🇯🇲 Hurricane Melissa –Stand Firm Jamaica 🇯🇲 | #viral #melissa  |viral Song of Hope| Charles K Xavier

As you know if you've been following me, I was in Jamaica up until the beginning of October. 

I felt grounded and at home. 

This image is eerie

It's really devastating to see over one third of the island and such a state. please do whatever you can to help.

 Donate to whatever charity or cause makes you comfortable. No amount is too small and small amounts add up very quickly to generate big results.

Digital Storyteller | Storytelling Marketing + Video for founders who think they hate content | Building brands between school runs and story time |Jamaica-made, 3 kids under 5 screaming behind me

USD $7 billion.
That’s 30% of Jamaica’s GDP.
Imagine the U.S. losing $8 trillion overnight.
That’s the scale we’re talking about.

I know everyone’s posting “Jamaica Strong” today, but strength has a price tag.

In two days, Hurricane Melissa didn’t just destroy homes, it reset an economy.
The west is still in crisis.
Entire communities in St. James, Hanover, and Westmoreland are unrecognizable.

The difference this time?
The damage isn’t abstract. It’s measurable and massive.

In Montego Bay:
→ Tourism corridors are offline.
→ Thousands of hotel workers are without income.
→ Farmers who supply those hotels have lost entire harvests.

In St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland and Trelawny:
→ Roads collapsed.
→ Livelihoods disappeared.
→ Recovery feels distant.

And in Kingston?
→ Power’s back.
→ Businesses are reopening.
→ But the cost of rebuilding will last for generations.

Let that sink in.

$7 billion gone in 48 hours.
That’s schools, bridges, businesses, farms, and futures.

Some numbers worth remembering:
→ The Caribbean emits less than 1% of global greenhouse gases.
→ Yet, climate events cost the region up to 8% of GDP every year.
→ For small nations, that means rebuilding while still paying for the last storm.

Here’s the truth:
When countries that pollute the least pay the highest price,
When resilience becomes our only export,
When “bouncing back” is treated like destiny instead of consequence

Something is deeply wrong.

But even in ruin, the stories remain the same.
A mother sweeping mud from her living room.
A child laughing in the rain.
A farmer replanting, because hope doesn’t need electricity.

That’s not charity.
That’s identity.
That’s endurance.

The real question isn’t how strong Jamaica is.
It’s how long small nations are expected to carry the weight of global negligence alone.

📝 A Personal Note: Recovery from Hurricane Melissa will require a team effort by Jamaicans at home and abroad with support from friends of Jamaica 🇯🇲  

I was in Jamaica at the end of September and beginning of October. It was wonderful to be home. I felt grounded. I left feeling refreshed and determined to find a way to spend more time there. That's why, when Hurricane Melissa struck, it was devastating. 

Fortunately, my relatives in Jamaica and Cuba are safe but Hurricane Melissa displaced many individuals and Families in southwest Jamaica.  The storm destroyed homes, wiped out farms on prime agricultural land, uprooted trees, plowed roads under, demolished historical sites, and toppled hydro and telephone towers.

Rebuilding will be a daunting task. There are many ways to contribute based on our individual talents, skills, and finances.

It has been heartwarming to see the many individuals, organizations, and countries who have been pouring out support for Jamaica at this time of need. Thank you.

I'm pleased to share an initiative spearheaded by Jamaican-born Hollywood stuntman and award-winning filmmaker Roy T. Anderson. I've showcased his work before.

Two days before the storm made landfall, Roy was in St Elizabeth for his brother's funeral. The parish became Ground Zero for Hurricane Melissa's devastation. He was still in Jamaica when Hurricane Melissa struck.
 
He returned to New Jersey on Monday night but he is flying back to Jamaica in the morning to contribute to the relief effort.

Roy and other Jamaican film and TV professionals are using their skills and resources to make a difference. Through "Let's Rebuild Jamaica Strong", they are delivering tangible aid to families and individuals in remote communities. 

Their focus is on providing meals and other desperately needed supplies. They have teamed up with a group of trades professionals who are donating their skills, time, and tools to repair and rebuild homes.

The team will document in a documentary series entitled "In the Eye Of the Storm: Jamaica Rebuilds", their work and the contributions of the many organizations who are working on the ground to assist in the recovery. 

Like Spike Lee's "When the Levees Broke", it will capture the resilience and determination of people recovering from disaster.

You're invited to contribute to the GoFundMe that the team has set up to supplement their resources and extend their reach to help more people.

No contribution is too small. Even small amounts add up very quickly if enough people participate.

The Big “Branding” Lie

One of the problems with the branding industry is that it's full of people who have no real experience building brands. It's so easy these days to snap cute photos, pick a color scheme, come up with a catchy slogan, and think they have a brand. 

How To Know If Someone Is A True Branding Professional: Ask them to name the brands they work with...

Today's branding coaches and companies do little more than provide unproven theoretical  information on how to look good. 

This is not what real branding is. Jeff and Branded Media will actually build your brand for you: Strategic growth with proven strategy, traffic systems, copy, content machines, design, and nationwide PR.

Certified AI Consultant: Driving 10x Productivity for Leaders with AI and Remote Teams 🤖👩‍💻

Have a thriving business and can't seem to keep up?

I supercharge high-performers with Virtual Assistants & Artificial Intelligence so that they can get more done every day -- and still have time for themselves!

Because in a time where everyone is overworked and burning themselves out, people often wonder how highly productive people still get things done…

(HINT: It’s not by doing everything themselves)

And if you’re like most business owners, you’re probably working anywhere from 50-75 hours a week…while STILL finding yourself behind on emails and endless tasks that you hate.

Instead, why not refocus your attention to working ON your business instead of IN it?

Because let’s face it, you could accomplish more if you weren’t busy being your own secretary and social media manager...

You could be spending more time with your family…

Or you could be spending more time focusing on work you truly enjoy doing…

Whatever it is, you can better utilize your time by handing over the stuff that you don’t want to do… to a reliable AI-Powered Executive Assistant that actually loves to do it.

At VA Staffer, we’ve finally harnessed the true potential of Executive Assistants and Artificial Intelligence - with over 250+ concurrent leaders we serve all over the world.

We’ve figured out what methods and strategies work best for high-performing leaders like you, and it’s become a seamless process to give people a renewed sense of time and freedom.

So if you find yourself working alone, buried in the day-to-day of your business…

Or if you aren’t fully utilizing A.I. or the systems that you’ve already put in place…

Why not increase the time you spend on moving the money needle while your virtual assistant handles the rest (email marketing, social media management, lead generation, etc.)?

You might feel a bit guilty at first - handing over the work you’re used to doing yourself, but remember…

The secret of highly productive people is that they don’t do everything themselves.

So think carefully about how you spend your most valuable asset… your time…

Because if you find yourself drowning in work and feel like you can’t keep up, then it’s time to start removing the biggest roadblock in your business.

Yourself.

To Freedom,

Honestly, I'm just so honored to call these guys friends.

These two Marge Aviso and Jay-Cee Tan are some of the most hard working, loving and caring people I know.

Funny story, it started out that they were my students...

Next thing you know, they invite me to speak at their events for Filipino Work-From-Home Virtual Assistants...

But they didn't like what I said... Neither did the audience...

I said "AI is KILLING Virtual Assistant jobs completely"

The look on their faces when I said this was wild.

But afterwards, they told me, "ok Ninong, what's next".

There is hope .. you must be an AI powered assistant to your clients.

You MUST know how to do marketing.

You MUST know how to be INCOME generating.

GONE are the days of checking emails & managing calendar appointments.

Call center jobs? They'll be gone soon, AI does it better.

Now you have the ability to do SO MUCH MORE.

So I want to propose something....

An asset I've been holding for 10 years I've asked the two of them to team up with me and Jacklyn to do something.

To create a FREE training program to teach how to use AI.

I am creating a program with Barangay Ginebra ex-Team Captain Jared Dillinger called "AI & the Future of Work"

This will help you understand the basics of AI as a Filipino and how to help you have more job security.

Also Jared is 

Calling volunteers for TASK FORCE: UWAN 🚨

Jared and I are putting together an Emergency & Relief Operations VOLUNTEER GROUP on Telegram. 

This is a community-led effort working directly with the Civil Relations Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines to coordinate aid and support for our kababayans in need.

Our goal is to:
➡️ Gather critical updates
➡️ Coordinate aid
➡️ Connect those in need with those who can help
[Project A.E.R.I.S., or Autonomous Emergency Response Intel System, is an AI Agent stack built to coordinate support for Filipinos during natural emergencies like Typhoon UWAN.]

I'm also honored to see the work that Amira Alawi and her family are doing on the group for relief.

I want to acknowledge her for her work and her generosity, she's become such a great friend of mine over the years.

It's very important to keep good people around you, ones that share the vision compassion and love for mankind.

This CANNOT be done alone.

I'm grateful for the powerful and generous network of people who care for my friends in the Philippines.

AI Certified Consultant: Growth Hacking with AI and Remote Teams 🤖👩‍💻

They say God never gives you more than you can handle.
God must really know the strength of the Filipino.

Severe Tropical Storm Fung-Wong is heading for the Philippines, expected to reach SUPER TYPHOON strength by Sunday.

The Philippines just survived:
→ 7.2 earthquake in Cebu
→ 7.6 earthquake in Davao
→ Super Typhoon Tino

And now? Another super typhoon, Fung-Wong. Expected to hit 16 provinces in Luzon with heavy rain and flooding starting Saturday.

How much can one country take?

My team is STILL recovering from the last typhoon. Jacky is STILL working from a temporary Wi-Fi station. People are STILL in tents because their houses crumbled. Families are STILL rebuilding.

And now they have to prepare for another one.

This isn’t just another storm. It’s potentially SUPER TYPHOON strength. The same people who survived two earthquakes and a super typhoon are about to face another one, less than a week later.

This is exhausting to watch. I can’t imagine living through it. To constantly be in survival mode. To rebuild, only to have it destroyed again.

But you know what? They will survive this too. Because that's what Filipinos do. They survive. They rebuild. They help each other. They keep going. Even when it seems impossible.

And honestly? Their strength is unmatched.

Most Americans couldn't handle ONE of these disasters. Let alone four in a month. But Filipinos? They're already preparing, securing what they can, and checking on neighbors.

Because they have no choice. When disaster is a regular part of life, you either break or become unbreakable. Filipinos chose unbreakable.

This is why I'm pushing for emergency Wi-Fi/power stations. This won’t be the last disaster. It might not even be the last one THIS MONTH.

The Philippines needs infrastructure that can withstand this. Systems that can be deployed immediately. Solutions that actually help.

Here’s what we’re doing:

Monitoring the storm closely

Checking in with all team members

Making sure everyone has evacuation plans

Preparing to activate emergency protocols

Getting ready to help however we can

To my team in the Philippines: Please stay safe. Secure everything. Have an evacuation plan. We’re monitoring from here and will help as soon as it’s safe.

To everyone else: If you’ve been thinking about helping, now is the time. Constant disasters, constant recovery. They need support, infrastructure, and real solutions.

This emergency Wi-Fi/power station project is urgent. It’s the difference between being cut off and being able to call for help.

God knows the strength of the Filipino. So do I. They're the strongest people I know. But even the strongest need support.

PS: Super Typhoon Fung-Wong expected Sunday. This is the FOURTH major disaster in less than a month. If you ever wondered what resilience looks like, watch the Philippines.

PSS: I'm working to buy 4 Starlink Satellites 📡, 4 big batteries, and 4 solar panels for emergency Wi-Fi. If you'd like to pitch in, let me know!

“So tired of calling the Filipinos resilient like it’s a freaking compliment.”

A Filipina named Ruth said this on my last post. 😭

And I had to pause. Because I’m the one who called them resilient. I meant it as a compliment. But I understand why someone living through it wouldn’t see it that way.

Super Typhoon Uwan (Fung Wong) is coming. On top of two earthquakes in the past month. Four major disasters in less than 30 days.

When I say resilient, I see people survive, rebuild, and keep going. To me, that’s remarkable.

But when you’re the one rebuilding for the fourth time this month, “resilient” starts to feel like “you can handle more.” It feels exhausting.

Especially when help never comes.

Remember the flood control scandal?
Billions meant for infrastructure, stolen.
When the floods came, nothing was there to stop them.

So when people praise resilience, it can sound like acceptance.
Like “you’ll bounce back again” instead of “why wasn’t help delivered?”

They’re not tired of surviving. They’re tired of being left to survive alone.

Since 2014, I’ve built a 100+ person team in the Philippines. I’ve watched them face typhoons, earthquakes, and floods year after year.

Many live in simple homes made from wood or hollow blocks, structures that can’t withstand storms. Imagine rebuilding every year while money meant to protect you sits in a politician’s account.

The help never came. And then people like me call them resilient.

I understand why that’s exhausting.

They don’t want to be resilient anymore. They want infrastructure, honest leadership, and one year without rebuilding everything.

When I say resilient, I admire their strength. But it can sound like acceptance, like we’ve given up on fixing what causes their pain.

Filipinos are incredibly strong. I’ve never seen people rebuild faster or help each other more. That’s admirable.

But admiration doesn’t rebuild homes. Compliments don’t prevent disasters. Calling people resilient doesn’t give them the flood control they were promised.

They shouldn’t have to be this resilient, this often, because of corruption. They’ve earned a break and the infrastructure they were promised.

That’s why I’m building emergency Wi-Fi and power stations, raising funds, and delivering supplies myself. I refuse to rely on a system that keeps failing them.

Recognizing resilience is one thing. Using it as an excuse not to help, or to steal relief funds, is wrong.

To those tired of hearing it, I hear you. You shouldn’t have to keep proving your strength.

To everyone else, don’t let “resilience” become an excuse to accept corruption. Filipinos are resilient, but they shouldn’t have to be.

They were promised protection. They deserve it.

PS: I called them resilient because I admire how they keep going after being failed repeatedly. But what they need isn’t praise, it’s the infrastructure they were promised.

PSS: The flood control scandal is why Filipinos told me not to send relief through the government.
