Jamaica Prime Minister Sons Name Professional Goals From
Michael Manley was sworn in on March 2, 1972, as Jamaica’s fourth Prime Minister by the Governor-General, Sir Clifford Campbell, at King’s House. "He was very clear on his professional goals from early."Mr. For that was made clear by the young, tall, dashing and confident Holness in a proposal of sorts to her while they were both students at the University of the West Indies (UWI).The prime minister of Jamaica is Jamaica's head of government, currently Andrew Holness.Holness, as leader of the governing Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), was sworn in as Prime Minister on 7 September 2020, having been re-elected as a result of the JLP's landslide victory in the 2020 Jamaican general election."I recall he told me one day on campus ‘you are going to be my wife and I intend to serve in political life, you must choose now if you are able to take on this life because serving my country is important to me’," the wife of Jamaica’s ninth and youngest prime minister told the Sunday Observer. JULIET Landell knew the moment she was approached by her high school sweetheart Andrew Holness that she would end up being a politician’s wife. The firemen, the hospitals, the President of the U.S.A., the Prime Minister of Jamaica.
Like most couples, we have had our differences, but we work through these differences, always with mutual respect and understanding."Holness has a full-time career as a trained accountant and real estate developer and has no intention of changing that. But as any good wife is — supportive, honest, loving, cherishing our time together. I like to think of myself as Andrew’s wife, whether or not he is the prime minister.
"So I told him I had none, I was hungry and wanted to buy a patty and did not even have the money to do that," she said. My friends used to say I have a beggars face."Probably the vagrants sensed that Holness was always ready to give."I find it hard not to give," she said solemnly.With excitement creeping back into her voice, Holness recalled years ago driving through Half-Way-Tree and being approached by a man who came up to her car begging for money."I genuinely did not have any," she said. "Wherever they see me they would always beg. "They would always beg her.""I was known as the ‘beggars magnet," Holness laughed.
It is a blessing to see how she has evolved throughout the years — in high school she was a former model, a scholar in university, now a wonderful wife and mother and still an outstanding friend."Hours before the interview, the Sunday Observer had e-mailed a number of questions to Holness. "From high school days, Juliet was always a caring, thoughtful and gracious young lady. She has a unique way of touching people’s lives, always willing to lend a helping hand," Dunkley said. She is fun, loving, dynamic, beautiful and brilliant inside out. "The next day I drove around and looked for the man and gave him $500.""That’s how she really is," interjected Chambers who described Holness as the kind of person depicted in Proverbs 31 which speaks to the value of a virtuous woman."Who know her knows that she is very frank, straightforward, jovial and determined," Chambers added.But it was Dunkley who best summed up Holness’s personality."Juliet embodies and epitomises Maya Angelou’s poem Phenomenal Woman.
Andrew was in politics before we got married. At UWI I served on the Guild of Post-Graduate students.A: Andrew and I grew up together, lived in the same community, attended the same high school and attended university together.Q: How does it affect your relationship — him having to now serve the entire country and forced to spend less time at home? How will this ‘less time’ impact on you and the family?A: We have always made time for family and we are not a new family to political life. My extra-curricular activities included netball, drama and 4-H Club.I graduated from the University of the West Indies with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Economics and Post-Graduate Studies — Master of Science in Accounting. At Wolmer’s I served in the Leadership Cabinet. I attended St Catherine High School and Wolmer’s Girls sixth form.
At the end of the day we want for Adam and Matthew what every Jamaican parent wants for their children — the very best. Andrew and I want to raise healthy and happy kids. To Adam and Matthew, Andrew is still Daddy.
However, his tenure in representational politics and ministerial experiences have prepared him well for the position.Andrew exhibited natural leadership qualities from very early on — a natural born leader.I found him to be a visionary, an inspirational and courageous leader and it is simply humbling and wonderful that all of this is able to come together in his role of prime minister of our great country.Q: How do you balance being a mother, a full-time career woman and a wife?A: It’s about prioritising and time management. I think the accelerated pace at which he attained the position was indeed a surprise. Andrew always wanted to serve Jamaica in a leadership capacity because there are many changes he knows he could make to ensure Jamaicans can achieve the ‘Jamaican Dream’. I believe his love of the people and the power to change their circumstances for the better have always been his motivation.
In leading a holistic life I spend 30 minutes replenishing myself by engaging in some type of exercise such as swimming, reading or walking.A: I will always work full-time. With respect to my career path from senior manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers to a real estate developer, I have managed to leverage my accounting background to bring efficiency to the management context of the projects I work on at any given time. I grew up in a strong and supportive family setting and the needs of my family come first — non-negotiable.
Research shows that an achievement gap exists as boys underperform academically compared to their female counterparts. As the mother of two boys, I am naturally attuned to the issues facing our boys/young men in Jamaica today. The name of my charity is Save Our Boys Foundation. My plans are well advanced to launch a foundation that addresses the challenges of at-risk youth — the challenge of raising resilient, successful and resourceful boys who become strong, responsible and admirable men.
I know they keep him energised and grounded.Q: Are you involved in any aspect of politics helping your husband plan his day, etc?A: We plan our days together the way most couples do — wishing to have a good and productive day at work, discussing dinner plans and sharing our expected successes and anticipated challenges. It is amazing to see him help them select a tie for an outfit or just being playful around the house or riding with them. The programme will be innovative and sustainable, including key components such as education, spirituality, community service, volunteerism, character development, grooming and deportment, national and civic pride, opportunities for leadership, mentorship, apprenticeship, and 21st century learning skills.Q: Is there anything about the PM that you think the nation does not know and that you believe they should know?A: He is a playful dad, who enjoys time with his boys. The foundation will develop and implement a comprehensive, multi-faceted intervention programme targeting ‘at-risk’ young Jamaican men between the ages of six and 12. However, it is not enough to sit on the sidelines as a passive or concerned observer of these maladies. This systemic marginalisation and the lack of role models and role model relationships lead to a dismal reality where our boys are more likely to fail in schools, enter gangs, and exhibit dysfunctional and disruptive anti-social behaviours.
