Cousin Leroy - Monday, April 20, 2026

Yo. Yo yo yo. Cousin Leroy here in the Bronx, third-floor walk-up on Burnside, kettle on, NY1 muted in the background, scrolling the Gleaner on my phone before my shift at the warehouse.

Let me tell you, things looking GOOD back home.

Holness was in New York last week. New York! He was at the Recover Better Conference at the Consulate General, talking to “diaspora investors and developers and financial professionals and community leaders from across the New York metropolitan area.”

So Holness flew to New York on Thursday to address a diaspora conference about how Jamaica is “Recovering Better” from Hurricane Melissa, and somewhere between the keynote and the question-and-answer he explained — to a room of Jamaicans living in the United States, where everyone has a bank account because they need one to function — that the reason the ROOFS Programme is moving slowly is because too many Jamaicans back home are unbanked.
