Every woman brings to the table a powerful combination of empathy, resilience, and insight—qualities that transform policies into possibilities and communities into movements.
But beyond individual strength, there is great value in collective representation. That is why I am proud to stand among a growing movement of women in Jamaican politics who are reshaping the landscape of national life. I am especially proud to do so as a member of a political movement that has always championed the role of women in nation-building.
The People’s National Party has a long and proud legacy of advancing gender equity and uplifting women’s voices. In fact, it is the home of Jamaica’s first female Prime Minister, The Most Honourable Portia Simpson-Miller, whose bold leadership opened doors for many of us. Her legacy is more than historical. It is a living reminder of what is possible when women lead with conviction and compassion.
When Women Lead, It Is A Reminder That…
01. Empathy is Leadership
Women often lead with deep understanding and a vision grounded in the real needs of people. Leadership for us is not simply about commanding attention, but about listening, healing, and building up others around the table.
02. Collaboration Over Competition
Our leadership is rooted in cooperation. We work to bridge divides, bring people together, and move forward in unity. This ability to bring people along is critical to advancing national priorities and strengthening the social fabric of our communities.
03. A Lens of Equity
Because of our lived experiences, women bring a deep awareness of injustice and inequality. We work for fairness and ensure that solutions reach those who are too often left behind or left out of decision-making spaces.
04. Bold, Purpose-Driven Action
Women lead with purpose. We ask the questions that matter. Is this just? Will this truly serve the people? Will this stand the test of time? Our commitment is not just to winning elections, but to building a future worth inheriting.
Why This Matters
Our country is stronger when all voices are present at the table of leadership.Our policies are more just when they reflect the realities of every Jamaican.And our future is more secure when it is built with compassion, fairness, and vision.
Women are not simply participating in national life. We are shaping it.When we rise, we carry communities with us. And when we lead, we bring others along. This is not just a statement of belief. It is a living reality—one that will be on full display as I join my fellow candidates for the People’s National Party at the PNP Women’s Rally in Central Westmoreland.This gathering is more than an event.
It is a celebration of the leadership, strength, and voice of Jamaican women, and a powerful reminder of the kind of future we are working to build. I encourage all constituents to come out, stand with us, and be part of this national moment.The time is not only coming. The time is now. Let us rise together.
