🎭 Bernie Bush initiates cultural identity campaign

Culture Minister Bernie Bush has received Cabinet approval for his Ministry of Youth, Sports, Culture and Heritage (MYSCH) to launch a cultural identity campaign. The campaign aims to formally name the National Dish, Drink, Dessert, Dress, and Dance, thereby raising awareness of authentic Caymanian customs and traditions. Bush expressed his pride in being part of a Cabinet that understands the importance of cultural identity and supports efforts to strengthen, safeguard, and promote Cayman’s cultural heritage. He emphasized the need to establish and highlight the aspects of Caymanian customs and traditions that unify the people as the nation continues to evolve. 🌴

In the spirit of the holiday season, ministry officials are encouraging people to discuss Cayman’s heritage and traditions with their loved ones. This includes not only food and dances but also the more challenging aspects of how the society was built, such as the legacy of slavery in the Cayman Islands. The ministry will be sharing more details about the public consultation period and ways the community can participate in the coming days. Meanwhile, the public is invited to engage with the campaign through various social media platforms or by attending upcoming events. 🎉
