She found success in the Jamaica Real Estate Market

[@jessicaloisturner]

Love this feature of a young female entrepreneur making good things happen in JA. Congrats on your success Emma!

[@Throp]

She’s doing an awesome job

[@jsnmad]

For all the Jamaicans living in Jamaica. The statement made at 12:44 needs to be understood in the context that this is a woman that had capital to start her business. So, that statement is a good pitch for the audience that this channel is attending to. For those of us that understand the struggles that we go through, this statement needs to be tempered. Real Estate business is easier when you own the properties but owning properties for a Jamaican earning a Jamaican salary is not easy.

[@onajae]

I think she also missed the point of the question when he asked her if she’d experienced any resistance being a woman starting a business in Ja. I think she overlooked so many things probably because she doesn’t understand her privilege as a light-skinned American woman and the clout/capital that comes with that in a country like Jamaica. I feel like we can pretend colorism isn’t a thing there and we can pretend that being American or being perceived as American means nothing. I feel like that is also important to talk about when starting a business there. Also, she doesn’t own any of these properties. She manages them. And to be honest, this is something I’ve considered doing in Jamaica with my sister (which is neither here nor there, lol). Owning developed property/real estate in Jamaica is expensive/difficult and definitely even more difficult as a Jamaican earning Jamaican dollars in Jamaica. Thank you for seeing that and expressing it.

[@sprintcritic8639]

@@onajae I thought that Emma Watson owned thirteen properties! 😅 I was trying to figure out how she accomplished that in a short time. 😁 Nevertheless, I still admire her accomplishments regardless of her skin color. I’m African American, and when I saw the cover of this video, I thought that she was my daughter! (Her father and I are both African Americans.) It’s Emma Watson’s kind personality; her intelligence and bravery that got her thirteen properties to manage. I’m not sure how much her skin color plays a role in her success in Jamaica. However, in the United States her skin color would not play a significant role, because she is Black, and Black Americans have to be unstoppable. Emma reminds me (a lot) of Allyson Felix, and my daughter. My daughter is in medical school to become a doctor, and she has to study like other students. Her skin color didn’t help her to pass the MCAT. I want to share this with the Jamaicans. Many Americans have entrepreneurial mindsets. There are businesses everywhere in the U.S. Even foreigners have businesses in the U.S. You can’t be too fearful to start a business. You go for it. That’s why I believe Black people tend to not own businesses. If you do it right, you’ll do well. Many Americans, for centuries, have started businesses with little cash. Many Americans started businesses in their homes. Also, many Americans have college degrees. U.S. jobs that require college degrees typically pay more, and that’s a way for Americans to buy properties and to start businesses.

Love this, I do real estate investment and trying to move back home to Jamaica. Bought a townhouse in Kingston and one in st Ann completing renovation now.

[@Throp]

Nice! Really smart moves on your part. I wish you the best of luck with both those ventures

[@sprintcritic8639]

Emma Watson reminds me (a lot) of Allyson Felix (A great American Olympian sprinter). I’m just learning about Jamaica as a possible alternative to live outside of the United States. I’m perplexed about living in Jamaica because the U.S. travel advisory for Americans says don’t go there, yet Emma Watson and other Americans seem to love it. Please explain. 🇺🇸

[@Planbdesign1]

Throp, I like the video a lot & Ms. Watson's success story is truly inspiring but I feel one very important ingredient is missing, especially for those who desire similar success. We need to hear details about startup capital for such businesses. We are aware that maybe the details may be too personal. But potential business owners would love all the advice they can get when it comes to actually FUNDING their dreams. Still a nice interview though. South Coast Villas is now on MY radar. Thanks so much.
