Teach Your Child Self-Belief With New “The Proud Little Dutty Jancrow” Book

Posted on March 31, 2025April 6, 2025 by swadedavillain

In a time where dreams are broken, anxiety runs rampant, and the belief system is in a downward direction, there needs to be things and people who help to encourage, uplift, and bring the best out of us. This is even more important for the children as there aren’t always avenues for them to express themselves, and be accepted for who they are. Content Creator/Founder of Epic Flows Production Ramon Nichols believes that everyone is special in their own way, and should embrace themselves and the gifts they possess. He uses his new book, “The Proud Little Dutty Jancrow” as a tool for inspiration.

“The Proud Little Dutty Jancrow” is Ramon Nichols’ entry into the world of Children’s books, and with it he spreads the message of self-belief, self-acceptance, and build a child’s self-esteem. The story features Jody, a young John Crow/Turkey Vulture who is on a journey of discovering her personality, building her confidence, and accepting who she is in the world despite what people may say. The John Crow/Jancrow is often met with displeasure by some given its nature and is often used a term to negatively describe people in Jamaica, but the bird itself is just a bird like others, and accepts itself for what it is. The new book enforces similar messages through a great story for the youth who are facing stumps in their journey. The book also features a number of activities that encourage a child’s development to be done with family and friends, and even includes a soundtrack filled with positive music.

For the parents who are looking for solid literature and positive content for their growing children, grab a copy of Ramon Nichols’ “The Proud Little Dutty Jancrow” on Amazon, and on Lulu Books. For more information, visit littleduttyjancrow.com.

The DJ world is one that has a new member every few minutes a day. From mixing their favourite songs to rocking crowds of all capacities, the DJ is an important figure in music. Jamaican DJ/Producer Xavier “CodeLank” Brown has been in the business for many years, and as a part of the Code Red Sound, he has given people unforgettable memories by playing their favourite songs, won over the competition in clash events, and provided some well-needed energy at various events. Now, he wants to help aspiring and emerging DJs to become greats in their own arenas with the help of his new book, “Cue Points: The Secret DJ Playbook“.

Released in late 2024, CodeLank aims to give the budding DJ tips, tricks, and solid advice on the ways of a well-rounded and professional DJ with his “Cue Points: The Secret DJ Playbook”. No matter the level, there is something for everyone. From building quality Playlists, to advanced DJing techniques, to building a presence on and offline, CodeLank covers plenty with his new book. The DJ community has grown significantly in Jamaica over the years, and many would benefit greatly from this, and be able to truly create their own lanes in no time. CodeLank has reached the level of Veteran, and it’s a good initiative where he uses his platform to help others who wish to make a difference, and become an established member of the DJ community. “Cue Points: The Secret DJ Playbook” is available for purchase on Amazon and Bookshop in physical and digital forms.

Susan Smith Provides Uplifting Messages With Children’s Book Series

Posted on September 18, 2023September 26, 2023 by swadedavillain

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.
