“Everywhere that I have seen has reminded me of home, some way, somehow…I think we relate to each other a lot: Africans and Jamaicans, especially because this is where we’re all from in the first place,’ she said.
“A lot of stuff that we practice in Jamaica, we think it is unique to us, but it is because it comes from here,” Koffee told the newspaper.
