This man, I believe his name is Johnny Broom, makes and sells brooms for $200JMD in Whitfield Town, a poor community in Kingston (I never know how to properly describe these communities- “inner-city”? poor? rough? tough? lower socio-economic status? The point is, how do you describe a community as poor, or less-advantaged, and does it matter? I think it does, as these injustices and poor living conditions must be highlighted until they change. But the stigmatization and stereotypes that come with these labels don’t every help the situation…) Anyway, Johnny Broom was happy to greet and talk to a group of people on a media tour. He sells his products, built from bamboo, around the area.
He looks like such a nice man. I also struggle with finding the right way to describe communities such as his… It’s really tricky to find the right words.
yes, it is…I never know what to do…
