[00:00:00]And yet, despite all of this extraordinary global reach, Jamaican people still behave as though them after get validation from somewhere else, somewhere outside of Jamaica.

[00:00:14]And that contradiction, in my opinion, was kind of laid wide open for everybody to see, right?

[00:00:26]Everybody to see during the spectacle thrown in this internet personality, IShowSpeed, and his visit to Jamaica.

[00:00:35]Again, let me make it clear. The issue is not about the young man visiting Jamaica because Jamaican people, myself included, will welcome visitors every every day, 24 hours a day. Jamaica's tourism, in fact, the industry depends heavily on global attention and engagement.

[00:00:56]Nor is the issue about him being popular because in today's digital economy, follower counts translate into influence, visibility, and for the people who are on the tourist business, money.

[00:01:12]So, the issue is what Jamaicans revealed about themselves in the process. Again, follow me closely.
