About JOY OLIVIA BENJAMIN

About Joy Benjamin

Hello! My name is Joy Benjamin, and I proudly call the lush island of Barima-Waini my home. As a dedicated farmer, I cultivate a variety of crops that reflect the rich agricultural heritage of Guyana. From the sweet taste of plantains to the vibrant colors of cassava and rice, my farm is a celebration of the flavors that connect us to our land. I believe that every meal tells a story, and I take great joy in sharing these stories through the food I grow.

Guyana is a place of incredible beauty, from the pristine rainforests to the breathtaking waterfalls like Kaieteur, which I cherish visiting whenever I can. Despite the challenges we face, such as environmental concerns and public transport issues, I remain hopeful and committed to fostering a better future for our community. It is essential to recognize both the struggles and the triumphs of our culture, whether it's through our delicious Guyanese Chinese cuisine or the warmth of our people who welcome everyone with open arms.

Although many of us have migrated around the world, from Canada to the Caribbean, the bond we share with our homeland remains strong. I often find myself reminiscing about those vibrant gatherings filled with laughter, music, and food. I look forward to connecting with fellow Guyanese and anyone who shares a love for our culture, whether through a plate of cook-up rice or a heartfelt conversation. Wam deh! 🇬🇾
