Never deny who you are

Dear Editor,

I share in the jubilation of Tessanne's victory on The Voice. She is of impeccable talent. I'm beyond happy for her.

She made us all so proud, not just Jamaicans, but other nationalities outside of the US.

One of the things that annoy me the most is that some of us, as Jamaicans, oftentimes get confused as to who we are, or who we should be as a nation.

The thing is, when one experiences victory the shout is "I'm proud to be a Jamaican!" But when it's defeat, do we still have the same vigour?

Even though things might seem stagnant in our country right now and are not working out as we hoped, we should still be proud Jamaicans.

Victory or defeat. Never deny who you are.
