From trauma to opportunity – The Carolyn McLean story

Impacting Jamaica

From very humble beginnings in rural Jamaica, Carolyn McLean moved to the United States for a better life for herself and her family. The untimely loss of a younger brother some eight years ago was painful, and as faith would have it, that adversity would bring with it, an opportunity to give back to her community and country, in memory of her dearly departed brother, Wayne O. Johnson, in whose honor, she created the Wayne O. Johnson Youth Leadership Foundation, in 2020. Carolyn McLean, a certified insurance agent, a minister of religion, notary public and a philanthropist, is a ray of hope for children in the Coffee Piece community of Clarendon but wants your help to continue making that dream a reality. “I love people. I love to help. I love to give back because I started from humble beginnings myself,” she said. In this episode of Impacting Jamaica, Ms. McLean talks with host Aubrey Campbell about her work and plans for the future.
