He’s obviously very educated. I enjoyed watching this. Nuff respect to Junior Gong and to his mom, who did a great job of raising him.

[@eileenwatt8283]

He also was influenced by his step dad who is a successful lawyer in Jamaica.

[@jeffreygibson1781]

His humility shines the work of a great mother.

[@trishnewman910]

Humility ?

The spirit of Marley, cannot allow to die. We have to keep it alive. His legacy can never die. It’s too huge and impactful. 👍🏽❤️

[@tafimutekwe2855]

Awesome. The spirit of Bob Marley must be really proud of what his offsprings are doing to his legacy.

[@caesarmyers1028]

He couldn't feel pressured because he is the most talented of them all... He is a gem and the most prolific writer of all time... This youth should live forever for every generation to see... Dispute is music... Am happy I live in the era of this person...

He is a fine young man. I love how he takes the time to come out and speak to the people. He reminds me so much of his father who we so adore and missed. I like how his mother adores him. He is blessed to share his views and bring us those beautiful music and memories of his father Bob Marley the music Legend.

[@Nonesuch55023]

Hi Damian: watched & listen to your UWI Lecture event. You handled your self very well, I was impressed with your acknowledgement of your mother's training to be respectful of others. You were asked how do you see, compare yourself to your dad, your said that was a loaded question. I understand you were not prepared for that question. You could have said I can not compare myself to Bob Marley. He is one of the most inspiring individuals to walk the earth. I'm trying to get there, but i'm very far from anything close to my dad.. This is my opinion: people like 'John Lennon share his foresight. But we don't have many of them. So, Damian lots of respect & best wishes to your Marleys' family. I'm 76 yrs. Born & grown in Jamaica. One Love. Mar. '2024.

[@BritishJamaican777]

Sorry I took so long to see this video until now. Everytime I watch something with Damian I smile and it cheers me up no matter how sad I'm feeling. Blessings to Damian

Great, to have this conversation . Marley was love and activism . Great his son is continuing in his footsteps!

[@brebre3582]

Nuff respect to the Gong Junior for giving the audience a chance to speak to him. Love the setting. Mostly love how he is not afraid to defend his beliefs openly not caring who it made uncomfortable. A quality many of us cannot embrace. Love how he refused to give negative opinions of anyone else's art or work. Bless up Junior, continue being yourself.

Hey Junior Gong everyone was born a rasta but was influenced to cut their hair or to deny it. Think I should just let u know. Not to mention what we think and do

You can tell his mother did a phenomenal job raising him. Educated, well spoken, non judge mental, thinks before he responds, loves to read. She did a great job.
