Let's get off this foolishness that Bahamians are not qualified.I have heard about many cases where bright young Bahamians that attend COB then go abroad get Bachelors, Master's and their Doctorate Degrees then come home with the right qualification's for the job but are told that they were "too qualified' for the job or someone who has been there for "umptine" years won't retire.There are also degrees that some students earn that there are no jobs available.This is why many of them leave our country and find jobs that appreciate their educational achievement's.
They are saying that Junkanoo is not marketable but it is.Tourist's love to rush in the parades.1.Why don't we make and sell the costumes that the dancers wear for the tourists to rush in.They say they want to sell carnival costumes,why don't make and sell the dancers costumes.2.The cowbell's,whistles,shoes,armbands etc all can be customized with the Bahamas colors to be sold to the tourist's as memorabilia.3.The bigger costumes may too big to market but the designers can make smaller ones.4.We can have foreign groups come in and compete in the parades.5.The music is awesome.We can have mass production and sell to tourists and the Bahamian public.All of these memorabilia can also be sold to Bahamians.junkanoo can be marketed and succeed with greater effort.a most recent You tuber is now a millionaire because he put effort into his brand.At first he only had a few likes( say 12 ) but now he has about 2-3 million likes and is a millionaire.We have to take time and effort into making Junkanoo more known.If we could make it to number one last year over Carnival with not that much marketing what will happen if we invest more money into it.
