Andrew Malcolm is the author of the new book, “Ackee For The Soul: Life Lessons from Xaymaca - Jamaica.” As a son of Kingston & St. Andrew, Jamaica, these are some of the wonderful jewels of wisdom he learned from his elders.
“Ackee For The Soul” provides a descriptive view of the rules for living used by many Jamaicans. These rules, sometimes called Proverbs, were passed along from one generation to the next. This was done through the native language Patois (or Patwa), an eclectic blend of African dialects, as well as, English, Spanish, French and Portuguese.
Whether you laugh, weigh an important decision, or think of loved ones; I know there’s a lesson for you. And I know that lesson will provide Ackee To Your Soul.

BLESS UP
