Kenniesha Burrell Rima's arrest:Rima’s Story – A Wake-Up Call for Jamaica’s Youth

👭

In the vibrant streets of Kingston, Jamaica, a young woman named Rima found her life shattered by one wrong turn. She wasn’t a criminal. She wasn’t living recklessly. But like many of our youth trying to navigate challenges, she made one decision that changed everything.

Rima was arrested. Her name appeared across social media and news platforms without context or care. She was judged before her voice could be heard. Her family, caught off guard, spiraled into emotional pain. Her mother broke down in tears. Her younger siblings couldn’t understand why their sister was now behind bars.

The silence that followed was filled with shame and unanswered questions. But inside her cell, Rima was filled with something more — realization. She began to see the power of choices. She began to understand how easily one mistake could derail a life. But she also discovered strength.

When she was finally released, Rima didn’t hide. She stood up. She began to speak to other young women, warning them about influence, pressure, and the hidden consequences of one wrong move. She became a voice — not for perfection, but for prevention.


A Message to Jamaica’s Youth

To every young person reading this:
Don’t wait until it’s too late.

One wrong decision can lead to heartbreak, legal trouble, or worse — the loss of your freedom and your future. Listen to your conscience. Talk to someone. Walk away from trouble. Do the right thing, even when no one is watching.


To Parents and Guardians

Please, stay close.
Ask questions.
Create safe spaces for conversation.

Your child may be fighting silent battles. A listening ear can be the difference between disaster and deliverance.


To Anyone Who Has Made a Mistake

You are not finished.
You are not what they labeled you.
You can rise.
You can turn your pain into purpose.

Rima did it. And so can you.

Final Words

Rima’s story isn’t just hers. It’s the story of too many young Jamaicans, lost in the system before they ever had a real chance. Let her journey remind you that doing the right thing always pays off — maybe not right away, but always in the end.

Let’s continue building a Jamaica where young voices are guided, not just judged. Let’s protect, uplift, and mentor one another so we don’t lose more of our Rimas.

Stay strong. Stay focused. Do the right thing.

The Unwifed Circle Chapter 1: The Unchosen Ones By Kenniesha Burrell

  The Unwifed Circle Chapter 1: The Unchosen Ones By Kenniesha Burrell The Night That Changed Everything Kingston Harbour was breathtaking under the night sky. Fairy lights draped across the rooftop swayed gently in the warm breeze, their glow dancing across champagne flutes and sequined dresses. The air was rich with the scent of hibiscus and sea salt, carrying that particular hum only the city could make music, laughter, the soft hiss of waves below. I told myself this was just another Friday celebration, another night where The Circle showed up for someone’s “big moment.” But the second she walked in, I knew this night would brand itself into memory. The bride-to-be wasn’t one of us. She was someone we all knew… but never thought would be the first to get the ring. And yet, there she was in a dress that seemed to drink the light, hand outstretched so the diamond could catch every camera in the room. For a long moment, none of us spoke. We just stood there, five women in h...

Title: The Unwifed Circle: A Story of Love, Loyalty, and the Ring That Never Came written by Kenniesha Burrell

They say we can have it all — career, kids, confidence, and companionship. But what happens when five women who have it all… still don’t have that? Meet The Unwifed Circle: Five friends, five powerhouses. They met in high school in Jamaica — girls with big dreams and even bigger hearts. They were the type to cheer for each other’s wins, wipe each other’s tears, and promise they’d all be at each other’s weddings one day. Fast-forward twenty years, and they’re mothers, CEOs, creatives, educators, and nurturers. Every one of them is successful in her own right. They’ve endured love, raised children, held down households — some of them even held broken men together. But there’s one thing they’ve never held: an engagement ring. No proposals. No popped questions. No one ever got down on one knee. This isn’t just a story of absence — it’s a story of presence: of resilience, of self-worth, of redefining what it means to be chosen. Because maybe the ring was never the prize. Maybe they were. Th...
