My Story: Marcus from Jamaica
MarcusJamaica Birmingham
We walked up to Marcus in Birmingham and asked him about his roots, his dreams, and what makes him proud to be Jamaican-British.
Q&A
Where are you from originally?
My family is from Kingston, Jamaica. I was born here in Birmingham.
What does heritage mean to you?
It means everything. It's the food, the music, the way my nan talks. It's in how I carry myself.
What would you tell a younger you?
Don't forget who you are. The world will try to make you forget. Don't let it.
