Gallivant, the debut travelogue and memoir by Jamaican architect, designer, and creative director, Michelle Simone Clarke, affectionately called SiiM, made its official entry into the Jamaican literary landscape last Thursday, offering a vibrant blend of humour, reflection, and cultural insight. At a time when many Jamaicans are reflecting on personal resilience and collective strength, the themes of Gallivant resonate even more deeply. Something Extra brings you the social highlights.
