Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the sprint queen of Jamaica, has already announced her retirement, leaving fans gutted yet grateful for her legendary career.

Shelly-Ann’s words painted a vivid picture of a man who shaped her life and Jamaica’s soul. Who was this leader she spoke of with such reverence?

“Don Wehby was transformational,” Shelly-Ann wrote, calling him “a leader of immense stature, but even greater heart.” She described learning from him not just in business but in life, his fortitude and commitment to excellence inspiring her own relentless drive. His ability to balance grace and grit left a mark. How did their partnership with GraceKennedy grow so deep?
