I am Ras Soloman Jackson (Mokko). I was born in St. Thomas on 22 nd June, 1952. I grew up on Old Road and learned about roots from my father and another man in Sunning Hill. After leaving school, I went on a skill training program as a stone wall builder and worked at that for fifteen years.
Then I went to Portland Parish on the north side of Jamaica. That is where I became involved in tourism. Then I got a job at Zion Country Eco-Beach Cabins as a tour guide. I worked with people from different countries, taking them to places they wanted to know and go.
Now I started two cabins in Sunning Hill in St. Thomas, called Riverside Cool Cottages. I have guests from Canada, Italy and also U.S.A. in San Francisco, California and from Michigan.
