My mother’s father was a renowned ‘scientist’ and her mother, at one point in time, a revivalist. She grew up primarily with her father up to the age of 15 when he passed, and who, to this day, guides and protects her through dreams. I attended the usual schools, infant, primary, high and managed fairly well through it all. Singing, especially the singing of folk songs, was an interest at all these levels of schooling and into later years. My grandmother who raised me was a member of the New Testament Church of God. Since she would not leave us at home alone, we were among the most faithful attendees at Church. This is where I received my first formal introduction and invitation to religion. I learned, respected, participated, but did not accept. Later on I attended college, started working, graduated university and, through varied portals, ventured into African spirituality. This has become for me, a life long journey of learning, living and sharing, as I currently engage with Akan, Yoruba, Congolese, Edo, (all ancestors of this land), spiritual expressions. On this path I have been blessed to have visited and participated in rituals and ceremonies in spiritual houses in Ghana, Cuba and Nigeria. I have also been inspired to establish Sankofie as a space in Jamaica to help to raise ‘spiritual’ consciousness and improve our knowledge of the ways of life of our ancestors and deities of the groups of Africans who came, and the Jamaican indigenous people who received them. In a few words, I am a child of the ancestors of this land, here in present time to serve. I am recognized by a few names, but am most often called Carol, Nana, Fofie or Okomfo Fofie.

Jennifer M. Garnatz Poet author/spoken-word artist/self-publisher/songwriter December 1979, I migrated to Germany to learn the language with the intention of returning to Jamaica to work in the foreign service or in tourism after 18 months. It was a spontaneous decision. I had been working at the Trelawny Beach Hotel as assistant sales & PR manager and noticed it was overrun with German tourists who had started coming to the island on charter planes. However, none of us spoke their language. I returned to Kingston and applied at the German Embassy for a visa. In Germany, I realized I no longer felt tormented by my father’s murder, I no longer felt afraid I could be murdered at night just as daddy was; so, I stayed longer than planned. Then the years quickly flew by. I am still residing there. However, Jamaica will always be my home. I do go home regularly on vacations so as not to become a stranger to the land of my birth. Maybe one day I’ll return permanently. In 1999, I finally decided it was time to actively begin another phase of my life —my creative-writing sideline. God blessed me with a few talents. It was time to put another one into action. In Jamaica I had co-written a song with the talented Harald Butler. In Hamburg, I had already taken part in a poetry event in the past. To test the public’s response to my poetry, I now began participating in poetry slams and various other literary events, presenting my poems in both the English and German languages. The audiences responded positively to my poems. I even won a few prizes. This encouraged me to self-publish a poetry volume. That same year the organizers invited me to represent Hamburg at the National Poetry Slam Team Competition being held in Weimar, the famous city in which Germany’s most popular poet and author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe resided and later died. In April 2001, I self-published my first poetry volume in a limited edition titled “romanctically erotic, deadly religious”. In 2009 via Xlibris, a books-on-demand Online publishing company in the USA, I had it reprinted under the title “romanctically erotic, deadly spiritual society” in order to make it also available to international audiences. In 2021, upon request, the 3rd edition was republished by Great Writers Media in the USA. This contains minor changes.
