Sister Judy Mowatt is indeed a beautiful Queen . The sister is aging like fine wine

So many of us have this story. No love from both parents even when they were physically present. Now I’m in a time when men and women bicker on here about each other and who isn’t accountable and who this and who that and never looking at the traumas our people have endured and how to this day it is shaping us. We have carried on this from our ancestors generations through generations and now we are teaching each other to blame one over the other, to place one above the other. We need to be talking about counselling and dealing with root causes and how to truly heal and be able to move forward. Making sure the generation of trauma ends with us in this time, now.

Salute to this Empress who is still an icon in my book. She inspired some sisters to be natural, and to love their blackness

It's like Sir P said, Jamaican children are some of the most hugless, loveless children.

Often times we talk about Caribbean ways of love but realizing its toxic

But it’s magical when you heal yourself and you break the generational trauma and curses

I was born in Jamaica in 63, and I cannot remember anyone around me, whether family or neighbor who got love or gave love. Most times when people got close to you, It was to beat the daylight out of you or sexually abuse you. I’m not saying there were no people in Ja receiving or giving love. I’m saying in my sphere of reference, up until the age of 15, when I left Jamaica, I can only remember one teacher as a loving mother to her babies, while being beaten by her husband. She was the closest thing to loving and showing love, but her being constantly beaten, overshadow all of that. I’m almost 61 and I’ve heard that there are some changes in Jamaica with regards to this, and I hope it is true. Other adults like me are constantly working through things from our past THROUGH GODS GRACE AND LOVE I love my beautiful country, but I have no problem admitting the demons of incest, abuse and horrific violence that run that beautiful paradise.

The history and even present story of our own communities are highly acidic, a lot of chaos and trauma. Our people need healing, I pray for anyone going through these types of struggles.

Her words are reminiscent of my own experience with my mum and yes I too have reached a place were I AM safe - I love that woman but it was never reciprocated but I now know that wasn't from her, it was inherited but today I break the generational curse, yes there is a void but when you know better you must do better - we now know that love is not the European concept that we have out here EMbody [EMbrace] EMpath [EMpress] [EMpowerment] EMotions - Electro Magnetic - we are sum deep complex people and within that is our love, we will come good, we have to because the planet will die without us, she will die without our love [EM] experiences teach us and we must EMbrace - we have evolved because we now speak about our feelings

We admire you for your courage, strength and honesty. I'm now in my 40's, raised in the UK and I found your voice in my early teenage years. The powers of your voice is already self explanatory. May you still continue to be blessed 🙏🙏🙏

That is perhaps many people's story in the Caribbean. People were/are more than likely in survival mode.

❤❤❤often wondered where the I Threes were and what they were doing. These are the people we want to hear from and interview on all platforms👏🏾🙏🏾♥️🙌🏾♥️

Bless up, to this lady! She gave me one of my 1st autographs, in Bronx, NY, at a church convention in like 2001 or 2002, when I was a kid! Wow! This just brought back that memory!

Many of us have this experience, from parents to grandparents and goes on, i m not from the Carribean..but we have to break this cycle..💚🌻🙏🏽💜

My son’s grand aunt - Matthew, Mervin and Marsha’s aunt. Family oriented woman. Stepped up when they needed her most.

We love you from first we heard and seen you. Beautiful black woman. ❤️

NOTHING BUT LOVE 😘 FOR YU QUEEN 👑👁️❣️👑👁️ JUDY 😍💗🔥💥 THE GREAT I THREE'S 👊🏿👍🏿✌🏿👸🏾✨👸🏿

Havent heard anything about Judy for the longest ,she is indeed an icon

Hail Up Empress JUDY MOWATT😁🙌🏿💚💛💖👑❣

Give thanks for Judy . I respect her decision to be Christian. Me still love her

This unnatural world that was created by these unnatural beings destroyed so many innocent beings that it must be destroyed. Despite the difficult start for sistAr Mowat I always felt their was a natural beauty that emanated from her soul. I always loved you my sistAr. Too bad we never crossed path. But I'm not a christian.

Bless you sister Judy.

Ms. Mowatt, you are loved, you were loved. Thank you so much for all the beautiful and wonderful memories that you have caused with your voice and songs of love thru the years. I am 68yrs old now, and I hope that our path will cross before we move on. it would be nice to just even see a person like you in flesh and blood. I got to see John Holt, Bob, Marcia G. and some others, and I am hoping to add YOU to my list. God bless You.

Powerful share.

My life story has some similarities. Hail to this Queen! May God continue to use and Bless her.❤❤

Gorgeous woman, love her.

Dis a Legend rit err'.

Colonialism destroyed so many families

' She Is A Beautiful Woman'.

Much Respect and Love Sister 🙌🏾💖

I can relate to Ms Mowatt. I was also raised without any form of love & affection. Poor, a little food, a few pieces of clothes, few or no hygiene products. Much cursing and beatings. It was rough and l still have that void, suffering from depression. Christ never miraculously filled that void for me so l guess it works only for some.

I love the I three my favorite female group

Salute to one of my favorite gueen of reggae

Big respect lady Judy.

Blackwoman ooh Blackwoman 🎶🎵🎶🖤🖤🖤

Well I fully agree with what she's saying because you can't really give what you don't have.

Love you, sister Judy.

I need this whole video. My inner child 🫂 i feel my grandmother went through this as well

Beautiful speach, we didn't get love because some of our parent had to be grinding so hard to put food on the table, but in reality, i i believe that a roof over your head, & food on the table is more important, than the emotional aspect of it, cause without food you can't survive, & without a roof over your head, the sun will burn you, & rain will wet you, so we have to weight the pros & cons, yes we need a balance of spiritual, physical, & emotional attention/interaction, but in our case we have to choose the most important one to attend to, but children won't understand why they not getting all the attention, until the y, fall in simular situation, which them craving for the things above is a natural process, & if those needs are not met, the system goes into a depressive state, & lots of us are single mothers, I'm a single mother of 5, & my children are hurting, because all their needs had not be met by me, but it's me a alone with 5, so some things got a little neglected, but they are still not satisfied with what i could do, which is a natural reaction, it's just life, that's why in the bible it states, don't put your heart on nothing on this earth, cause it might fail you, mostly live in the spiritual realm, & you should be able to weather, lots of storms that will come your way, such is life, just live & praise GOD, ya man.

Jesus can and will fill you with love like no other! Much respect to this Queen!

A lot of parents were abused and told children r seen and not heard constantly and beaten chastised for anything the parents should have healed before having children

Back in the day when I was growing up in Jamaica, mothers made sure you had food to eat and taught you manners and respect for elders. But they were busy taking care and providing because the fathers whether absent or living at home hardly helped in raising the children. They really didn’t know how to be good fathers. We the children just had to survive the best way we could until we became adults and moved out to try and live our lives the best we could and not repeat how we were treated. Took us a while but we lost earned to show love and caring to our children.

So many persons can relate

Judy reminds me of my mother just the way she speaks. My mother was a Jamaican similar dialect. She was a Godly woman. Bless up to all the ladies who have Grace like Rita and Judy.

I guess life is just a mystery because the love I would feel in that woman's music, shaped me. I love you Sister Judy❤

Yes! And remove the stigma associated with counseling. Dismantle the myths about “ masculinity” being associated with a lack of emotions and sexual prowess. We can’t continue on like this. Our children are suffering! Our communities are suffering! Our health is suffering!

Jamaicans show love differently. Parents & families didn’t hug, kiss or say, “I love you” but they would give their lives for their children. That is LOVE expressed in its own way. Parents going without so their kids can have what they need, is LOVE. I never got hugs & kisses but I felt LOVED by my family & my community. Knowledge has increased so actions are changing. SURVIVAL was key. I could list numerous ways I experienced love from family & community which didn’t include a single hug or kiss. I reminisce all the time.

I wonder if Judy has written any books about her life? That would be a best seller. If she had one I definitely read it. I love Judy’s honesty.

legendary

The sad thing is...there are millions and millions who suffer the same. Growth and development arrested by someone else's lust. 👍💯⭐

Beautiful!

Thank you Mama Judy Mowatt. I respect her as much as Mama Rita Marley. This is the first time I have ever seen an interview with Judy. She has such a soothing voice. Grace and elegance. It’s such a travesty that to this day most Christian churches disfellowship or kick out women who have had children before marriage. Leading to more trauma, shame and isolation. Didn’t Jesus himself say woman where are your accusers?…Go and sin no more? He stood up for people who were ostracised by society. Anyway as far as I’m concerned God is Love. I’m not in any denomination anymore,I believe in love and that’s what counts. Not how many times you go inside a church. Blessings to us all. As we navigate this life, with courage, and empathy. We need more people to use their voices for change in our communities. In any way I believe healing is possible. I don’t believe In generational curses. But generational trauma. 🙏🏾 One ❤️

Sad this survival thing is a thing that is a thing that follows rich or poor it’s a trauma and mindset thing that needs to be healed worldwide

Wow what an interesting, and heart warming interview. It would be nice to see the full thing. I wish Empress Judy a long life and much happiness. Wasn’t she one of Bob Marley’s backing singers with Rita Marley? We as black, and brown people have a lot of healing to do. I really believe that as we become more open to discussing issues that affect us, we can find solidarity and comfort. It might take time… Thanks you Empress for sharing your story with us.

In those days even coming close to most parents they thought you were being disrespectful.

I love her grate message pricelesstruth may Allah peace love and blessing be with her 4LIFE

Praise God sister So many of us jamaican women experienced this same issue But not untill we mature and find jesus are we able to handle it the way you've done I too experienced the same problem ❤

Yes God is love. In seeking God, we will find true love

Queen Judy

The plantation was responsible for some child rearing culture. Tough plantation tough home.

This title basically sums up something that's been plaguing the black community for decades ..

It's a shame for parents to repeat the same patterns. Her mum sounds like mine. I wasn't shown love by my mum but I broke the pattern by giving love to my family. Unfortunately, I didn't know I had to be compassionate to myself till I became ill.

Most Jamaican mothers are like that, if I hug my mother she elbows me.

Amazing woman!! Love you Judy.

Grate message Prue motivation 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you my dear Judy Mowatt

The album "Black Woman" is a larger than life work of great artistry.

We were a loveless society in terms of hugs.

We CANT have the youths running loose.

She's so beautiful ❤

Can someone speak on the connection between Jamaica and Cuba when it comes to all these families? Alfarita Anderson's (Rita Marley) family came from Cuba, Judy Mowatt's family from Cuba, Alvin 'Seeco' Patterson's family from Cuba too. Was this a case of Cubans coming to settle in Jamaica or was it simply Jamaicans who had migrated to Cuba coming back after some years?

Sis Judy my dear friend living in her purpose

** My family history is very similar to hers, but my family went to Cuba from Jamaica 🇯🇲❤️🇨🇺 **

Lov you Judy 🇹🇹🙏🌹

beautiful

Tragic tragic tragic😫😫😫

❤me some Judy!

Preach Sista Rita!!!

❤ you 👑 Judy ❤️💚💛

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️

Judy Mowatt, of Cuban descent, like Rita. Didn't know.

I have had my experiences with women like her!!!

How often you hear and see that many black fathers were "not around". But not just Black communities; other races are included too. It's sad how many people are broken and don't give a sh*t about their actions until it's too late and the damage has been done.

It is very possible that as a teenager when her mother got impregnated, it was by someone who forced themselves on her. Therefore, her mother experienced trauma from her partner and the church. She is very blessed her mother didn't abandon her altogether since being a young teenager without love herself. And please don't rule out the effects colorism played in these islands. 😩

Sis Judy

Queen

Amen🙏🏽🙌🏽🇯🇲

Beautiful lady

The Roman Catholic Church!!!...Ha!!...Big Mistake!!!!

halleluYah

So sad, when she found Christ. That's trauma, no mention of self love due to her experience.

Wow,

Amen 🙏
