On Deck with Throp

How Jamaica Became Her Home


Listen Later

In this episode, I spoke with Lucinda Kay, a good friend of mine. She is the communications director for Great Shape Inc, an American non-profit organization that oversees some of the world's largest international humanitarian projects. We've worked together on numerous philanthropic projects over the years, and it was an honour to have her on the show.

Our conversation covered several topics, including why she and her family chose Negril, her visits to the island as a teenager and how Hurricane Gilbert created a ripple effect that has since impacted so many lives over the years. We also discussed a few of Great Shape's projects, some of which were carried out in partnership with the Sandals Foundation and my family's non-profit, Negril Education Environment Trust. We wrapped up our conversation by stating what we're looking forward to in terms of philanthropy.

Please enjoy my conversation with Lucinda.
