Nobody could say anything about Portia Simpson-Miller. She was the only Jamaican woman  I grew up seeing in Parliament and this spoke volumes to me. Although I was too young to be "keen on politics"  I followed her life closely and ofcourse I was the first one in front of the TV to witness her marriage to the most honourable, Errald Miller. The People's National Party was in power for most of my life and that's the political group I was familiar with. When the most honourable Portia Lucretia Simpson-Miller was named  the first female prime minister of Jamaica in 2006 ofcourse I was ecstatic . Not only did my girl Portia make it to the top of the lower house of Parliament after so many years in politics, but this meant that certain strides would have been made for women.
