This is the most enjoyable interview I have seen. Coming from MoBay, either you or your parents must be familiar with Dr. Upton Robotham. This interview was very informative, fascinating and extremely humorous. Thank you. One question I would have like to hear is what is the typical route to get there from Jamaican.
Loved her personality, very pleasant!! 😊🇯🇲

This jamaican is a riot. Where did you find her ? You need to bring her back!
Keneice. I enjoyed this interview. ☺. You are such an intelligent lady. As a fellow Jamaican I am so proud of you. Mr. Murphy. Another excellent interview.👌Thanks for sharing. Blessings and guidance always 🙏✨🙌. Stay safe 😷👍👍
This girl should be on tv! Or on stage. She is sooooo entertaining!
This is one of the best interviews I have seen. As someone born and breed in the U.K. but who’s family ancestry is Jamaican, it’s really lovely to hear that fantastic wonderful accent. I don’t have that may Jamaica relatives anymore. We are all now 3rd or 4th generation British.. keep the good work up. This lady was great. Thank you 🙏😁

I do enjoy and share these great interviews. This one was spot on. Please continue the good work. Blessings from home😊👌
I am surprised that the interviewee , a graduate of Manchester High did not know where French Guiana is located. In Jamaica I was taught that South America was roughly divided into two by Spain and Portugal, the leaders in exploration in the 15th century. The Spanish half divided into factions such as Peru, Ecuador, Uraquay etc. The Portuguese half held together as Brazil. Later other Europeans countries joined the exploration race. The English, French and the Dutch snapped up parts of Brazil which was harder to protect. From that we now have ( British Guiana) 🇬🇾 Guyana, French Guiana, an overseas territory of France, and (Dutch Guiana) Surinam. The Ameridians did not die out and the Brazilians are the largest and now increasingly influential country in South America. We must learn about the New World of the Americas of which Jamaica is apart . I would ask if she ever visited Guyana and/or the Amazon area.

Is 🇯🇲 Jamaica not teaching that there are three Guianas and that (British Guiana) 🇬🇾 Guyana is culturally part of the British West Indies?? I remember, in the 1960s and 1970s, the men appreciating and the women loving the Guyanese cricketers Lance Gibbs and Rohan Kanhai. There are quite a few Jamaican men with the name "Rohan".

Xavier when ever you interviewed the people who are living in different countries you should ask them about crimes in the country they move

This was a lovely interview. Keneice has such a colourful, vibrant personality…my gurl is full of liffff, genuine, bold, joyful, she’s a whole vibe!!! Beautiful Montegonian/Mandevillian sistah!!!

Another Great Interview
French Guyana formerly( Guiana) was formerly known as CAYENNE The European. FRENCH space launch pad for the ARIANNE ROCKET PROJECT IS IN THE JUNGLE OF CAYENNE aka French Guyana and is really in the Amazon Jungle hence the sweltering heat/ humidity. I'm sure we all have heard of the spice called CAYENNE PEPPER. That's the country it is named after.During slavery after the slaves were whipped raw the women would use it as a salve so that the wounds would heal without leaving scars and Keloids on the backs of their men.
Love her energy!
Must be wonderful to enjoy meals from all the cultures in this country! Love, love, love this interview. 💛🙏🏾✨✨✨✨✨
Lovely young lady, such a bubbly personality. I really enjoyed this interview.

Another interesting interview. Thanks! Patois is way easier to speak than read and written. Try to melt the cheese you mentioned, you will spend 1000 years trying and it will never melt. The word “industrial” is a most interesting word!
Good Interview
Another great personality. Mi love har
I lived in Jam for many years and I came from a country where Carnaval is rooted in long tradition and there is a lot of meaning to certain costumes and dances etc....While I respect the Jam style Carnaval, I had difficulty appreciating it...Love Jamaica though!
She's very informative. And those people need to try breadfruit. I might need to go there and get some bresshe.I could eat some now.
I thoroughly enjoyed Keneice and hearing about her experience living in French Guiana.
Maroon's pride!!!!!!! I had the privilege of growing up near the factory and getting the chips hot straight from the fryer. Awesome
Lovely. I had a bellygul of laughter 🤣. She is so real and humorous
Keniece gave a very pleasant and animated interview. She has a very nice, happy personality. She enjoys her blessings and sees the good in her daily experiences.
Keneice is very intelligent and witty…lover her interview👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dis is meh favorite one suh far!!!! I LAFF MY HEART OUT . THANK YOU. I love this lady's whole vibe. I am a Guyanese living in Brasil and when you spoke about talking to de tree dem, I remembered growing up and we had a papaw treee that would not bear any fruit for years, my mummy told it one day that she would cut it down if it didnt produce and that tree had fruit on it in LESS THAN A MONTH!!!! I will never forget that, just a few little fruits and it never produced more after those....lol Anyways, thanks again for these, I am binge watching and loving every bit ..... Blessings.
A very interesting interview. I was able to watch the whole video. The TAPIF programme has enables many Jmaicans to live her experience, not necessarily in French Guiana but I am pleased she enjoyed it. Mo ka pati = I am leaving
Great interview, lots of great information if we consider traveling there. She really knows a lot about the culture their. Love love her enthusiasm and spirit. One of the you best....interview
Interstingly the movie "Papillion" was filmed in Falmouth Jamaica, instead of French Guyana...
Keneice provided one of the best insights from a Jamaican perspective. She's articulate, charismatic, and obviously and educator. (Me too, so I'm biased.)
Fearless!! Girl give me some.
enjoyable thank u
I enjoyed her interview....interesting
Wonderful spirits Xavier and Keneice. Be courageous people you cant get anywhere if you dont at least try. Nothing wrong with failure if it dont kill yu it mek yu stronger👊
The carnival sounds ritualistic with the men dressed as women and visa versa
Check out Sao Luis [Brazil] they listen/dance to reggae music ONLY, they does not listen to any other music reggae music but reggae,, it quite incredible.
Keniece was a joy to watch, She would do well as an interviewer 🙏🏽
What a beautiful and jovial lady. Thanks for the wealth of information.
Oh wow looking good Keneice
