Ky-Mani Marley, Miss Kitty to be honoured at Florida ceremony
SOUTH FLORIDA, United States — Reggae singer Ky-Mani Marley and media personality and attorney-at-law, Khadine “Miss Kitty” Hylton-Wilkinson are to be honoured during a Key To The Region ceremony in Florida on Friday, June 7.
The ceremony aims to highlight Jamaicans who are outstanding ambassadors for the country internationally.
It will be hosted at the Marriott Fort Lauderdale North and will be led by Tamarac City Commissioner, Marlon Bolton.
In a South Florida Caribbean News (SFCN) report, Commissioner Bolton noted that the award presentation is an “amalgamation of keys given by several commissioners hence it’s a key to the region”.
“This award says to the recipients that we love you, we honour you and because of your accomplishments, you are always welcome in the region,” Commissioner Bolton told SFCN.
“Kymani Marley in his own right has made Jamaica proud in so many ways not just with his work but collaborations with other international artists constantly putting Jamaica on the map as a positive place to visit and positive people to be around,” Commissioner Bolton continued in the report.
Likewise, Miss Kitty is being honoured not only for her work as a radio and television host, but because “she is an educated woman as well, having a law degree and overcoming many struggles”.
