It was all she could think about, she was excited - probably a little too much. To be honest, it wasn’t every day that she was invited to hang out with her friends. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Jenise Reece is a 20-year-old living with mild cerebral palsy and in her eyes, she is one of an unknown number of Jamaicans who are treated differently because of having a disability. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>CP as her condition is often called, is defined by the <em>Cerebral Palsy Organization of Jamaica</em> as any one of several neurological disorders that appears in a person’s infancy or early childhood. It permanently affects body movement and muscle coordination but doesn’t get worse over time. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>CP is a physical condition, caused when there is abnormal development of the brain. This abnormal development then affects the motor area of the brain that directs muscle movement.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Yet, despite having CP,  Reece tries to live a normal life.&nbsp; Just like any other child, Reece attended Primary and Secondary Schools. She has never thought of herself as being different and as such, she decided to pursue a degree in Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC); and now, in her second year at The University of the West Indies, Reece is still defying the odds.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>After a little drive from Portmore, where Reece lives, she arrived in Half Way Tree. However, there was now a slight problem. The student buses she took during the school year were unavailable. This only meant one thing - she would have to do the one thing she hated doing the most. She would have to take a taxi. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The thought of that made her so anxious and the thought of the outcome made her worry. For Reece and many other’s with Cerebral Palsy, there are side effects such as one-foot lagging behind the other, lack of muscle coordination, anxiety and crossed eyes. The first made it difficult for Reece to sit in or get out of a car and what often heightened the pressure was the impatience of the taxi drivers. Today was different though because this time she had gotten into the taxi without a fuss.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>She was relieved, no excited, or maybe a mixture of both. Everything was going right. Nothing could spoil the day. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The drive to the University’s back gate was not a long one and when she arrived all she could think about was how she would safely get out of the taxi.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>She was seated at the extreme left of the car and could get out through that door. That seemed like the safer option but there was another problem. Her left side was her weaker side and if she proceeded to use that side it would have been a long and painful exit. So, right door it was. The right door was towards the road, making this a very bad idea. However, she took a deep breath and without further thinking, she opened.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>What happened next was scary, humiliating and very sad.

His words were like a sword, cutting deep. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Seconds later she was shouting back at him. He threw expletives at her, forcing tears to well up in her eyes.

Like seriously?</li><li>Do not be presumptuous and flop yourself down in the front row. Common sense should dictate that the seats at the front are for immediate family only.</li><li> If the deceased owed you money, suck it up. Do not start lamenting to his or her mother how you never got your partner draw. Tacky much?</li><li>Under no circumstance do you arrive late and demand that the pastor re-opens the casket.&nbsp; If you already forgot what the person looked like, look at the cover of the programme.</li><li>Selfie taking in the church is bad enough but when you ask for a selfie with the body, you are pushing it. Pray that the duppy doesn’t slap you for disturbing their peace.</li><li>Your cell phone should be off or on vibrate in the place of reverence so at no time should Dexta Daps or Alkaline ring tone disturb the scripture reading.</li><li>When the gathering makes their way to the home of the deceased, do not start asking for clothes, shoes and other personal effects of the dead. That is beyond insensitive.</li><li>Death resulting from an illness can be devastating so do not be fake and tell the family “Oh I know how you feel”…no you don’t! You ever had cancer?</li><li>Avoid telling their family members meaningless platitudes like ‘he/she is in a better place’, ‘in time you’ll get over it” or ‘the Lord knows best”. Nobody wants to hear any of that.</li><li>If the death was particularly tragic or suspicious do not turn up fishing for salacious gossip like a news reporter. Have some consideration for the bereaved.</li><li>Finally, if you and the deceased were not friends, avoid the fake tears.

There are women out there who, when a man gets home, have him drop his trousers and literally cup and weigh his balls to see if they feel ‘lighter’. A ‘light’ testicle is said to be an indication that some illicit sexual activity took place.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>The Deodorant</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While some older men are used to having young ‘arm candy’ with them when they go to events, no rational man wants a female who is glued to his sid,e every step he makes.

In plain English, she has slept with one or more of his friends in the past. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Granted it was before they ever met or dated, so it is not cheating, but most men will not be comfortable knowing that their friends know exactly how she moans in bed or where on her upper thigh her mole is.

Throughout the different phases of his career (so far), he has connected with Jamaican and international audiences on many levels. Using my novice-level skill of analysis, I deduced three major phases of Jamar McNaughton, the rebel who would not follow anyone with their pants below waist level or bleached faces. The second phase was the declaration of the ‘Dread and Terrible’, the staunch defence against those who would dare to suppress the ‘Alpha And Omega’ while living on ‘Capture Land’— an irony that had every Rasta man proclaiming ‘Here Comes Trouble’.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:quote -->\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\"Can the living be compared to the dead, especially when both lived in different periods?\" </p></blockquote>\n<!-- /wp:quote -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This then brings us to what I am in favour of calling the current era of his reign.

He has also left a vast catalogue of music that many of us still enjoy, and he has also received some of the highest awards internationally.
