HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, Aug. 10, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The team behind Jamaicans to the World is pleased to announce that the show recently celebrated its 100th episode milestone.
Created and hosted by Xavier Murphy, founder of the Jamaicans.com platform, Jamaicans to the World is a popular documentary that launched in August 2019 and explores the experiences of immigrant Jamaicans in a different country each week. The show takes place in an interview-style format and begins by asking each guest, “What’s it like to live ‘out there’ as a Jamaican?” Through these personal interviews, other Jamaicans who are considering similar moves can benefit from the experiences of those who have gone before them. The information included in the interviews is also useful for those planning a visit overseas, as the Jamaican interviewees generously share their recommendations about the best foods to try and must-see sites.
In the latest show news, Jamaicans to the World has reached an exciting milestone – 100 episodes. This remarkable achievement speaks to the popularity of the show, which boasts over 4.6 million combined views on Facebook and YouTube to date.
“We believe our documentary series are so popular because the interviews don’t shy away from tackling more serious issues, such as racism, perceptions of Jamaicans overseas and the challenges of moving to a country with an unfamiliar culture,” says Murphy. “Expatriate Jamaicans also discuss the cost of living in their new countries and offer advice about the best ways to adjust to an unfamiliar environment.”
To commemorate the 100th episode and 100th place, Murphy has recorded a special compilation video, 9 Things I’ve Learned from Jamaicans Around the World, in which he shares some of what he’s learned from his conversations with Jamaicans living in 100 different countries around. world.
“What I discovered is that Jamaicans are truly global thinkers who believe the world is theirs to explore and discover,” says Murphy. “Jamaicans are confident and wherever they go, they seem to ‘just bubble to the top.’ Given the opportunity, they will start businesses, move into great leadership positions, and succeed. Jamaicans are adaptable and resourceful, no matter the climate or cultural conditions, they just adapt, adjust and do what they have to do to live in their new country. Jamaicans not only adapt, but they enjoy exploring new cultures; they’re not afraid to go out and explore new foods and new experiences.”
“Actually, having a Jamaican passport is almost like having a ‘royal’ passport,” Murphy continues. see if they will grow in the new country. They also share the music and food of Jamaica with friends and family in the new country.”
Another thing Murphy also found is that people from Clarendon Parish in Jamaica seem to be very adventurous, as most of the people he interviewed came from Clarendon. Not only that, but Jamaican immigrants were well-traveled before making their move to a new country, and the understanding and experience they had before the move seems to help them adjust.
“Jamaicans love to travel, but when asked what they miss most, almost all interviewees say Jamaican clothes and Jamaican KFC,” shares Murphy. “There’s nothing like a Jamaican bean, they say, and nothing like a Jamaican KFC. Jamaicans want to connect with other Jamaicans around the world and ask me if I can connect them with someone when they travel abroad. Some even want to connect with the interviewees in the series. People always feel more comfortable traveling overseas if they can ‘connect with another yard and find out what it’s like’.”
Murphy is humbled and honored to be directing the series and is looking forward to the next 100 episodes.
