Rohan Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley, visits Barbados for FiX24

Barbados: Athlete, entrepreneur and son of Reggae legend Bob Marley, Rohan Marley, arrived in Barbados for the 2024 Fintech Islands Experience, which was held from January 24 to 26.

The 2024 Fintech Islands Experience, aka FiX24, was the biggest Fintech event in the Caribbean, which took place at the Sam Lord's Castle. The event connected more than 100 world-class entrepreneurs from across the globe.

The entrepreneur attended the event to represent his company, Marley Coffee & Lion Order, and also led one of the last day's sessions on the topic 'Conversation with Rohan Marley: Family Legacy, Entrepreneurship & and Building Sustainable Businesses'.

Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. caught up with him between sessions on Friday for a little fun and they welcomed the son of the iconic Jamaican singer and musician Bob Marley to the island nation.

During the session, Rohan Marley mocked and said that he just wanted to breathe the air Rihanna breathes. He outlined, "One of the main reasons I'm here is that I was so excited about being here for FinTech, but the other reason was because DJ Khaled says Rihados. So I wanted to breathe the air that Rihanna breathes."

Rihanna is one of the prominent singers of the 21st century and was born in Barbados.

During the event, Rohan Marley also met with several other entrepreneurs. Sabrina, the owner of financial service Wekeza, also met him and outlined the things she learned from the CEO of Marley Coffee and Lion Order.

Sabrina said that Marley was determined on the fact that doors may open in honour of his late father, Bob Marley, but five minutes later, they wanted to know about him and his capabilities.

He also highlighted that "No matter who you are, the entrepreneurial journey is long and hard." Marley also told Sabrina that there is a huge need for financial education in the Caribbean region.

In addition to his, he also took to Instagram to post a short clip of his visit to Barbados with the captain, "We here in Rihados, fully enjoying the vibration." The entrepreneur was seen having a good time at the Pebbles Beach.
