on our journeys, and gives a deeper understanding of the culture and landscape of our country. Jamaica rising pulls together people who are passionate about the causes they live and lead in, and creates a unified movement for us to share their powerful contributions with Jamaica and the world. It is a call to action for us all to get involved in empowering the work of our people and celebrating their positive contributions and achievements. Our events bring together our amazing friends to one place and our culture markets created by Maëlle are designed to bring Jamaica back to her people. .my.culturegroup

Before God and all mankind, I pledge the love and loyalty of my heart, the wisdom and courage of my mind, the strength and vigour of my body in the service of my fellow citizens; I promise to stand up for Justice, Brotherhood and Peace, to work diligently and creatively, to think generously and honestly, so that Jamaica may, under God, increase in beauty, fellowship and prosperity, and play her part in advancing the welfare of the whole human race.

Jamaica Rising: Building Bridges - Community, Experience, Share

Since 2012, Maelle Johnston creator of MaëMarkets and Crystal Furlonge founder of Upload The World have adventured through the mystical lands of Jamaica visiting and documenting inspirational places and people. Now they are bringing these communities together with Jamaica Rising, a docuseries and monthly festival that shares the creativity of Jamaican chefs, artisans, musicians and filmmakers.

This is a one of a kind video production and monthly event that empowers community and youth development. Feel the pride. You can play your part to present superior products, phenomenal people and unique healing experiences that make Jamaica a powerful contributor to the world...and we'll professionally document all of it!

The Jamaica Rising Docu-series will take you on a journey through the real Jamaica, to see the real country, to experience the real culture, and to meet and hear the voices and stories of the real people. So often we focus on the bad things in our country, when there are so many people doing wonderful and impactful things within their communities and for youth development. Jamaica Rising focuses on the extraordinary, whose every day way of life make Jamaica the beautiful, inspiring and culturally wealthy country it is. We will explore the parishes, highlighting the off the beaten track, people to see, places to go, things to do, and food to eat!

Anyone who has experienced Downtown Kingston either reminisces on, or dreams of, the former glory days of the nation's capital. For over 30 years, the disrepair and stigma that has befallen the city, and has cast a shadow that has left it forsaken for far too long. The world is in search of culture, and there are few places as beautiful and authentic as the potential of Downtown Kingston. In promoting authentic culture, Jamaica Rising presents an opportunity to join hands in supporting the redevelopment of Downtown Kingston through community engagement. We will be hosting a series of monthly events which will be carefully curated to feature people we meet on our journey through the docuseries to inspire community and youth development, and attract lovers of culture, food, art, music, and film. Join us in taking Jamaica to her People. Help us to build the bridge between commerce and community, the key to creating a unified nation, and restoring the heart and soul of Downtown to Kingston.
