Advocating for Rights, Amplifying Voices

Hi! I'm Jodi-Ann Quarrie, a human rights lawyer, journalist, and mentor dedicated to justice and social change. My career has spanned international legal institutions, media, and professional development, all rooted in my commitment to human rights.

I have worked at the United Nations, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and engaged with the Caribbean Court of Justice, focusing on legal protections for vulnerable communities. As a UN Fellow and former CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce in Jamaica, I’ve led initiatives that drive policy change and encourage corporate responsibility. My expertise in international law and governance has shaped discussions on reparations, climate justice, and the rule of law across the Caribbean and beyond.

As a journalist, I co-host Power 106 FM’s The Morning Agenda, one of Jamaica’s most influential morning radio shows. I interview government officials, heads of international organizations, and civil society leaders, turning complex legal and policy issues into engaging, accessible conversations that drive action. My work has led to real change, from policy shifts to increased public awareness of pressing human rights and governance matters.

Through The Career Architect, I mentor professionals and organizations seeking to align their careers with purpose-driven work. Whether helping young lawyers find their footing in human rights law or guiding NGOs in advocacy strategy, I believe in using my knowledge to empower others.

At the core of everything I do—whether in law, media, or mentorship—is a deep commitment to justice, fairness, and making human rights a lived reality for all.

Welcome to my space on the web.
