Greetings! I’m Arlington Henry, a farmer proudly rooted in the vibrant community of Demerara 13, Vauxhall Canal No. 1, located in the heart of Essequibo Islands-West Demerara. My life revolves around the rich agricultural traditions of Guyana, where the fertile lands yield an abundance of crops and connect us to our ancestors who cultivated this land long before us. Whether it’s growing cassava, sugarcane, or rice, each harvest reflects the resilience and spirit of our people.
Growing up in Guyana, I’ve always been surrounded by the flavors of our diverse cuisine—each meal a celebration of our heritage. From the aromatic spices in our curry to the sweet notes of a perfectly baked black cake during celebrations, food is an integral part of our culture that binds us together, both at home and within the diaspora. I cherish the connections I make with fellow Guyanese and those who share our stories, like my cousin’s culinary journey with "The Singing Chef," which showcases the richness of our culinary arts.
As a farmer, I also recognize the importance of nurturing our environment and passing down sustainable practices to future generations. I take pride in contributing to the local economy while fostering a sense of community among my neighbors. Here in Guyana, I believe that every seed we plant and every crop we harvest is a step towards preserving our cultural legacy and ensuring that our stories continue to thrive.
