Jamaican leaders to perform for charity

Kingston, Jamaica, A unique blend of political figures, business leaders, and civil society representatives are preparing to take the stage for the "Powerful Women and Men Perform for Charity" event on Sunday, June 21, at the Jamaica College auditorium.

The event, now in its latest iteration, promises an evening of "never-before-seen-and-heard gifts" from individuals typically known for their roles in boardrooms and corridors of power. Performers include House Speaker Juliet Holness, Opposition Leader Mark Golding, and Minister of Tourism Ed Bartlett, alongside other prominent figures from various sectors.

It is going to be an exciting show, full of surprises and the never-before-seen-and-heard gifts of these persons outside of the board rooms and corridors of power.

"It is going to be an exciting show, full of surprises," said Cordel Green, the show's executive producer. "The west will be represented by at least two Montego-based powerhouses in the persons of celebrated journalists Lloyd B Smith and Janet Silvera." Miss Jamaica World 2026, Nevaeh Allen, and opposition spokesperson on culture Nekeisha Burchell are also among the latest additions to the lineup.

The primary beneficiary of the event is the Mustard Seed Communities, an organization dedicated to the care of nearly 500 HIV-affected and abandoned children across 12 homes islandwide. The "Powerful Women and Men" show has been a significant source of funding for the charity, having raised over $80 million for the organization throughout its history. Tickets are available at various Fontana Pharmacies locations and online, with a Pay-Per-View option for those in the diaspora or unable to attend.
