I was born in Jamaica and have been residing in Canada for over 20 years. I graduated with Honours Bachelor of Arts degree at University of Toronto, a Graduate Certificate in Public Administration at Seneca College, and a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) at the University of the West Indies, Mona. I've worked for the former Ministry of Children ad Youth Services (now the Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services). Now I'm a Court and Client Representative for the Ministry of the Attorney General. In my spare time, I write press releases, blogs, and news articles for different organizations, including my own website. I write about experiences about travelling, social justice issues, relationship and spirituality. Visit me at shaunacassell.ca
Visting Port Royal with friends and learning about it’s history. The best part was visiting the restaurant, Gloria’s: Fish soup for our appetizer, the second course was a large brown stewed fish on a platter with two slices of bammy on the side.

Shopping downtown Kingston, Jamaica for groceries, and household supplies to prepare my campus apartment with Patrice, who did the hard work for me, as I familiarize myself with vendors in Jamaica.
Settling in my campus residence and seeing that it was everything that I had imagined; balcony, surrounded by beautiful mountains, makes me content as I make Jamaica my home.
I had orientation a few days again. It was held in the very same Faculty of Law building I made a declaration a year ago that, “I see myself here”. As I sat down by the quadrangle inside the building looking up at the sky, I feel that this is […]
1. Ants: The ants are not my friend. They go everywhere.. in my clothes, my food, they bite me and crawl on my computer. I hear they chew electrical cords so I have to make sure my computer is safe. They make rows on the walls but I have no idea […]
