I first heard Jah's message in the words of Bob Marley and Lee Perry when I first gained an interest in reggae music. I remember asking a friend about Rastafari and he told me, "it's the same God, they just call him Jah." This increased my interest... As you, I was also raised as a Catholic... I did much research on Rastafari and it gave me a great feeling and felt right in my heart. I knew that it was a real thing and what I had been searching for. It was always inside me... I just had to realize it.

As for the issue of one's skin color, a Rasta brother once put it to me like this: "Rastafari is FOR I. It is for everyone!" If someone wants to tell me otherwise, that person does not truly understand Jah's message.


One love,
