They met at church, seated just a few rows apart, brought together by an usher, an observant auntie, and a shared love for worship. What started as group outings and quiet moments watching each other from afar eventually grew into a marriage that bridges Nigeria and Jamaica.
In this episode of Married to a Jamaican, Jamaicans.com founder Xavier Murphy sits down with Yemi Oluwole, a Nigerian husband 🇳🇬, and Kamyna Robison, his Jamaican wife 🇯🇲, to talk honestly about their love story and what it’s really like building a marriage across cultures.
They share how faith shaped their relationship, the cultural misunderstandings they had to work through, and the everyday realities of blending Nigerian and Jamaican traditions — from jollof rice vs rice and peas, to household expectations, language differences, family dynamics, and holiday celebrations.
