From America to Jamaica | A Black Empowerment Voice

Ayanna Gregory is the daughter of the late great civil rights leader Dick Gregory. In recent years, she has called Jamaica her home away from home. The Gregory’s have done so much for the rights of African Americans and I find it so interesting they have a special bond with Jamaica, specifically Negril. It was an honor to sit-down with Ayanna to learn about her history and experience during the civil rights movement of her fathers generation as well as her involvement in this current generation's movement. We also speak about her direct affiliation with Jamaica and her goal of one day owning property in here.

Mr. Winston Wellington has changed lives near and far. For each life he touches personally such as hers, the impact ripples 10,000 fold. Bless him. Great video Throp. Keep doing your Thang Ayanna.

Thank you so much!

Very well spoken and intelligent sister. Black people all over the world NEED to unite. If we are to RISE as a people we MUST UNITE.

[@Throp]

Absolutely!

*Throp* your quality of guests are increasing on a weekly basis, which makes the anticipation even more worthwhile. *Dick Gregory* was an icon for civil rights through comedic satire and protests. To find out that his daughter is on the island, further reinforce my love and appreciation for our beautiful island, that inspite of the craziness we are truly loved. I have long believed that *Jamaica* should've been the black mecca between the main land *USA🇺🇸* and *Africa* where black people should make the journey and relocation. Our long history of having revolutionary fighters like *Marcus Garvey* and *Bob Marley* should've put our culture at the forefront of the struggle for unification..... Bless up *Throp* we appreciate you sir 🙏

Thank you so much!

I'm fighting for my rightful transition to the lands of my forefathers... that I may excel and train and study and work.

[@anthonymccauley9101]

Totally enjoyed this interview. I am in my 60s, Jamaican parentage born in UK. Growing up in UK I remember Dick Gregory as being one of the only positive images of Black people that we saw, because he had an International profile which transcended his influence in the USA, and of course seeing from afar the Civil Rights movements and his involvement . They say the apple does not fall far from the tree, and it is so good to see his daughter following in his footsteps. It has been 47 years since I last came to Jamaica, for various reasons I have wanted to come several times and couldn't due to other obligations. Most of those in my parents generation have now passed on so I have very few close relatives in Jamaica at this time. Travelers seems to be a special place, and I am very much hoping that I can come next year...now that we seem to be for now heading out of the worst rigors of Covid, and things beginning to look like some kind of normal. I have watched several of your Interviews, loved the one with the African-American retiree, and related to her on so many levels because I am almost at that stage myself. Sir you are are great Interviewer, you are a good listener and observer, I am quite sure that if it had been your desire and had you stayed in the USA you would have had a successful career in Broadcasting. Very much looking forward to returning to Jamaica, and staying at your resort. Thank you again.
