TOURING…..
TRENCH TOWN STYLE
As we take the Trench Town Tour with master
Tour Guide, Sonia Whyte, we are amazed
at how innovative and entrepreneurial the
craftsmen and women of the Greater Trench
Town Communities have literally use their
‘hands to tun and mek fashion’.
Sonia is well known in the Communities
of the Greater Trench Town. She is one of
the stars of the community, someone who
make things happen so it’s no surprise that
she is seen as a role model and accorded
that respect wherever she goes. Sonia has
alway been a lover of her community and
as such she has given of her time and skills
to shape its future. She is among the most
experienced Tour Guides within Trench
Town and uses her skills to train other tour
guides for their roles. As such, she is a part
of Culture Yard Management team, The CoChair of Trench Town Festival, Manager of
Trench Town Community Peace & Justice
Dispute Result Foundation and also serves
the community a Justice of the Peace (JP).
In 2015 Sonia was awarded for her work in
Community Development by the Governor
General.
Sonia’s daily commute in and around Trench
Town is her on trusty bicycle as she moves
about in service to her community members.
Albeit, The Trench Town Tour is a walking
tour, affording all visitors the opportunity to
interface with members of the community in
their own environment.
The Tour begins at Trench Town’s most
famous landmark…..
