Minister Daryll Matthew with members of the Creek Side Rastafarian community
Today, parliamentary representative Daryll Matthew met with members of the Rastafarian community in Creek Side for a constructive discussion aimed at fostering unity and understanding within the constituency.
The meeting highlighted the importance of incorporating diverse voices and perspectives in the community, demonstrating Matthew’s commitment to ensuring that all constituents feel represented and heard. “As an integral part of our constituency, the Rastafarian community plays a vital role in shaping our collective identity,” Matthew stated.
This ongoing dialogue is part of Matthew’s broader initiative to strengthen community ties and promote collaborative efforts among diverse groups. He emphasized that such discussions are essential for moving forward together and building a stronger, more unified community.
Members of the Rastafarian community expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to engage with their parliamentary representative, underscoring the value of open communication and partnership in addressing the unique challenges and needs of the community.
It’s a good start, but I’ll wait to see what actions follow these discussions. Representation must come with tangible outcomes.
Let’s hope this isn’t just a photo-op. The Rastafarian community has been marginalized for too long, we need real policy changes, not just talks.
Why should they be treated any different from the rest of us
Given the recent legal recognition of sacramental marijuana use, such meetings are vital to ensure the effective implementation of these new rights and to address any lingering challenges or concerns faced by the Rastafarian community.
