Greetings! I am Shonella Elkino, a proud resident of Baramita in the enchanting Barima-Waini region of Guyana. Nestled in the heart of the rainforest, Baramita is not just my home; it embodies the rich heritage of our indigenous peoples, the Akawaio and other tribes who have called this land home for centuries. I find great pride in sharing our native traditions and stories, recognizing that as history unfolds, it is vital to honor the roots that shape our identity.
As a passionate advocate for our local culture, I deeply appreciate the vibrant flavors of Guyanese cuisine, from the aromatic pepperpot to the savory metemgee. Each dish tells a story, connecting us to our ancestors and the land we cherish. I often find myself reminiscing about the lively gatherings where we share meals, laughter, and music, strengthening the bonds of community that extend beyond our borders to the Guyanese diaspora. Just as travelers from distant lands, like my friend from Hawaii exploring the Amazon, appreciate our unique landscapes, I too treasure the connections we forge with those who carry our culture in their hearts.
Living in Baramita allows me to witness the intricate balance of nature and culture, where the Pomeroon River flows and the lush green hills stand as sentinels of our history. I invite you to join me in celebrating our shared journey, whether through stories of the vibrant life along the rivers or the spirited conversations that echo through Georgetown and beyond. Together, we honor the past while paving the way for a bright future, embracing the diverse heritage that makes Guyana truly special.
