In a heartfelt gesture of support, dancehall artist Shenseea has provided care and relief packages to residents of St. Elizabeth, her home parish, which was severely impacted by Hurricane Beryl.
The initiative has brought much-needed solace to many, highlighting Shenseea’s commitment to giving back to her community.
On Saturday, Shenseea shared videos and photos on Instagram of her distributing tarpaulins and food packages to the affected citizens. Accompanying her on the trip was her son, Rajeiro Lee.
Born Chinsea Linda Lee, the 27-year-old singer expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to help those in need. “My last 48 hours have been wholesome as I prepared and distributed care and relief packages to my home parish that has been drastically affected by Hurricane Beryl,” the ‘Blessed’ hitmaker wrote. “I’m so grateful God put me in a position to take care of my people!”
Shenseea also praised her colleagues at Romeich Entertainment, led by businessman Romeich Major, for their assistance in making her vision a reality.

Hurricane Beryl’s eyewall grazed Jamaica’s southern coast as a category 4 storm last Wednesday, causing extensive damage across several parishes. The strong winds and heavy rains severely impacted infrastructure in the southern parishes of Manchester and St. Elizabeth.
Floyd Green, Member of Parliament for Southwest St. Elizabeth, described the situation as “complete devastation,” noting that many residents have lost their homes and roofs. “From all the reports I have received, we have taken a most devastating blow in St. Elizabeth from Hurricane Beryl. Significant numbers of roofs being lost, houses destroyed, trees uprooted, light poles downed, almost all roads are impassable. Going to be an extremely long night,” he posted on social media platform X last week.
The majority of the southern parts of the parish remain without power, cell service, and running water. Schools such as Munro College and Hampton School for Girls suffered extensive damage, along with tourist spots like Lovers Leap, Jakes Hotel, and Lashings Boutique Hotel.
