Where does the “Glória Maria in Jamaica” meme come from?
On July 1, 2016, the TV Globo show Globo Repórter aired a segment on Jamaica hosted by journalist Glória Maria. In it, she visits a Rastafari community called Bobo Ashanti and is invited to take part in a ritual involving sacred ganja, a religious tradition of the group; to avoid disrespecting her hosts, she accepts and takes two puffs. Minutes after it aired, Brazilian internet users were already cutting her expressions during and after the ritual into captioned images, videos and gifs, spreading across Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. The meme peaked in popularity about a month after the broadcast.
