Cultural Icon Wants More Focus on African Heritage During St. St. Patrick’s Festival

A cultural activist is encouraging Montserratians to embrace more of their Africian Heritage.

Costume Designer Jeweline Roberts-Riley says although the St Patrick’s Festival focuses on the Irish culture, attention must be paid to the island’s African origins.

Roberts-Riley was speaking at the 2019 Afrostrat Market Day last Friday.
