Moon Author's Review
Pauline Petinaud, a.k.a. "Sista P" (cell tel. 876/426-1957), recently moved her African-Jamaican crafts shop and guest house from Port Antonio to Hope Bay, where she rents two basic rooms with common kitchen and bath for budget-minded travelers (US$30). Sista P, not to be confused with PNP politician Portia Simpson-Miller of the same pet name, is an important figure behind the movement to celebrate the African heritage inherent in Jamaican culture. Her craft shop sells African-inspired Jamaican items as well as a variety of African imports. She is best known for her founding role in the annual African-heritage festival, Fi Wi Sinting, which translates as "something for us."
