Wilchcombe aims to promote the ‘true identity’ of Bahamian culture in Carnival

I am not anti-Carnival, I am looking for the positive economic window as was promised to SMALL businesses by the PM. But I am most upset with how this entire thing is unfolding. I am disgusted with the attitude of the commission that "this what we doing and we don't care what you think, there will always be naysayers anyway". I am disgusted that the value of the Bahamian customer has been completely overlooked. I can't say I could do a better job, but I know some principles. And one of the most important ingredients in any venture such as this is identifying your stakeholders, those who are on your side AND those who are against your vision. Your number one task is to sell your vision to EVERYBODY. By dismissing the Junkanoo community and dismissing the Christian community you have slashed your audience for what you purport is a CULTURAL event. How dumb is that? You have an idea in your hand that you could have gotten the entire Junkanoo community, the entire Bahamian public even, on board, but you allow foolish arguments like "they old. they e'enh coming anyway. this for young people" etc, get those voices out of your midst or this is definitely doomed to fail.
