Happy Emancipation Day! Today we honour our ancestors—who endured, resisted and rose.✊🏾

Freedom came on 1 Aug 1834 across the British Empire incl Jamaica 🇯🇲

Let’s never forget their sacrifices and build a future rooted in pride, unity, and liberation.💚💛🖤

1/🧵Quick update on our #Tesco Blue Token campaign 💙
#Jamaica Society #Leeds was placed in the wrong region, so we’ve been temporarily withdrawn from the scheme. 😕

But don’t worry — we’ll be back October to December 2025! 🙌🏾
We can’t wait for your support when we return to stores
