“We likkle but we tallawah!” is a common Jamaican saying that means we Jamaicans may come from a small (“likkle”) country, but we are determined and strong-willed (“tallawah”) and have a lot of presence and talent in the world. This can be said for so many things within our culture: sports, music, arts, F&B, and design.
