𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 1/ Good day.
I came across a post online from someone who was identified as a principal of Ramsaran's Dairy Products.
It is troubling that in these times when we as a nation have to band together to survive, someone who has benefitted so much from the>
2/ grassroots communities would now turn on us with such scorn and blatant disregard.
Naila Ramsaran's comments—and her subsequent "apology"—resonate a particular brand of racism that affects a specific band of T&T's business and social elites. It is classified by a short memory.
3/ I remember as a youth that the Ramsaran juice box symbolised that my family had enough spare cash to splurge on a premium product. Fresh milk. Fresh orange juice. Better than the foreign imports and franchises that operated in the market. Local to the core.
4/ Now, with the trend towards heavily diluted concentrates, artificial flavours and fillers permeating the product spectrum, a company like yours would have been poised to take advantage of the opportunity to point your brand towards a client looking for wholesome goodness.
5/ And now this disingenuous "apology" to cover up a truth too nasty to hide behind.
I fully expect that there will be no response to this email, but I cannot carry on like this is not feeling like a personal betrayal of me and my support for your brand >>
6/ over the last five decades.
Very disappointed.
