GraceKennedy (GK) is set to play a significant role in the upcoming 11th Biennial Jamaica Diaspora Conference, serving as a Legacy Partner.

GK's involvement underscores its commitment to fostering connections and supporting the nation's development.

GraceKennedy has proudly supported the Jamaica Diaspora Conference since its inception because we recognise the tremendous contributions of Jamaicans living overseas.

A key highlight of GraceKennedy's participation will be the presence of its esteemed Brand Ambassador, Jamaican sprint icon Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. She is slated to be a featured speaker on a special panel. Fraser-Pryce will share insights from her illustrious career, discussing the impact Jamaicans have worldwide and inspiring excellence both at home and abroad.

Frank James, Group Chief Executive Officer of GraceKennedy Limited, expressed the company's long-standing support for the conference, recognizing the substantial contributions of Jamaicans living overseas. "We are excited to welcome delegates back to Jamaica and to continue strengthening the partnerships that contribute to our country’s growth and development," James stated. He added, "We are also especially pleased to facilitate Shelly-Ann’s participation in this year’s conference, as she embodies the excellence, resilience and global impact that Jamaicans – and GraceKennedy – are known for worldwide."
