Broomie sweeps traditional craft into modern business

Long before the Broomie™ brand became a growing Jamaican business, Oshane Mamby was a boy in Clarendon watching his family transform palm thatch and sticks into something simple but indispensable: a broom. Broom-making was part of everyday life. His uncles, aunts and other elders worked with their hands, producing brooms that helped put food on the table, even though the craft often brought little recognition or financial reward. For Mamby, however, those humble brooms represented something much bigger.
