Tallawah Abroad: Remembering Little Jamaica Filming Locations

Little Jamaica, a neighbourhood in Toronto's west end, was a once thriving hub for Black and Caribbean business owners until the ills of gentrification reared its ugly head. Vernal Small, the owner of the 47-year old business Jamall Caribbean Custom Tailor, is now tasked with confronting how the construction of the incoming above ground light rail is shifting the dynamic of his community, changing their future and slowly erasing their presence in the process. Tallawah Abroad aims to answer how Small, residents and other business owners are preparing themselves for all the adjustments on the horizon.
