JOURNAL
A Curated Companion for Your TWO SISTERS Experience
Welcome to our Journal — a living collection of what inspires us, grounds us, and keeps us connected to the soul of Jamaica. Whether you're preparing for your trip or looking to carry a piece of the island home with you, this is your guide to deepening the experience.
Here you’ll find the playlists we cook to, the books we return to, the artists who move us, and the flavors that continue to shape our world. It’s a window into our lives, and a way for you to feel the rhythm, color, and spirit of the Caribbean — no matter where you are.
So press play, turn a page, stir a pot, and let the journey begin.

Playlists We Love
Music is the heartbeat of the Caribbean — joyful, defiant, soulful, and alive. These are the sounds that fill our kitchens, our winding drives through the island, and our quiet mornings.
Books & Authors
The Caribbean has produced some of the world’s most powerful voices in literature. These are the authors we return to — storytellers who capture the richness, complexity, and magic of island life. Bring one along on your trip or let it take you there from home.
