Growing up in Jamaica as a child there were tailors and dress makers. No one went to the store to buy clothes. However, over the years we moved away from that aspect of our culture, began importing clothes and follow the American and European fashion trends.
Great initiative.. handsome and bright interviewee.. hope your efforts will build a strong community of expats that will create a catalyst to stimulate and build 'brand Jamaica'. More success to you my dear.
There is a place above Alexandria St. Ann by the name of Abouker.,which is a Nigerian name. I think there was a lot of people that was taken from Nigeria to that area.
Bammy is from the native Arawak/Taino indigenous part of the Jamaican culture. Similar cassava flat breads can be found across Latin American and Caribbean countries where native Americans are.
Sure, in west Africa they pound the cassava into a flour and make a soft dough (fufu, etc.). In the Americas and the Caribbean it is grated and baked into a flatbread. Africa and the Americas/Caribbean have the same root vegetables and produce and we make similar dishes.
I love ❤️ this interview 😊
Thank you! Make sure you share it!

There's a lot to learn!
There is no area in Jamaica called Calabar, only a high school with that name. The area where the school is is not called Calabar.
yes there is Calabar District,Rio Bueno PO Trelawney.It is located in an area just where Trelawney and St Ann border each other..
Nigerians live in all countries both sides of the hemisphere

I'm sure there is some linkage being that it's a West African version as well!

Good luck in getting a Jamaican MAN to wear a PINK outfit.TO an African man it is ok, that is the difference my friend.
Stop tell the lady crap
Not the missionaries. The slaves named these places
Not all the places were named by slaves.In fact Calabar High School was started in Calabar Trelawny
There's a lot to learn! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
