He says he has never had an issue with racism
A Leeds Rastafarian man has opened up about the ‘no-go racist’ areas in Leeds he was told to avoid before moving to the city.
Sammy, who is a father-of-ten and grandfather-of-five, is a proud Rastafarian and has been part of Leeds roots-reggae-dub collective Iration Steppas for more than 30 years. When he decided to make the move to Leeds, he was given a well-meaning warning by other members of the community. When Sammy first moved to Leeds, he decided to live in the Harehills and Chapeltown areas. But eight years ago, he moved to Seacroft with his wife – where he’s very happy and gets along well with his neighbours.
“It makes me feel bad but there’s nothing I can do about it. I don’t let things get on top of me or cause stress – as stress is a killer. There’s nothing I can do about it.” “As a pain relief, it has been helpful to me over the years. Medicinal, spiritual and it just keeps me in a good mood. I smoke about half an ounce a day to an ounce. I smoke spliffs.”
