Inherited from our West African heritage, our tradition of the Mocko Jumbie came to our shores with slaves who were brought to our island.🌊
The Mocko Jumbie is believed to represent a seeker or a protector as they stand tall on stilts, reaching six to eight feet high, and their tallness is symbolic to the power of God.
The Mocko Jumbie demonstrates our incredible bravery as we continue to stand tall and be resilient in the face of adversity. 🎭
