Your mind is far away. It goes to… ‘Yard’. It goes to Jamaica. 🇯🇲

You want words from your real heart. Words that show your true feeling.

That’s why today, I found 56+ happy independence day jamaica quotes for you. Not just simple words. These words have vibes. Words to make you remember, and make you feel happy.

You ready? “Big up yuhself!”

“Likkle but Tallawah” – What It Means?

Before we start the quotes, let’s remember.

You heard this before, na? “Wi likkle but wi tallawah”? (We are small, but we are strong).

Friend, look at that small island. But look what we gave to the world. Reggae music. Dancehall. Bob Marley. Usain Bolt. Jerk Chicken. Ackee and Saltfish.

Our culture… it’s everywhere in the world. Even in the USA, you can go somewhere and hear Patois (our language). You can feel the vibes.

That is us. We are strong. We are Black, we are proud. Our freedom… we got it ourselves.

So, if you are holding your flag today, even in New York… hold it high. Let the Black, Gold, and Green shine. It’s not just a flag. It’s our story.
