I love your energy. It's infectious. I couldn't stop laughing. You are an excellent ambassador for both countries. French Guiana is now on my list of places to go to.

[@TheAdventuresofKen]

@@TheInspiredthought Yay!!! Thank you very much!!!! I guess I'll see you soon then!!! 😉

[@johnr4457]

This is the most enjoyable interview I have seen. Coming from MoBay, either you or your parents must be familiar with Dr. Upton Robotham. This interview was very informative, fascinating and extremely humorous. Thank you. One question I would have like to hear is what is the typical route to get there from Jamaican.

[@saustin142]

This jamaican is a riot. Where did you find her ? You need to bring her back!

[@suebell1212]

Loved her personality, very pleasant!! 😊🇯🇲

[@delightedbyu1]

Wow Suzette, me again, I'm enthralled by this interview. Such a down to earth woman representing her country!

[@billlincolnmd9159]

Yes, this Keneice lady is very entertaining to watch--very enjoyable personality. She will succeed anywhere. She needs her own show, her own channel show on KZbin or on Television. She has a talent to express herself and be liked immediately.

This is one of the best interviews I have seen. As someone born and breed in the U.K. but who’s family ancestry is Jamaican, it’s really lovely to hear that fantastic wonderful accent. I don’t have that may Jamaica relatives anymore. We are all now 3rd or 4th generation British.. keep the good work up. This lady was great. Thank you 🙏😁

[@jeromemorvan7092]

French Guyana formerly( Guiana) was formerly known as CAYENNE The European. FRENCH space launch pad for the ARIANNE ROCKET PROJECT IS IN THE JUNGLE OF CAYENNE aka French Guyana and is really in the Amazon Jungle hence the sweltering heat/ humidity. I'm sure we all have heard of the spice called CAYENNE PEPPER. That's the country it is named after.During slavery after the slaves were whipped raw the women would use it as a salve so that the wounds would heal without leaving scars and Keloids on the backs of their men.

[@delorishaffenden2370]

Great interview as usual 👍 Jamaican vibes from London

[@karleinegraham446]

I am surprised that the interviewee , a graduate of Manchester High did not know where French Guiana is located. In Jamaica I was taught that South America was roughly divided into two by Spain and Portugal, the leaders in exploration in the 15th century. The Spanish half divided into factions such as Peru, Ecuador, Uraquay etc. The Portuguese half held together as Brazil. Later other Europeans countries joined the exploration race. The English, French and the Dutch snapped up parts of Brazil which was harder to protect. From that we now have ( British Guiana) 🇬🇾 Guyana, French Guiana, an overseas territory of France, and (Dutch Guiana) Surinam. The Ameridians did not die out and the Brazilians are the largest and now increasingly influential country in South America. We must learn about the New World of the Americas of which Jamaica is apart . I would ask if she ever visited Guyana and/or the Amazon area.

[@georgiagunning5533]

Love her but was a bit surprised she did not know about French Guiana I am a grandma out of Manchester and know about that Island through history class.

[@karleinegraham446]

Is 🇯🇲 Jamaica not teaching that there are three Guianas and that (British Guiana) 🇬🇾 Guyana is culturally part of the British West Indies?? I remember, in the 1960s and 1970s, the men appreciating and the women loving the Guyanese cricketers Lance Gibbs and Rohan Kanhai. There are quite a few Jamaican men with the name "Rohan".

[@TheAdventuresofKen]

Dropped Geo and History very early for other subjects. Surprisingly, at my departure, not many people knew where it was, and to this day, ppl ask me where it is.

[@kaydenpat]

@@georgiagunning5533 French Guyana is not an island. It’s a country in South America.

[@butafogo1]

Karleine, I was a bit disappointed by her ignorance too. But I was charmed by everything else about her and the interview.

[@myrnegordon1287]

I am a Guyanese living in Brasil and when you spoke about talking to de tree dem, I remembered growing up and we had a papaw treee that would not bear any fruit for years, my mummy told it one day that she would cut it down if it didnt produce and that tree had fruit on it in LESS THAN A MONTH!!!! I will never forget that, just a few little fruits and it never produced more after those....lol Anyways, thanks again for these, I am binge watching and loving every bit ..... Blessings.

[@9ethergoddess277]

The carnival sounds ritualistic with the men dressed as women and visa versa

[@oraltraditions6127]

The Patios book or Bible is difficult because they make a big deal with the spelling. For me, I collect proverbs to preserve our culture, but I make my sentences and words simple. For instance, instead of saying meck, i say mek.This is an example of how I write sentences. Uno noh undastan the ting. Yu caan do dem ting deh. This is pretty simple compared to the Bible. One time, I was sent a few verses from the Bible and I was confused, and because they have axaggerated the word I thought it was another language, so I don't have much interest in it. She is right. It would be good to standardize the language, but it shouldn't be so difficult.
