Jambassadors

Jamaican expats who are “positive representatives” for their country.

The Jamaican government’s information service reported recently on a forum, held in New York, aimed at encouraging investment in the Jamaican economy:

The forum included an extended question and answer session, where participants sought clarification on a variety of issues that could inform their decision to invest.

One questioner coined the term “Jambassadors” to describe Jamaicans in the Diaspora, who are positive representatives for their homeland and Minister Bartlett [Jamaica's Minister of Tourism], noting his liking for the term, said he will borrow it for future use.
