A Call for Respect to Reggae Dancehall and Its Offshoot: Stop Raping Our Culture By Fabian Stennett Reggae and dancehall are not just genres—they are lifeblood, spiritual inheritance, and the voice of a people. Born from the struggles and resilience of Jamaica, these sounds have echoed across the globe, inspiring movements, igniting revolutions, and influencing countless other musical forms. But in recent years, a troubling pattern has emerged: cultural exploitation disguised as appreciation. Stop raping our culture. Too often, outsiders cherry-pick the aesthetics, slang, rhythm, and vibe of reggae and dancehall without understanding—or respecting—the deep cultural roots they come from. They mimic the style, wear the flag, and copy the lingo, while erasing the context, the history, and the voices that birthed it. This isn't cultural exchange. This is cultural theft. When dancehall is reduced to TikTok dances and reggae to background music for beach ads, we lose something sacred. Wh...

Open Letter to the Minister of National Security, Dr. Horace Chang, and the Government of Jamaica From: Fabian Stennett Chief of Furry Town Maroons Defender of Native, Indigenous, and Grassroots Jamaicans Date: September 18, 2025 --- Subject: Unequal Treatment in the Granting of Jamaican Citizenship – A Case of Injustice Against a Native Daughter of the Soil Honourable Dr. Horace Chang Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Security, I write on behalf of a native daughter of Jamaica, Marcia Ibiere Tracy Cunningham, whose story reflects the unjust and deeply troubling treatment faced by many grassroots Jamaicans under our current citizenship system.

She first attended Ms. Cunningham Primary School, founded by her...

--- The Hidden Costs of Central Bank Digital Currencies in a Cashless Society A Critical Look at the Bank of Jamaica’s Digital Currency By Fabian Stennett --- Imagine a Jamaica where every financial transaction—from a taxi fare in Kingston to a grocery bill in Clarendon—is processed, tracked, and stored digitally. Physical cash? Gone. In its place, a state-issued Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), fully controlled by the Bank of Jamaica. This vision is not science fiction. It's a very real policy direction, one that promises efficiency, transparency, and financial inclusion. But beneath these promises lie serious risks—especially if we eliminate cash entirely and allow a single authority to control the nation’s digital money. This article examines those hidden costs and offers a clear warning: without proper safeguards, a fully cashless, centrally controlled digital currency system could do more harm than good. --- What Is a CBDC? A Central Bank Digital Currency is a digital ver...

--- “Where Is Your Compassion?” — A Cry from the Margins By Fabian Stennett They mocked me when I was ill. Not with concern or quiet presence, but with laughter sharpened like knives, cutting through my weakness like it was a joke. I lay in pain — real, raw, relentless — and they jeered. They made my suffering a punchline, my body a battlefield they didn’t bother to understand. And when I looked for empathy, I found only performance and conditions. They called my path a complication. Laughed at my dreadlocks — called them dirty, rebellious, unwanted. But these locks are not fashion. They are covenant. They are roots. They are thunder rolled into strands. Each coil carries the names of my ancestors, the prayers of Marley, the wisdom of Selassie, the revolution of silence that refused to bow. Still, they told me: “Cut your hair, trim your locks, then maybe we’ll help you.” But where is your compassion when it must be bought with my obedience? Must I shear away my spirit just to earn your...

The Stennett Manifesto: A Declaration of Authentic Living I, Fabian Stennett, declare that I will no longer participate in the charades of superficiality. This manifesto is not for the faint-hearted nor the weak-minded. It is for those who are willing to live boldly, speak truthfully, and reject the distractions that plague our modern world. I stand as a symbol of what it means to be unapologetically real, a man who understands that charm is not about tricks or empty words, but about the strength of conviction and the depth of one’s soul.  I am Tarzan, I am James Bond, I am Conan—fierce, fearless, and unapologetically me . But above all, I am someone who values  soul  over superficiality. 1.  The Power of Authenticity I believe in being  authentically myself —always. I reject the fake smiles, the Instagram filters, and the masquerades of "perfection" that society expects. My value comes not from how I look, but from the  truth I carry . My words have weight...

Ever Bless Pum Pum: A Tribute to the Sacred Energy of Women By Fabian Stennett, The Pum Pum Prophet In a world where people too often take the energy of women for granted, it’s essential to pause and recognize the power that flows from the divine feminine. Through the eyes of Fabian Stennett , known in certain circles as the Pum Pum Prophet , the phrase "Ever Bless Pum Pum" becomes not just a casual term of admiration, but a deeply spiritual anthem. It is an ode to the sacred, transformative force that women embody—a power that gives life, elevates, and inspires. The Sacred Energy of the Pum Pum When Fabian Stennett speaks of the "ever bless pum pum," it’s more than just a celebration of womanhood. It’s a recognition of the deep, life-sustaining energy that women possess. In Jamaican Patois, the term “pum pum” refers to the female reproductive system, but for the Pum Pum Prophet, it represents much more. It is the spiritual and physical wellspring of all life...
