What's in a Name?

We deh yah! But how did we get here?
CHAAKLIT WALK IS A JOURNEY INTO JAMAICA’S CULTURAL PAST, AN EXPLORATION OF THE PRESENT AND PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE.
IT IS WHAT WE WERE TAUGHT ABOUT OUR CULTURE AND CUSTOMS AND WHAT WE WEREN’T. IT IS ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE ACCEPTED AS NORMS; ABOUT OUR CHANGING VALUES. CHAAKLIT WALK IS THE VIBRANT MENTO BEAT AND THE SOOTHING SOUNDS OF SWEET REGGAE. IT IS POLITICS. IT IS RELIGION. CHAAKLIT WALK IS THE VERSATILITY OF THE COCOA WHICH ITS TREES BEAR. IT CAN GIVE YOU “SHORT BREATH” IF NOT CAREFULLY CONSUMED, BUT IT CAN ALSO MAKE FOR A SWEET DESSERT.
