Welcome to another episode of "On Deck with Throp," the podcast where we have meaningful conversations with people from all around the world, all about Jamaica. In this episode, we are excited to have Michelle Kenny, the founder of Diva's Take Negril, as our special guest. Michelle shares her love for the island and her passion for bringing groups of African American women to experience Jamaica's beauty and culture.

Having organized numerous trips to Negril, Michelle has not only decided to make it her future home but has also witnessed the formation of life-changing connections. Many of her group members have found love during these trips and have gotten married to local Jamaicans. Michelle also discusses the deep emotional connections she has formed through these trips, including honoring her Jamaican heritage and the memory of her late mother. Join us as we learn more about Michelle's journey and the incredible impact of the Diva group.
