The Harris family was well known in Brown’s Town and the nearby town of St Ann’s Bay, according to Richard Toyloy who is from the area but now lives in Kingston and runs a catering business. Toyloy says he’s acquainted with some of Harris’ cousins still living in the parish.
“Everyone knows the Harrises in Brown’s Town,” he says. “They are very popular business people.”
Toyloy continues, “Kamala’s great grandmother, she’s Miss Chrishy, everyone knows her. She had a store, what you would call a dry goods store, where everyone went. She on the other side ofher Harris family, the Finnegan side of the family. A bunch of Finnegans migrated to England back in the ’50s and ’60s. A majority of those cousins are in the U.K.”
During the inauguration festivities, Toyloy says he happened to notice two traits that were familiar to him as a Jamaican.
“She dances the way we dance in Jamaica. They say that vibrant energy and laughter, that’s Jamaican. We own that.”
