AN ABUNDANCE
OF LAUGHTER
Asheeka Harriott
MEET
Everyone has that‘ thing’ that makes them unique, and Asheeka, Administrative Assistant has a distinct laugh that simply put, makes you laugh. TPDConnect decided to visit Asheeka’ s world to find out what makes her so bubbly.
1. SHARE WITH US A JAMAICAN MOMENT THAT MADE YOU ALMOST DIE FROM LAUGHTER
The video with the little girl who was attending to a fruit stall, she was being provoked by a motorist who wasn’ t interested in buying anything ….. The funny part was when she told him he looked like
“ a big trial and crawsis in a d mawning”
2. WHERE DID YOU GROW UP AND WHAT DID YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE ABOUT THE PLACE
I grew up in a community called Prospect in South Manchester in an extended family home. I love the fact that I grew up in the country as it helped to mold me into the woman I am today. I had the kind of environment that allowed me to play dolly house outdoors, hide and seek, Chinese skip, dandy shandy and other games. My community has some of the warmest people, who are always ready to host visitors to the area. I wasn’ t able to walk to a river but Alligator Pond was always 15 mins away. Mi did ride bicycle and clime nuff tree to ….. As I child I had many chores and the one I hated most looking after the chickens and the pigs. I would always forget to feed the chickens and my grandmother let it slide. I remember the first time I got a chicken to kill, pick and pluck ….. it didnt end well, long and short of the story, the wings were broken, the chicken turned black and blue and it was also partially boiled because it fell in the hot boiling water and I was not able to remove it.
3. WHICH JAMAICAN FOOD MAKES YOU QUEASY AND IS THERE A STORY BEHIND IT?
Guango Peas Soup – My grandmother forced me to eat it when I was a child.
4. YOUR FAVOURITE SOUTH COAST LOCATION TO ESCAPE TO?
Treasure Beach
5. THE MOST POPULAR LINE YOU HEAR ON THE STREET
“ D PLACE HOT EE’
6. IF I DIDN’ T KNOW YOU, WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE WOULD BE MY FIRST THOUGHT?
She’ s crazy!
7. FINALLY, WHICH THREE J’ CAN ICONS WOULD YOU GO ON A ROAD TRIP WITH? WHY THOSE PERSONS?
• Agent Sasco – For the past eight or ten years I have just gravitated to Sasco. Hes an exemplary family man, and his music is conscious and positive. On road trips people tend to talk a lot and share experiences, it would give me the opportunity to know him more. Plus he’ s hot!( Winks)
• Beenie Man – Because he has been a long time favourite. I love his songs and also his vibe while performing. And I think we celebrate the same birth date too. Beenie looks like the perfect road tripper, we could make few stops at random bars and have a beer and continue on our journey.
• Asafa Powell – My long time favourite athlete. Asafa always looked
like someone who“ could a do road wid”
