Portia Simpson Miller approached the US Congressional Black Caucus seeking their help in urging the World Bank to give Jamaica’s case special attention. An article from the Opposition People’s National Party leadership outlining Jamaica’s historic strides in foreign relations omitted Portia Simpson Miller’s contribution during her tenure. When Simpson Miller took office in 2012, Jamaica’s international image was severely damaged, and it was considered unfavorably in international circles. However, by the end of her four-year tenure, Jamaica had become the poster child of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Simpson Miller also sought the assistance of the US Congressional Black Caucus in urging the World Bank to pay attention to Jamaica’s case. This effort was later acknowledged by political firebrand California Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Simpsons Miller was well-received internationally, making many friends globally and was respected for her leadership. The article also notes Jamaica’s recovery efforts in international relations, which were aided by Simpson Miller’s reputation and influence.
