BY THE COURT: BETWEEN DESMOND WILLIAM McKENZIE CLAIMANT AND DAISY ELIZABETH RAYMOND FIRST DEFENDANT AND LACY-ANN SHERENE RAYMOND SECOND DEFENDANT By Neil Armstrong FROM CHILDHOOD to her early teens, Kay Morris saw her mother travelling across Jamaica preaching as an evangelist and, whenever she came across an orphan, disadvantaged child or a marginalised youth, she would bring them home andmake them a part of her family. Those deeds are responsible for steering the gospel artiste to the mission of ministry and philanthropy. Morris’parents – the late Dorine and Léopold Chambers – were Pentecostal ministers and she spent most of her life in the church. “As a young child, my mom discovered that I could sing and so I started singing at the tender age of four at church conventions and crusades across the island,” said the Gospel Hall of Fame inductee. Recently, the Canadian Jamaican Diaspora Christian Alliance (CJDCA) presented the Nanny of the Maroons Award to Morris for her contribution to diaspora development on the eve of National Heroes’ Day in Jamaica. The not-for-profit organisation aims tomobilise and empower the Christian community to promote growth, development and sustainability in the diaspora and Jamaica. She says the Jamaican heroine was a fierce warrior who fought for the rights of her people and did many valiant things to bring about peace and stability, so she feels honoured to be considered in that vein. “My mom laid that solid foundation for me by teaching me these great humanitarian values and so, for me, it’s very natural to be selfless and do what I do. It’s in my DNA. I am a giver; I am wired to serve humanity. I am always looking for ways in which I can help the least fortunate, to give back, mentor, and coach the next generation to become great at what they do in a spirit of excellence. I am inspired to inspire others,”says the singer and songwriter who was born in Westmoreland but grew up in Montego Bay and came to Canada in 1980. JAMAICAN-CANADIANS Her altruism includes sourcing beds, wheelchairs and medical supplies for hospitals in Jamaica – Black River, Savanna-la-Mar, Kingston Public, Spanish Town, and Lionel Town – and helping fellow Jamaican-Canadians who needed support in the wake of the pandemic. Through the Kay Morris Foundation, for which she is president, she was able to provide food and gift cards to them. The not-for-profit organisation is also dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth in Canada. “I’ve been really giving back to the community through mentoring young Jamaicans and those of Jamaican parentage, and coaching women, which I think is very important, to shape the lives of the next generation and to help women to find their place in the society and be who God has called them to be.” The CJDCA’s National Heroes’ Day celebration pays tribute tomembers of the Jamaican-Canadian diaspora who advocate for education and fight for social justice. Awards were presented in the names of Jamaica’s national heroes. An award was also presented to a community business. In late November, Morris will hold an event to honour women in the community, some of whom are Jamaicans, who have been helping her with food deliveries in various communities. “These are women who are unsung, nobody ever sees them but they’re there. They would go into Jane and Finch or Chalkfarm to drop off food, so they’ve been the extension of what I do,”explainedMorris, who has dubbed the event the Royal Banquet, in honour of the women who volunteer. This initiative is a product of her global coaching services business, Beauty for Ashes, which she describes as an extension of her. “I’m coaching andmentoringwomen – some are probably business-minded but they don’t know how to go about launching their own business. They have the idea but don’t know how to bring it forth or to give birth to it. So I bring them into the birthing room and show them the ropes on how to birth their business,” she said. At the onset of the pandemic, Morris had to pivot. She started the business in 2021 after enrolling in school and becoming certified as a life coach. She was mentoring youth around the world and had just returned to Canada from South Korea and China in early 2020 when the world came to a standstill. “All of my stuff came to a total halt in 2020 when I was supposed to continue my travels, so I had to pivot quickly. What am I going to do now? God just gave me this vision that just flipped the switch.” In October 2019, Morris was one of the first seven women to be ordained as a bishop in the Pentecostal Church of God during its 100th anniversary. She is the holder of three degrees: Bachelor of Divinity, Doctor of Divinity and Doctor of Humanities.
