They love where they live
After travelling from Jamaica to England for a better life, two St Ann’s residents have spoken out about the memories of their homeland and how they’ve rebuilt their lives in Nottingham. Both residents live in Tuntum Housing Association accommodation, Tuntum known for providing affordable housing for people on low incomes or who are vulnerable. Tuntum is the only Black, Ethnic, Minority housing association in the East Midlands.
The event was held at Lyn Gilzean Court, St Ann's Well Road, from 3pm– 9pm on Saturday, August 6. Tuntum residents and their families were invited to attend. With a DJ, food and guest speakers, dominos, card games, arts and crafts and more, the housing association has made it a priority to embrace the culture of their residents.
Marcia continued and told Nottinghamshire Live about what she misses about Jamaica: “I miss the food, the atmosphere, the jokes. In Jamaica, you never stop smiling. The people [in Jamaica] are full of love. Crime is still happening but I will always love the country.” Marcia enjoys cooking for the residents. Her best dishes are seafood. Having come to the country in 1962, Pitman Brown is a tutor in classical music and an author. Pitman, 77, was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and has spent time living in parishes such as Clarendon and St Mary’s.
