Susan Smith Provides Uplifting Messages With Children’s Book Series


The new School year is upon us, and many of our little ones are leaving homes to learn in new institutions. With the schoolbooks, uniforms, backpacks, and snacks taking their places on the list, we’d like to include something extra special to inspire them outside of the classroom courtesy of Susan Smith.

Susan Smith is a Jamaican Publicist and Author who has worked with numerous Entertainers and Institutions over the years through Powerhouse Global Media, and in recent years delved into Children’s books. On a mission to promote self confidence, the appreciation of black identity, and a positive mindset from an early age, Smith released the books, “Little Black Girl“, and “Hey Black Boy“. “Little Black Girl” was released in 2022, and it features 5 year old Kyra-Rose and her mother who share a special poem, and a series of positive affirmations that empower and uplift little Black Girls who will grow up to become positive Women and role models. Smith’s follow up book “Hey Black Boy”, follows the same formula as the previous release, and features a little boy named Malik, who helps to encourage little Black Boys to be their best selves, and be more conscious, loving, and appreciative of the skin they’re in. “Hey Black Boy” was released in the early part of Summer 2023, and along with “Little Black Girl”, received heaps of praise and positive reviews. Micah Goldsmith also provided beautiful illustrations for the books.

Little Black Girl” and “Hey Black Boy” are a part of a series that Susan Smith is working on, and she looks to follow up with her 3rd release along with supplementary workbooks and journals in 2024. She has been reaching out to the public through a series of Interviews, launches, and School visits, and looks to make a greater impact with her work in other parts of the world. In a time where confidence and love are low, help to uplift the Children today with great material from Susan Smith. “Little Black Girl” and “Hey Black Boy” are now available on Amazon.

PRESS RELEASE: Oska’s Message To The Prime Minister!


With many Jamaicans awaiting the announcement for the next general elections, up and coming artiste Oska is speaking out through his new single ‘Please Prime Minister’. The single produced by 10 Star Records acts as a social commentary that pleads to the government to invest more into the music industry in particular Reggae and Dancehall music. He said “When I go to Germany and see the love I get there for my music I am so overwhelmed. I think music is a good thing and it can be a solution to a lot of the problems Jamaica is now facing”.

Oska described in his song the power of positive music and urges government to use it in campaigns to create change. He also expounds on the importance of Jamaicans embracing their musical culture and not be so concerned about the negatives often times affiliated with Dancehall but to encourage further change. In what seems to be a controversial single also has the upcoming artiste being vocal about the drop in the quality of the music produced by top producers and the hope that this will change.

Oska shared “The truth is a lot of producers have been solely concerned with just getting material out to the public because of monetary gain and not so much to create a legacy and to garner international awards and attention. As a young artiste, I would like to see more producers putting out quality music that can help break barriers for all Jamaicans”. The single on the ‘Stop Mash Up Jamaica Riddim’ has been garnering a lot of comments online and has become a strong topic with the present political unrest. The single is featured on recording artiste Marr’s mix tape ‘Rebellution’ and has been receiving air play in Germany, France, Zimbabwe and the UK.

Oska is set to commence his Jamaican media runs in December of this year. ‘Please Prime Minister’ can be heard on Soundcloud and is available for download on iTunes and Amazon.
