On her previous visit to Jamaica last March, Sophia Brown saw firsthand the destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa, especially in her home parish of St Elizabeth. Not much changed when the singer returned in mid-October.
St Elizabeth was hardest hit by the Category 5 hurricane, which made landfall on October 28, 2025. It also resulted in extensive damage to neighbouring parishes of Westmoreland, Hanover, St James and Trelawmy.
“People still need help, even after a year. When you go into Black River it still looks like a ghost town, the buildings are down and not much businesses open,” Brown told Observer Online. “It needs to be rebuilt.”
