Greetings! My name is Althea Benn, and I proudly call the vibrant community of West Coast Demerara home. Nestled along the banks of the Essequibo River, this area is not just where I reside but where my heart beats in rhythm with the rich culture and heritage of Guyana. From the lush landscapes to the sounds of the bustling markets, everyday life here is a celebration of our unique identity. Whether I'm enjoying a plate of pepperpot or taking in the scenic views from the historic Fort Zeelandia, I find joy in the simple pleasures that define our Guyanese way of life.
As a resident of this beautiful country, I take pride in our diverse culture and the warmth of our people. Guyana is often misunderstood as just another Caribbean island, but we stand apart with our distinct traditions and customs, from our colorful festivals to our delicious culinary offerings. Engaging with fellow Guyanese, whether here or in the diaspora, reminds me of our shared experiences and deep connections. I cherish the stories and memories that bind us, whether it’s reminiscing about the vibrant streets of Georgetown or the sense of community found in places like Richmond Hill.
In my journey, I aim to share the beauty and richness of Guyana with the world. I believe in the power of storytelling and the importance of cultural exchange. Let’s celebrate our heritage and keep the spirit of Guyana alive, no matter where we are. Together, we can continue to foster connections that honor our past and inspire our future.
