Learn when to start mammograms, how to reduce discomfort, the benefits of early detection, and exactly where in Jamaica you can book your mammogram. Includes public, private, and mobile screening options. Why This Matters Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer among Jamaican women. Far too many cases are still detected at late stages when treatment is more difficult. Regular mammograms detect cancer earlier , when treatment is more effective and survival chances are much higher. What Is a Mammogram—and Why Early Matters A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray of the breast designed to detect small changes long before a lump can be felt. In Jamaica, the Ministry of Health & Wellness recommends that women age 40 and older begin regular mammogram screenings . International health bodies, including the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), recommend screening every two years from age 40 to 74 for women at average risk. The American Cancer Society (ACS) also supports sta...

Chapter 1 Part 2: The Unwifed Circle by Kenniesha Burrell  The stranger’s footsteps faded into the hum of the party inside, but his words clung to the night like the scent of salt on our skin. We stood there, unmoving, the wind curling around us, tugging at hair and hems as if urging someone to speak. It was Kai who broke first. “Did… anyone else feel like he knew us? Not just saw us, but… knew?” Mahalia rolled her eyes, too quickly. “Probably just some bored finance guy with a good tailor and bad pickup lines.” But her fingers toyed with the thin gold chain at her neck a tell she probably didn’t know she had. Zariah’s gaze stayed fixed on the door where he’d disappeared. “No. He wasn’t here for the party. He came for something… or someone.” That last word landed sharp, and I caught it so did Raine, who straightened from her lazy lean against the railing. “What are you saying? That one of us knows him?” No one answered. The silence turned thick, sticky with the heat of una...

  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...

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...
