Happy 50th Anniversary of Independence to Jamaica & Introducing “COLORS OF JAMAICA”

By Lebawit Lily Girma | Published 5 August, 2012

 

 

I can only imagine how festive it’s been this week in Kingston and all over the island, let alone tomorrow, August 6.  I had the option of heading there to take part in the festivities but instead, I chose to attend an important travel-related conference stateside.
 

I want to wish all Jamaicans a very Happy 50th Independence when it comes tomorrow! 

 
And I’m excited to introduce the title of and new website for my upcoming photography book celebrating the island:

COLORS OF JAMAICA

 

Feel free to browse the book’s new site and the first blog entry.

One Love!
