Father's day in Jamaica


"Like what!? Father's day! I never knew they had a day."- said no one ever. Well maybe it was said before the day actually existed, but no one probably said that following the day's commemoration.

Then again I might be wrong. What I am sure about though is that the day for the mothers is generally more celebrated and recognized than the day for fathers generally is.

Although even this is changing. As society experiences a shift, more and more fathers are being celebrated and father's day is actually becoming a thing.

I wonder with the discussion that are looming about gender identity, will these days come under attack as well?
