  1. Hi there!

    It is so sad to say FAREWELL MIRIAM….

    She was such a remarkable woman…

    She will never be forgotten….and there will never be another like her… there will never be another who can imitate her…

    She will live on and on and on with her greatness…

    Thank you for honoring her.

    Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!

  2. I watched a documentary on Miriam and it was fabulous. Her mark on South Africa will live on forever. In Jamaica, we have someone like her who has the same kind of stature. Her name is Louise Bennett. Where are the mothers of nations? We desperately need to bring them to the fore.
