Hello! My name is Collis Benjamin, and I proudly call the vibrant West Coast Demerara my home. Living in the heart of the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region, I enjoy the rich cultural tapestry that Guyana offers. From the bustling markets of Parika to the serene banks of the Pomeroon River, every corner of my community is infused with the flavors of our diverse heritage—whether it's savoring a plate of pepperpot or sharing stories under the shade of a mango tree.
As part of the Guyanese diaspora, I find joy in connecting with others who share my roots, whether they're from the bustling streets of Georgetown or far-flung cities like New York. I often reminisce about the unique way we mix our English dialect with local phrases, which brings a warm familiarity to conversations. One of my favorite pastimes is chatting with friends about our experiences abroad, often laughing together at our distinctive pronunciations—like how we say "Essequibo" with that unmistakable local flair!
Through my work and community engagement, I aim to highlight the beauty of our homeland and the challenges we face. Like many of us, I believe in advocating for positive change, hoping to spark conversations that lead to action. Whether it's through social media, community gatherings, or simply enjoying a good meal with family and friends, I cherish the connections that keep our culture alive, both here and in the diaspora.
