After the 2022 debut book launched of Jamoji—Essays of Life and Play in Jamaica, a collection of nonfiction essays exploring my childhood and adulthood as a Jamaican, growing up on the island and migrating to the US. And also how the culture, teachings, habits, rituals, and media culminated in a better understanding and appreciation for our multifaceted identity. With the unpredictability of the last two plus years I missed an official launch party, but it’s ok because it will be in JAMAICA and YOU'RE INVITED!What makes this book launch special is that it is also a fundraiser for Bridgeport Primary School in Portmore, St Catherine. I am committed to PLAY and access to play. In the book cover dedication I shared that a part of Jamoji book proceeds will go to Bridgeport Primary. Specifically, building a playground for the school. Which is special to me because it's the only school my sisters and I all attended while living in Jamaica and it is my honor to give back to where it all started. All ticket sales include custom Jamoji tote, Island style hors d'oeuvres &amp; open bar.The average budget for school playground equipment is $1,000 per child. Bridgeport primary has 150 students, with roughly 50 students accessing the playground at any given time. Donated funds will cover the cost of equipment, shipping, installation labor and at least five years of equipment upkeep.We intend to raise full funding for the playground via Jamoji book proceeds, private and individual donors, and organizational grants where possible.https://www.amazon.com/Jamoji-Essays-Life-Play-Jamaica/dp/1637306717/Our goal is to provide a playground that is embracive and encourages communication and participation. Providing much-needed activities that are great fun and essential training of fundamental physical and socio-emotional life skills.Author will also sign books on site. In addition to silent auctions with great prizes in store!Please feel free to contact us directly with any questions and or Sponsorship requests via email at contact@jamojiapp.com.In order to deliver the utmost and respected JAMAICAN HOSPITALITY, all ticket sales are final.
